A surrender, en his part, of the powers with which the con. stitution has invested his office, would effect a practical alteration of that instrument, without tescrting to the prescribed process of amend- ment. With the motives gg considerations which may induce Congress to pass any bill, the Pre. sident can have nothing tudo. He must pre- sume thein to be as pure as his own, and look only to the practical effect of their measures when compared with the constitution or the public good. | But it bas been urged hy those who object to the exercise of this constitutional power, that it assails the representative princi- plé'and the capacity of the people to govern themselves ; that there is greater safety in a numerous representative body than in the sin- gle executive created by the constitution, and that the executive veto is a “one-man power,” despotic in its character. ‘lo expose the falla- ey of this objection, it is only necessary to con- sider the franie and true character of our sys- tem.

They guarded their own rights as Sates and the rights of the people, by the very limitations which they incorporaied into the federal constitution, whereby the different de- partments of the general government were cheeks upon each other. nodoubted That the majority should govern, is a general principle, contro- verted by none; but they must govern accord. ing to the constitution, and not according to an vodefined and unrestrained discretion, whereby they may oppress the minority. The people of the United States are not blind to the fact that they may be temporarily mislec, tnd that their representatives, legislative and executive, may he mistaken or influenced in their action y improper motives. ‘They bave therefore interposed Letween themselves and the laws which may be passe:! by their public agents, various representations, such as assem. blies, senates, and Governors ia their several ales; a House of Represent. ives, a Senate tada President of the United States. The People can, by their own direct agency make Wo law ; nor can the House of Representatives immediately elected by them; norcan the Sen.

If it be said that the representatives in the popular branch of Congress are chosen direct- ly by the people, it is answered, the people e- lect the President. the States and the people, so does the Presi- dent.

Ifthe principle insisted on be sound, then the constitution should be so changed that no bill shall become a law unless it is voted for by mnembers representing in each house a majori- ty of the whole people of the United States.— We must remodel our whole system, strike down and abolish not only the salutary checks lodged in the executive branch, but must strike out and abolish those lodged in the Senate also, and thus practically invest the whole power of the government in a majority ofa single assem. | bly—a majority uncontrolled and absolute, and | which may become despotic. ‘To conform to ‘this doctrine of the right of majorities to rule, | independent of the checks and limitations of the We must destroy the constitutional : aehe ani : constitution, we must revolutionize our whole . | lic opinion is enabled within a reasonable time | cy ctem i a * to accomplish its ends, has made our country | compact by which the several States agreed to. what it is, and has opened to us a career of | form a federal union, and rush into consolida- glory and bappiness to which all other nations | tion, which must end in monarchy or despotism. | compose their respective constituencies. have been strangers. . In the exercise of the power of the veto, the President is responsible not only to an enlight- ened public opinion, but to the people of the whole Union, who elected him, as the repre- sentatives in the legislative branches, who dif- fer with him in opinion, are responsible to the people of particular States, or districts, who To deny to the President the exercise of this power, would be to repeal that provision of the consti- tution which confers it upon him. ‘To charge that its exercise unduly controls the legislative will, is to complain of the constitution itself. If the Presidential veto be objected to upon- }} Pp the ground that it checks and thwarts the pub- lic will, upon the same principle the equality of | representation of the Sates inthe Senate should be stricken out of the constitution. The vote 'of a Senator from Delaware has equal weight in deciding upon the most important measures with the vote of a Senator from New York ; and yet the one represents a State containing, according to the existing apportionment of rep- resentatives in the House of Representatives, but one-thirty-fourth part of the population of the other. By the constitutional composition of the Senate, a majority of that body from the smaller States represent less than one-fourth of the people of the Union. ‘There are thirty States ; and under the existing apportionment of representatives, there are 230 members in the House of Representatives. Sixteen of the smaller States are represented in that house by but filty members; and yet the Senators from these States constitute a majority of the Senate. So that the President may recommend a mea. sure to Congress, and it may receive the sanc- tion or approval of more than three-fourths of the House of Representatives, and of all the Senators from the large States, containing more than three-fourths of the whole population of the United Siates ; and yet the measure may be de- feated by the votes of the Senators from the smaller States. None, it is presumed, can be found, ready to change the organization of the Senate on this account, or to strike that body action shall be contormed tothe will of the more numerous branches. Upon the same priocipie that the veto of the President should be practically abolished, the power of the Vice President to give the casting vote upon an equal division ofthe Senate should be abolished also. ‘he Vice President exer. , cises the veto power quite as effectually, by re- jecting a bill by his casting vote, as the Presi- | No one advocates such a‘proposition ; and yet the doctrine maintained, ifcarried out must lead to this result. One great object of the constitution in con- | ferring upon the President a qualified negative upon the legislaiion of Congress, was to protect _ minorities from injustice and oppression by ma- jorities. ‘The equality of their represeatation in the Senate, and the veto power of the Presi- dent, aye the constitutional guaranties which the smaller States have that their rights will be re- spected. Without these guaranties, all their interests would be at the mercy of majorities in Congress representing the larger States. the smaller and weaker States, therefore, the preservation of this power, and its exercise up- on proper occasions demanding it, is of vital importance. ‘They ratified the constitution, and entered into the Union, securing to themselves an equal representation with the larger States in the Senate; and they agreed to be bound hy all laws passed by Congress upon the ex- press condition, and none other, that they should he approved by the President, or passed, his objections to the contrary notwithstanding, by a vote of two-thirds of both houses. Upca this condition they have a right to insist, as a part of the compact to which they gave theirassent. A bill might be passed by Congress against the will ofthe whole people ofa particular State and against the vote of its Senators and Repre- sentatives. [owever prejudicial it might be to the interest of such State, it would be bound by it ifthe President shall approve it, or it shuuld be passed by a vote of two-thirds of both hous- es; but it has a right to demand that the Pre- sident shall exercise hisconstitutional power,and arrest it, if his judgment is against it. If he surrender this power, or fail to exercise it ina case where he cannot approve, it would make his formal approval a mere mockery, and would be itselfa violation of the constitution, and the dissenting State would become bound by a law which had not been passed according to the sanctions of the constitution.

Whenever, if ever, this shall occur, our glorious system of weil regulated self-govern. ment will crumble into ruins—to be succeeded, first by anarchy, and finally by monarcy or des- potism. Tam far from believing that this doc. trine is the sentiment of the American people ; and during the shoit period which remains, in which it will be my duty to administer the ex. ecutive departinent, it will be my aim to main. tain its independence, and discharge its duties, without infringing upon the powers or duties, of either of the other departments of the govern. ment. ‘The power of the executive veto was exer- cised by the first and most illustrious of my pre- decesaors, and by four of his successors who preceded ine in the administration of the gov- ernment, and, it is believed, in no instance pre- judicially to the public interests. It has never been and there is but little danger that it ever can be abused. No President will ever desire, unneccessarily, to place his opinion in opposi- tion to that of Congress. He must always ex- ercise the power reluctantly, and only in cases where his convictions make it a matter of stern duty, which he cannot escape. Indeed, there is more danger that the President, from the re. pugnanee he must always feel to come in col- lission with Congress, may fail to exercise it in cases where the preservation of the constitu. tion from infraction, or the public good, may demand it, than that he will ever exercise it un- necessarily or wantonly. During the period | have administered the executive department of the Government, great and important questions of public policy ; for- ‘eign and domestic, have arisen, upon which it was my duty to act. It may indeed be truly said that my administration has fallen upon eventful times. I bave felt most sensibly the weight of the high responsibilities devolved up- on ine. With no other object than the public good, the enduring fame, and permanent pros- perity of my country, [ have pursued the con- victions of my own best judgment. The im. partial arbitrament of enlightened public opin- ion, present and future, will determine how far the public policy [ have maintained, and the measures I have from time to time recommen. ded, may have tended to advance or retard the public prosperity at home, and to elevate or de- press the estimate of our national character a- broad. Invoking the blessings of the Almighty upon your deliberations at your present: important session, my ardent hope is, that ina spirit of harmony and concord you may be guided to wise results, and such as may redound to the happiness, the honor, and the glory of our be- loved country. JAMES K. POLK. WasnHincTon, Dec. 5, 1848. CULTIVATION OF INDIGO. Among cyers and color makers, the Bengal indigo is highest prized. It is far superior to any other kind. The Guita- mala or South American is the next in quality, and then the various grades of Spanish float, &c. The best Bengal sells for $2 per pound and it is a great source of revenue to the British Government.— As this is at present the most valuable of all the dye drugs, selling for more than cochineal, the U. States must consume more and more of it, as we increase in manofactures. The coliivation of the in- digo plant should therefore arrest the at- tention of our Southern planters, as there can be no doubt of an open and ready sale at all times, if the quality is good. We ‘say thig because some may say that “there ‘is not a good market for what is now drawn over a white surface ; but above all, by the purity of the color itself. | In the Delta of the Ganges, where the | best and largest quantity of indigo is pro- | duced, the plant lasts for only a single season, being destroyed by the periodical inundations; but in the dry central and) western provinces, one or two rattoon | crops are obtained. In South Carolina the following method is employed to extract the indigo from the | plant, which answers well enough for do- | mestic purposes, but it is time that great- | er attention was paid to the manafacture of a better article. When the underbearers begin tr ury, they are cut down and put into a barrel filled with rain water with boaras and weights placed on them to keep thein un- | der water. When bubbles begin to form on the top | and the water begins to look of a reddish | color, it is soaked enough. and must be ta- ken out, taking care to wring and squeeze | the leaves well, so as to obtain all the. strength of the plant; it must then be, churned (which may be done by means of \ | | | \ | atolerable open basket, with a handle to r raise it up and down) until the liquor is” quite in a foam. ‘To ascertain whether it is done enough a spoonfull is taken out on a plate, and a small quantity of very strong lye put into it. If the liquor curdles, it is a sign that it is churned enough, when potash lye of considerable strength is added by small quantities and the churning continued un- til it is all sufficiently curdled ; care must be taken not to put in too much lye, as that will spoil it. When it curdles treely with the lye, it must be sprinkled well over the top with oil, which immediately causes the foam to subside, after which it must stand till the indigo settles to the bottom of the barrel. This may be dis- covered by the appearance of water, which must be let off gradually by boring holes first near the top, and afterwards lower, | as it continues to settle. When the wa-, ter is all let off, and nothing remains but the mud, it is taken and put intoa funnel bag, and hung up to drip, afterwards spreading it to dry on large dishes. None of the foam, which is the strength of the weed, should escape.—Scientific Auru, The City of Bombay Last Indics. Bombay contains a population of above three hundred thousand inhabitants, large proportion of whom are Hindoos— the remainder are Mahomedans, Armeni- ans, Jews, and about 8000 Parsees, or fire worshippers. Tbe houses of the Parsees, many of whom are wealthy, are ofien of great extent ; because, if a man has ma- ny sons, they continue to live under the same roof, even when married—with their families, and uncles, aunts, brothers, sis- ters, sons, daughters, and grandchildren, and remain together till the increase of numbers actually compels a portion of the family to remove, and to erect new dwel lings for their own accommodation. The lower classes content themselves with small huts, mostly of clay, with the roofs , made. ofthe leaves of Palmyra or cocoanut trees. Many people will be surprised to learn that the worshippers of fire still exist in the East. but they are still numercus in the Indian Archipelego, where many of them found refuge from the relentless Mahomedan.—Scientific American. a ——_»-—— Counsellors of State.—The following genile- men, ail whigs, have been eletied Counsellors of State, viz: Lewis Bond, Joshua Tayloe, Na. | thaniel ‘I.

The Speaker annnounced the arrival of the hour for taking up the order of the day, ViD? the establishinent of an Asylum for the bnsane, when Mr. Dobbin moved to amend the bill by in- serling 1} cents on every $100 worth of prop- erty, and 5} cents on every Poll, for four years leaving the County Cuurts the liberty to redyeq { e Ayo a the Poor ‘Tax, if found onerous. Mr. Dobbin then weut into a most able and eloquent defence of the bill and its objects; at the close of which, the amendment proposed’by. him was adopted, and the bill passed its second reading—Ayes 101; Noes 10. Mr. Stanly then moved the suspension of the Rules in order that the bill might be put upon its third reading ; which was carried, aod it passed its third reading—Ayes 91; Noes 9! On motion, the House then adjourned. (For the Carolina Watchman. } THE FRUIT OF THE VINE. A Missionary at Constantinople gives an account of the various uses of the pro- ducts of the vine in the East at the pre- sent day; and as that is called by ten dif ferent words in the Bible, all translated wine, it is the object of the writer tosbow that wine in our sense of the term, is pt@ bably intended in but few of the many passages of the Bible where the article ts spoken of with commendation, and as ah emblem of temporal blessings, see Deut, 7,13. Neh. iv, 39, and also, Num. 6, 3-4 We shall give a mere abstract of the author. He says “thatin Asia Minor and Syria, the largest part of the prodtice of the vine is used for other parposes than making intoxicating liquor.” Another man says in reference to Syria “wine is not the most important, but. ra- ther the least so, of all the objects. for which the vine is cultivated.” And of aa- other place, “ the wine made is an item ‘of no consideration.” What then do thi¢y ' raise the grapes for?

Massgs. Eptrors—There is perhaps, no portion of the “Union” more oppressed by a tenacious adherence to certain arbitrary systems, than that part of North Car- olina, of which I have the honor of being a native. It must appear evident, even to the most casual ob- server, that in no enterprise whatever, in which the fa- vored sons of the “Old North State” have been en- | gaged, so much deficiency manifests itself, as in that of Agriculture. The same modes of husbandry introduced by our fathers fifty years ago, are still jn vogue, and all atiempts at reformation on this score, have almost en- tirely failed. The farmer of the present age, in imita- tion of his worthy progenitor, when about to prepare his ground for a crop, asks himself the usual question,— how many acres will my force be able to cultivate 7— And not content with the amount of the preceding, he adds for this year, a few acres more. What is the con- sequence?) Evidently this, that the land from a want of proper improvement and cultivation, fails to produce the amount of grain anticipated. This follows from the very nature of the laws which regulate all vegetable productions that do not grow spontaneously, for such as require culture at all, invariably flourish best, when placed in a soil adapted to their growth, and properly tilled. ‘This momentous fact, although so often and sleariy demonstrated in the experience of every husband- man, has been insufficient to effeet a change of system, and suggests to the Farmer this important query,—how eine shall 1 be able to grow on this or that acre? ere lies the great secret of the success o ° ‘hi lf i iti aie an ee eee | himself an eminent position among us. solve in future, to lay aside the old, and ado ; rt pt @ new | mountain a i and far preferable system of preparing and cultivating | tmosphere. and the exemption : of our village f li i ; oh pruners Pee nt Pal tat be would ic diseases ata oe ver the disadvantages under which he had | ,: ; fe r . pepir applet and the inestimable superiority of one | Neen a ee " ich we think culture over that of another. | r . cnGec@ noes, shana ete is a lainentable deficiency in the mode of | rhe Stigma of having “no church” is fultere practiced by those in whose midst I have been | an E e1ng removed from us, for there is Rertared, cannot be denied by any one who will avail 2” piscopal Church almost completed, himee Mf of the pleasure of sojourning n few short years W hose architectural beauty will compare - coe tate * Pennsylvania, noted for its high state with any in the Western portion of the om eativation. ‘There we find the husbandman usually | State—the contracts has been taken for >9 possession of a very small farm ; but instead of ap- plying we eae 38 some fooliehly would do, to the cul- | whose erection will follow as soon as tivation of the whole, he wisely selects a part only, and | practicable.

S a whole natiom has spoken enthusiastically of iy ulrivalled excellence of Dr. Le Roys Veget Universal Pills, it may seem useless to publish individ. al certificates ; still we feel induced to yield to custo; admitting the following ; the more willingly, as theye nate from persons who are not likely to be misled, by popular excitement which the appearance of those Pili has occasioned. From the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicine yg cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr. Le Rov's much land. ed discovery. His Pills are indeed a puryative which may be taken without risk, or the advice of a physician; for they produce evacuation without weakness, and coum energy in the digestive functions, without straining them, and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. From the Lancet, August 23, 1845. ’ Dr. Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients, so as to-produce a medicine at once tonic, and purgative, the only perfect discovery of the kind ever made, though a desideratum which the ablest physiciam in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy, July 1, \®48. As far as we have had time to judge, both by hearsay and experience, Dr. Charles Le Roy has made @ moa valuable discovery, and added a purgiative to the list of medicines whic .. must take the precedence of all othen, as being the safest and most effective. Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are the principal ingredients of his Pills We shall recur to them more particularly in ovr ned number. For sale by Messrs. Brown & James, Salisbury ; b P.

The Sun, of that city, sayS— It appears that a Frenchman named Francis Geiger, living at No. 118 Cedar street, formerly lived with a beautiful French girl, as his mistress, but quarreled with her. She then left him, and has liv- ed for some time past with a German, named Frederic William Marks. <A few days since Marks and his mistress came to live in the second story of the house in which yesterday’s tragedy took place.— Marks was a tailor and worked at his trade in the house. Early yesterday morn- ing Geiger called and wished the girl to go with him, but she refused, and he left the place. At about 11 o'clock he rode up in one of the East Broadway stages and entered the house. Ina few minutes afterwards, a desperate and deadly strug- | gle commenced between Marks and Gei- ger. Marks is small, thick set, dark com- plexion and homely ; Geiger is large, mus- cular and handsome. Both were in the prime of life ; one was armed witha short dirk, and the other a d°!.-):nife, and both fought desperately. Tis. worman seream- ed for assistance, and sowie other persons living in the house shouted murder. A young man named Chase, who was pass- ing by at the time, opened the door, and on the stairs met Marks covered with blood. one wrist cut nearly off, the liga. ments of the other arm cut dreadfully, and numerous deadly stabs on his body. Mr. Chase’s first impulse was to push the bloody man from him, lest he himself Should be supposed to be concerned in the affray, but the next moment he caught the Wounded man in his arms. Marks never spoke, but being laid down, expired in a few minutes On entering the room, Mr. Chase found Geiger in oue corner of it, stabbed in several places, and in the ag- onies of death, and the woman in another Corner, with a wound in her breast, and another under her left arm. Geiger was seen by persons in the back yard. in the &ct of stabbing her. Whether he was bimself killed by the hands of Marks, or Whether he stabbed Marks and the wo- Man, and then himself, is unkown. The ay two men died in a few minutes ; the we- Man was carried to the Hospital, but there are no hopes of saving her life.— Capt.

It will not be expected that so near the termination of your session, I will present to your consideration, any specific scheme of policy.

There is no heart so cold as not to con- | sider it mect and proper at this time, in this place, and under these circumstances, to acknowledge with devout gratitude the goodness of God, to thank hitn for the multiplied blessings conterred upon our : g p country, and earnestly to supplicate a con- tinuance of His favors. We have, most truly, just cause to be thankful—thankful for our country, her pings of office. That our political oppo- _nents are not to be regarded as a conquer- | ‘ed enemy to be crushed beneath the heel of power—but as countrymen bound up in the same destiny with ourselves—joint inheritors and owners of a common gov- | | ernment—copartners in the same great | -charterguaranties justice and equal rights | to all—in a word, Our Fellow Citizens. In the important prerogative of Legis- lation, the EXxxecutive branch of our State | Government is wholly excluded. Our early history exhibits on every page, | the clearest evidence that no Colony un- | der the dominion of the Mother Country was misgoverned and oppressed to an equal extent with North Carolina. Hence, — as a natural consequence, no one of our State Constitutions furnishes such marked er. The Governor possesses neither an tion has been assumed and sanctioned by usage, in imitation of the course under ‘the Federal Constitution, rather than de- ‘rived from any provision in our own. climate and her soil—thankful for her In- | stitutions, and for the law-abiding hearts of our people. Prominent among the events of the year that has just closed, is the great political Revolution through which we have pass- ed. 1 allude to it here in no spirit of vain glory and exultation at a Party triumph. God forbid that on an occasion like this, our hearts should swell with any other emotion than love for our common coun- try, our Whole country. In the formation of the Federal consti- tution, there was no subject of such anx- ious and painful consideration as the ar- rangement of the Executive department. The elective monarchies of the old world had proved the most defective of all sys- tems of government. able Statesmen feared that any scheme by which the chief Executive Magistrate should be chosen'at brief intervals must produce universal tumult and confusion, and prove eminently wanting in stability and security. : The most ardent and confident advo- cates of Republican governments, re garded it as the pivot on which the suc- cess or failure of our great experiment in political science was to turn. Nor did the success which marked every step of our National progress in itsearly career, serve to dispel their gloomy apprehensions.

The National Intelligencer of the 4th | says: We rejoice that the serics of measures resorted to in the late War, upon the sole authority of the President of the United States, for collecting duties of impost in Mexico, and disbursing the proceeds there- of absolutely without law and against law, are likely to be brought to the test of a | Legislative inquiry. ° The reply of the President tothe call by the House of Representatives, for informa. | | tion on the subject was sent in to the | House of Representatives yesterday, and, | /on the motion of Mr. Toombs, a select committee has been raised to consider the subject. A debate took place upon the motion, in the course of which one of the leading supporters of the President de-, | clared his opinion to be that the disburse. ment of the money at least. if not its col- lection, was wholly unconstitutional. | We trust that a decisive Protest will | be placed on record in the House of Rep- resentatives against this usurpation of power, such as shall serve for a beacon and a warning to all future Presidents who may take it into their heads to usurp | powers which the Constitution has not only not conferred upon them, but has ex. pressly confided to the Legislative branch | of the Government. | ! | | | | Massachusetts Special Election. —T | special election held on Monday last 1 | the four districts of Massachusetts which failed to elect Representatives to Con- | gress at the regular election in November, | has resulted in the re-election of Daniel /P.

Davis, Esq. of Montgomery | county, suggests that a public library be established in every county in his district. | He says, in the true spirit of an old Ma-_ | rylander; | | “ Ifyou will make the beginning, I will | | e happy to make the first contributions | j to your library, and from time to time will , continue them,” We hope this suggestion of Gen, Chap- , man will be responded to in a proper spir- it, and that public libraries will net only be esiablished ia every county of the | first district, but in every county of the | State.— Baltimore Patriot, { | | | | | portation of produce increased them. ‘ing Rip Van Winkle in the State. could South Carolina.

No bribery of English lords could turn him from his purpose—no sense of danger could disinay his spirits, fur he had resolved to sacrifice all for the priceless privileges of freedom. He stood with Putnam and Warren, at Bunker Hill, when, a little band of devoted patriots, with their fowl- ing pieces, twice repulsed the British with their boom- ing cannon and crimson regimentals. He fought on the | bloody field of the Brandywine ; and was with the Fa- ther of his Country, at Yorktown, when the echoing | shouts of *‘ they've surrendered” shook the embattled columns of the American army. Sometime after peace had beea declared, he emigrated to the Western part of this State. Having endured British oppression—having served his country eight years in her unconquerable ef- | fort to throw off her yoke of bondage, he was well pre- pared to appreciate all that liberty bestows And hence, in private life he evinced none other than fixed princi- ples of Republicanism, which impelled him to perpetu- ate its blessings, and leave it a glorious inheritance to after ages. He was conservative in all his efforts, gen- erous to enemies—faithful to friends. He had been for years a member of the Baptist Church ; and we earnest- ly trust, that his long life, devoted to his Country and to God, has but ended to commence another brighter and happier existence in that world where the happy spirits Great and inar- velous are thy works Lord God Almighty ; just and true are thy ways, Thou King of Saints.—{Com. .

Salishury, January 11,1849 ly To the Tanners of the surround-' ing Counties. | YOU are respectfully requested to meet in Statesville, Iredell County, on Tuesday of the February Court, which will be on the 20th day of the month. The purpose of making this call upon the Tanners is to consult upon the propriety of holding a convention in the Western part of the State, the object of which will be to devise some gen- eral plan, and to communicate information to each other in order to compete with the North. We have driven all | (or nearly so) of their Oak Tan Sole Leather out of the | Southern market. The way that we are now situated is, | that we have to make u first rate article of sole and sell it as low as the second quality of the Northern article. We see no good reason why our nerchants should collect mo- ney from us here at the South and carry it to the North | _ and lay it out for leather and shoes to keep up Northern | | mechanics and workmen, when we can make just as good an article. Were we to getall the money that is | taken to the North for leather, shoes and boots, we could | afford to furnish it justas low. All the Tanners in the | Western part of the State are invited to attend said meet- ing ; and Mr. Silas Taylor of Bedford County, Virginia, | is respectfully invited to meet with us, if it will suit his convenience to do so.

Jones, who is described as a bold, reckless be- ing, more apt to court than to shun danger, de- termined at once upon sport. Accordingly the hostile demonstrations of the animal were met in a corresponding spirit, and by flourishing his hat and other acts of defiance, he endeavored to inflame the passions of the beast.

How the hearts of the projectors must have throbbed with feverish anxiety, lest some unlucky accident. or some unforseen defect should cap the climax of their wea- ry studies and watchings, and doom them to disappointment and disgrace—beside General Pasley’s spleen, who high and lordly proved its failure before its com. -mencement, a common thing with the 'mercly scientific, who have not the good ‘fortune of the practical along with it.

In- to the cavity of this cylinder was fitted | the ram, as it is called,—a mass of solid iron 17 inches in diameter, so that it did not fit the cylinder quite accurately, but left a vacuity for the passage of the wa- ter to the bottom. Attached to the top of this ram was a cross head two square feet | thick, with two square apertures for the chains to pass toliftthe tube. Thechains were of flat bar wrought iron 7 inches wide and 1} thick, and 6 feet long. The stroke of the ram was 6 feet in its full range. Two high pressure horizontal en- gines were to do the work. Each cylin- der had a piston rod running through each end connected with the plungers of force pumps having a stroke of 16 inches. At the top of each hydraulic press there was a small tube three cighths of an inch in diameter and connected with the force pumps. These two little tubes were the channels of the mighty power to litt the whole structure. Insignificant in appear- | perbaps exulting animal, with tail extended and | eyes glaring with fury throuzh the foam with \ which his whole face was covered, and his neck bowed so that his nose all but swept the ground, came rushing lo a certain victory. The young man had just time and no more, | to recover himself. He had regained his feet and drew them together, when the bull bound- ed over the ditch or rather rivulet—some water | from which caused Jones’ mishap—with a frantic leap, and was already tvo near him to_ allow of any hope of escape to the fence. He | had lost, however, none of his presence of mind, and boldly turning upon his pursuer, who had now raised his head, as he landed from his leap he threw himself upon the bull directly between his two horns, at the same time, inserting his two thumbs in the anima,’s nostri!s, with the remainder of his hand grasped him firmly by the skin of the lower jaw. The pain he was capable of inflicting by his strange position on the animal, caused it to bawl with agony, and his grip was so firm he could not displace him. The furious beast now seemed tamed, or at least reduced to the necessity of begging quar. ter, and either from the pain he was suffering, or from exhaustion from his laborious exercise, { \ | | he became quieted, and wandered or walked to | the fence, as if to offer a parley to his enemy. Reaching the fence, Jones, with a spring, threw himself uipon it, and escaped to the opposite side | without the slightest attempt on the part of bis late furious antagonist to molesthim. He was there joined by a number of individuals who | | had witnessed the greater part of the adventure, | iS, OAT COMPANY have pat on the River the new Steamer GOV.

Alter the engines commenced working and the small streams were rapidly forced into the tiny tubes, the mighty tube arose slowly but grandly into the air. At eve- ry six feet the engines were stopped and , the chains re-adjusted to the head of the ram and by a succession of such rises, the tube finally reached the desired elevation, 24 feet, and dangled in the air, as the play thing of the two hydraulic engines, and then it was laid upon its foundations as a monument of engineering skill unsurpass- ed in any age or country.

EARLY DISADVANTAGES, “TJearned grammar,” says William Cobbett, ‘“when IT was a private soldier on the pay of six pence a day. ‘The edge of my berth, or that ofmy guard bed, was my seat to study, in my lap was my writing table. I had no money te purchase candles or oil, in winter time it wa: rarely that L could get any light but that of the fire, and only my turn even of that. To buy a pen or sheet of paper, I was compelled to fore- | yo some portion of the food though in a state of half starvation.

New York, June 16, 1848. 27w9 Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla Pills, Are a strengthening Purgative and a Pu- rifying Tonic. S a whole nation has spoken enthusiastically of the unrivalled excellence of Dr. Le Roys Vegetabie Coaches, Barouches, Buggies, Sulkies, &c., | Universal Pills, it may seem useless to publish individu- whichiwillcbe tienosed ol onl ihe none fea sonable ternie: al certificates ; still we feel induced to yield to custom, by admitting the following ; the more willingly, asthey ema- nate from persons who are not likely to be misled, by the popular excitement which the appearance of those Pills has oceasioned. From the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines, we cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr. Le Roy’s much laud- ed discovery. His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without risk, or the advice of a physician ; for they produce evacuation without weakness, and cause energy in the digestive functions, without straining them, and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. , From the Lancet, August 23 , 1845. Dr. Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients, so as to produce a medicine at once tonic, and purgative, the only perfect discovery of the kind ever made, though a desideratum which the ablest physicians in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy, July 1, 1846. As far as we have had time to judge, both by hearsay and experience, Dr. Charles Le Roy has made a most valuable discovery, and added a purgative to the list of medicines which must take the precedence of all others, as being the safest and most effective. Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are the principal ingredients of his Pills. — We shall recur to them more particularly in our next number. For sale by Messrs. Brown & James, Salisbury ; J. P.

Hare they asked themselves, where the line of séperatints Is to take place? And have they cdntemplated the necessary conse- j 3 that would ensue 1 Wi is'a great mistake to suppose that all the States in which slavery exists, would Join a hern confederacy, would consent to a se- ace of the Union, for any thing short of a direct intAference with their domestic concerns. ‘Phe slave-bulding Siates which border upon the North, bave the strongest motives of interest to remain ia the Union ; or in case of its dissulu- tion, to adhere to the North. At present, the Constitution. and the Jaw of 1793, passed in pur- suance thereot, guarantee the restoration of fu- gitive slates, and the punishment of those who aid and abet in their escape, A dissolution of the Union would of course abrogate this law, and there would cease to be the least hindrance to immediate flight of every slave within a hundred miles of the border, This considera. tion appeals with great force to the people of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri.— For those States to dissolve the Union on ac- count of slavery, would be to jump out of the frying-pan into the fire. Besides, a large por- tion of each of them have far stronger attach. ments to the Union than tosiavery. It is well known that in Maryland, Kentucky and Mis- souri, a large party is rising up and daily in. creasing, which favors emancipation. ‘They would uf course oppose a dissolution of the Union, for any thing short of an infraction of State sovereignty. We hazard little in saying, that North Caro- lina and Tennessee would be very slow to ac- in the severance of the Union. .Any action of Congress touching the institution of slavery, as it exists within their borders, would arouse every heart, and nerve every arm to re- sistance—they are the Jast States in the Union that would submit to an invasion of Constitu- tional rights; but we apprehend that while Congressional! legislation keeps within the pale of the Constitution, as sanctioned by the Su. | preme Court and by precedent, they will never listen to disunion. A Southern confederacy without these States, or even with them, would take upon itself an immense responsibility. 1: would contain a domestic enemy nearly equal in numbers to the dominant race ; and with this element of weak- ness it would be opposed, as Mr. Rayner re- marked the other a by the moral sense of the eivilized world. Along the Northern border of this Southern eonfederacy, fur more than a thousand miles, would lie a country from which slavery would soon be eradicated, supposing it to contain some of the present slave States—and it is easy to foresee that a continual source of irritation would exist in the escape of slaves from the Southern to the Northern Union. Can it be doubted, with the bad feelings which would be engendered by the act of seperation itself, that war would result from this source? The very fact that both people speak the same language, would be a source of irritation. tured expression and every bitter paragraph, as has heen remarked by Dr. Channing, emanat. ing from one side, would be immediately seen and read on the other, and kindle a flame of re- sentment. In such a state of things, it would be natural for the weaker party to seek alliances with some European Siate—and doubtless England would be glad to signalize her magnanimity and disinterestedness, as she has done repeatedly in the East [ndies. the pacificator between heligerant Nabobs, she always manages to setile the dispute by annex. | ing them both to her dominions. In onr case, she would be satisfied with taking the Southern confederacy under her especial guardian-ship and protection. Can any one doubt it, who is acquainted wih | her power and her lust of dominion? But we torn from the heart-sickening contemplation of this condition of wardsbip, to another view of | the subject, A bond of union exists inthe length and course of the Mississippi river, binding as it does the free and slave States, by the strongest ties of interest.

ABOLITION IN THE SENATE. It will be seen from the following ex- tract from the proceedings of the Senate, that that body is not disposed, however much the House may be, to agitate the subject of Slavery. To it the people of the South may well look for protection against the insidious attempts of those fanatics of the North who, forgetful of the value of the Union or the rights of a large portion of it, are determined, let the con- sequences be what they may, to carry their point at all hazards. There is undoubtedly a better feeling on this subject in the House, since the proposition to abolish slavery in the Dis- trict of Columbia, was first introduced, and we trust that the Members of that body will calculate well the importance | of the step which the adoption of such a | resolution contemplates, before it is seri- | ously considered again: | Mr. Hale. I have a very large num- | ber of petitions numerously signed by wo- men of various sections of the country, praying Congress to “ adopt measures to prevent the extension of slavery, to with- draw the protection and cognizance given to the slave trade, and to suppress slavery effectually in those sections over whica Congress has jurisdiction.” ] move, sir, that the petitions be receiv- ed and referred to the committee for the District of Columbia, with instructions to report a bill abolishing slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Objections being made to the motion of Mr. Hale, some discussion took place on a point of order, in the course of which— Mr. Douglass said: I would ask what is the object of the petitioners? 1] would like to hear the petition read before I vo- ted upon it. Mr. Butler. pose of it. Mr. Hale. It is to prevent the intro- duction of slavery where it does not now exist; and wherever the Government has | jurisdiction to prevent the continuance of American slavery and the slave trade. Mr. King. Yes, in forts and arsenals, for instance. Mr. Uale. I have moved that it be re- ferred, and that the committee report a | bill abolishing slavery and the slave trade |in every place over which Congress has | jurisdiction. This is the design ot the pe- | titioners. | Mr. Westcott. I understand, then, that | its object is to abolish slavery in the Dis- | trict of Columbia. | Mr. Hale. It is to abolish it in every | place over which Congress has jurisdic- | tion.

Buch are some of the dangers and difficulties which can be easily foreseen as the jnevilable ences of a dissolution of the Union.— We have spoken plainly upon the subject, asa mere question of interest—that being the “ val. ue of the Union,” in the estimation of some per. sone, But we are aware that the American people are accustomed to cherish a sacred rev- erence fur the Union, which will listen to none of the grovelling suggestions of interest. ‘They | cherish it as the inestimable legacy of patriot fathers, whose wisdom and patriotism framed | it, as the only safeguard of liberty itself. But | we have thought fit to consider the question in | ite lowest point of view, and to show how es. | sentja! js the Union to the every-day interests of the people. We might show how intimately the welfare of the North is interwoven with the Union— and how {ts dissolution would be a death. blow te Northern prosperity, by cutting off 10 a con. Sidéralle extent, the domestic market, which is Worth more than all others. But addressing woteelves to Southern readers,-we leave the of enlarging on this branch of the subject ta bern men, who are interesied. lu a mere pecuniary point of view, we believe the North would suffer more than the South, provid. ed that peace could Le preseryed—but in the daca of war, the case would be different. e have presented the foregoing suggestions fo the peader, in view of the ste pects of the publie gind in some quarters, and the frequent threats of disanion, which are recklessly made potiticjans of the South Carolina schoo!.— title think of the magnitude of the cru. “pn which they have entered.

Short addresses were also de- |livered by Gen. Edney and Junius L. | Clemmons, Esq. The Register says, that “the remarks made by Judge Strange, upon the general subject of Interna! Improvements, and its | importance, must command the approba- tion of all who heard him. - Asa leading emocrat, we are highly gratified at the noble stand he has taken on this subject. We trust that his example will embolden others of the same party to pursue the same patriotic course, His appeal to his Democratic friends was made in good taste, and without the addition of a word calculated to stir up party feelings from the other side. He denounced the spirit of demagogue- ism which is always appealing to the ig- norant prejudices of the people, instead of disseminating information amongst them. Such creatures, no matter to what party they belong, are the worst enemies of the people—they would, if they could, keep them in ignorance and poverty to dooms- day, by the insane out-cry of Taxes, Tax- es! We are glad that intelligent Demo- crats have declared war apiinst this race of vermin, as intelligent Whigs have long since done. I]t is true that the Whig ranks are not free from them—they hang upon the skirts of the party, and clog its tree action, and prevent the effurts of enlight- ened mca to ameliorate the condition of sain either party: * | The specific plans of improvement re- commended by Judge Strange, are not al- together conformable to our views of things. We think that be attaches undue. importance to bis favorite idea of making Wilmington the focus of at the State.— That place has many natural advantages, and strong claims upon the patronage of the State ; but we think that it would be unwise to attempt to force the current of trade out of its natural channel, in order to build up a market at that place. * * * * * Judge 8. boldly recommends the bor- rowing of several millions, toimprove the condition of the State. In no other way, he justly remarks, can the improvements be made, and without them, there is not the faintest prospect of bettering the con- dition of the people. The tide of emigra- tion will continue to flow West, until the State will become a howling wilderness ; and the bear and the panther will roam, as in the primeval forest, over the fields and meadows which our people have wasted and deserted. This is no figure of speech. We believe that already bears have been seen of late years, in Counties of this State from which they had been driven by our fathers fifty years ago—we believe there is less arable land in North Carolina now, than there was fifteen or twenty years ago, at which time our pop- ulation began to emigrate in such vast numbers. Something must be done to improve the means of getting to market, or all hands will run away from a coun- try which is, to all practical intents, fur- ther from the markets of the Seaboard, than the States of the Mississippi valley.” It is to be hoped that something will be done by the Legislature. That body has now been in session about two months, and, as yet, no plan by which the State is to be raised from her present degraded condition, has been matured and sanc- tioned. And unless a more enlightened and liberal spirit actuates and governs the members, than has been exhibited, they had better adjourn and come home.— North Carolina is really behind every oth- er State in the Union, new or old, and un- til something is done, and that speedily too, must remain so. The people, generally, in this section of the State are alive to the subject, and when together, it forms the subject of conversation—is considered paramount to all other objects—not even the late strug- gle for the Presidency excited more in- terest. If this session of the Legislature is per- mitted to pass without devising some scheme for removing the many obstacles in the way of our people, it will be al- most a hopeless undertaking hereafter,— the people must remain here—and suffer all the inconveniences of getting toa mar- ket for their commodities, or move to some other State, where they will be better re- warded for theirlabor. Such must be the inevitable result of a failure on the part of the present Legislature to aid in build- ing Railroads and Turnpikes. PETERSBURG INTELLIGENCER. This sterling Whig paper has come out in an entire new dress. Success to it, for it is one of the best Whig papers in the Country. For news of the earliest dates, no paper is superior to it, and we look for it with more interest on mail days than any paper on our exchange list. (<r We have just this moment had our at. tention called to an article in the Standard, over the signature of Henry Walser, vindicating him. self for his vote given to John W. Ellis, for Judge. It deserves a notice from us, but the lateness of the hour will not permit us to do so to-day, as our paper is now ready for the press. ELECTION OF JUDGE. We have the pleasure of announcing to our readers, that the Hon. Wm. H. Bat- tle was yesterday elected, without any regular opposition, a Judge of the Supe- rior Court, in the place of Judge Moore, resigned. EXTRA SESSION. A proposition was introduced into the Senate yesterday, which will probably pass that body, providing that an extra session of the Legislature shall be called next Fall for the purpose of acting upon the subject of Internal Improvemeats. ADJOURNMENT. A proposition was also introduced in the Senate to adjourn sine die on Saturday week, which, if the extra session be agreed upon will probably be carried. A survey of the State of New Jersey is now being made, with the purpose of publishing a series of county maps.

Boren lyon a wrt ‘of error from Rhode Island. ‘The following points were ruled :— Zo That whether the new government at any time dis the charter government is a po- litical question, and not a judical one. . 2. That the charter government having al no time recognised the new govetnment, but de. nounced it as revolutionary and treasonable, and not only opposed it by, military force, but prosecuted and convicted Governor Dorr, the leader of the movement, under the criminal law of the State—in which case and in others the charter government was sustained by the courts of Rhode Island—and that the Federal courts, under an established rule of decision, fullow the State tribunals on questions arising under its own laws. 3. That the recognition of the chartered go- vernment by the President of the United States, in expressing a willingness to aid it, if neces- sary, in putting Gown the insurrection, by the power of the Union, as provided by the Cunsti- tution, is of itself conclusive on the Judicial power of the Union. 4. That the Legislature of Rhode Islund had power to establish martial law, and to author. ize the acts to be done complained of as a tres- pass by the plaintiff. 5. The judgment of the Circuit Court was affirmed, which sustains the chartered govern. ment. The opinion was able, clear, and conclusive, and received the entire concurrence of the Court, with the exception of Judge Woodbury, who dissented to the fourth point, and maintained that the State had no power to declare martial law, Intense Excitement in the Ohio Legislature— Both Ford and Weller declared Elected— Threats of Force—Conventron broke up in confusion. Cotumsvs, Jan. O—4 P. M. The Senate and House in Convention re-as- sembled this murning at 9 o’clock, pursuant to adjournment. Mr. Whiteman, from the committee appoin- ted yesterday to assist in counting the votes for Governor, attempted to read a report, sign. ed by six Democratic members of the commit. tee. The report rejected the vote of Lorain coun- ty on the ground of informality in sending the returns to the Capital—the seal of the county not being attached, as required by law, and de- clared Col. Weller (Demucrat) elected by 280 majority. The Speaker decided the report out of order. He said the committee was only appointed to assist him in counting the votes, and therefore had no right or power to make any report whatever. Great confusion prevailed in the convention for early an hour—the Speaker and Whig mem. bers calling to order. Mr. Whiteman declared his determination to be heard and have the report read, at all hazards.—Threats of force were exchanged by both parties. Finally, the Speaker, finding it impossible to restore order, agreed to permit the reading of the report, conditionally, that it be followed by resolutions for the appointment of a joint Committee to make a further examination in- to the matter. Mr. Whiteman made a speech two hours long, sustaining the report. The Speaker then arose and declared Sea. bury Ford elected Governor of Ohio. While thus engaged, Messrs Archibald, Whiteman and others, attempted to interrupt the Speaker with furious gestures, words and oaths, declaring that he had vivlated his oath of office. The Convention broke up amidst the most intense excitement. ‘The House was called to order, but imme. diately after took a recess. The Senators repaired to the Senate Cham. ber and soon afier edjourned. SECOND DESPATCH. Coxumesus, Jan. 9—9 P. M. The House proposition to appoint a joint com- mittee to examine the Governor’s vote, was laid on the table by a vote of 82 to 36. The Speaker again announced Mr. Ford as elected Governor of Ohio. Correspondence of the North American. W asuineTon, Jan. 7, 1849. The Committee of Ways and Means have had the project of a Home Depart. ment under consideration, and directed Mr. Vinton, the able chairman, to prepare a bill. He is now engaged in co!lecting the necessary materials, so as to bring the subject before the House with all the fa- vorable consideration to which it is just- ly entitled. ly embarrassed for want of a department, in which the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing statistics, could be inves- tigated with some sort of reliance. They are now scattered and confused through various subdivisions of the public service, and when compiled are almost necessarily inaccurate, from the manner in which they have to be collected. The projected im- provement would supply this want, and ina single year more than recompense, by its retrenchment of other expenses, for the outlay which would attend its estab- lishment. Responsible intimations have been giv- en out, that the State of Texas would re- linquish all claim to the territory of New Mexico on this side of the Rio Grande, if the government of the United S:ates would agree to assume the payment of her pub- lic debt, which is estimated to reach ten millions of dollars. The Committee on Foreign Relations, in the House have adopted a very convenient mode of disposing of Mr. Sevier’s nomi- nation, now before the Senate, by provi- ding that the Commissioners to run the boundary between the United States and Mexico, shall be selected from the corps of Topographical Engineéfs. The ex- Minister ought to be grateful to his Whig opponents, for relieving him from a very unpleasant dilemma. Intelligence has been received direct from Gen.

This may all be well enough, for aught that we know ; but are not the old Atlan- tic States as much entitled as any other members of the confederacy to an equi- table portion of these lands? If it is just and right to give them to the new States for these purposes, can it be wrong to give them to the old States for the same pur- poses? We need railroads, and canals, and educational funds, as well as others ; and shall we consent to let our entire pat- rimony be taken from us without retain- ing any portion of it for our own uses? North Carolina is a joint-tenant of these lands with the other States of this Union ; shall the joint-tenancy be destroyed by a partition amongst the others and she got no part whatever of the y? She once owned a large domain of rich and fertile land. She ceded it to the general Government for the benefit of all the States. Now she is poor and needy, and a reciprocation of her liberality would be most opportune to her necessities: yet common justice is denied to her! While others, who never gave any thing to the government, receive large donations of the public property, she gets nothing! Is this right? We deny that itis. We go for justice—for an equal participation of benefits: and if others, already enjoying the advantages of transportation by wa- ter, and Schools and Culleges in abund- ance, are to -have donations of public lands to secure a still greater augmenta- tion of these blessings amongst them, why may not North Carolina also have an oc- casional section set apart to endow her Colleges and open markets to her citizens ? We shoold like to hear from the Press on this subject. We should think that they would be equally as well employed in urg- ing the just claims of the State to a part of this great national estate as in squab- bling over party politics, that profit so few of them any thing.—N. C. Argus. ‘ — Presentation of a Sword.—On Monday the interesting ceremony of presenting a Sword to Lieut. Col. Gaston Meares took place. It was a Compliment froma num. ber of our citizens to a native of the town, who, as an officer of the Arkansas Caval- ry Regiment, did gallant service and won distinction in Mexico. The presentation was inade in front of the Bank of Cape Fear, to which place Col. Meares was es- corted by major General Marsteller and Staff and the Clarendon Horse Guards, all in uniform. Mr. William Hill, acting for the donors, delivered the Sword, ac- companying the act with an appropriate and well spoken address. On receiving it, Col. M. made a brief, though suitable acknowledgement of his gratitude for the approbatory token from the associates and friends of his early days. A large assem- blage was drawn together to witness the ceremony.— Wil. Chronicle. (> The substitute for the Steele Res- olutions were again before the House, on Thursday, and the scene of confusion that prevailed during their pendency, beggars all description.

MONS. VATTEMARE. This gentleman delivered a highly in- teresting Lecture, inthe Commons Hall, on Tuesday evening. His object in com- ing among us, is of the most disinterest-d and philanthropic character—it is simply this: he isthe agent of the French and other Governments of Europe, for effecting anexchange of the Historical Records, and other Literary productions of our country for those of others. North Caro- lina, for instance, publishes annually or biennially, its legislative Journals, its Gov- ernor’s Messages, with the accompanying Documents,and its Supreme Court Reports. ‘There are always on hand a number of volumes of these documenta, piled away on shelves, serving only as food for moths. In exchange for them, Mr. Vattemare will give the State as many volumes of the public records of different countries—that is to say, he will give as many volumes of different books, for the same number of the same book. Besides these public Records, Mr. Vat- temare is anxious to collect whatever per- tains to the history of the State ; and also, any books that may have been the produc- tions of North Carolinians ; for which he will exchange some of the rarest books extant—such as are only to be seen in the largest libraries of Europe. It would argue # deplorable state of barbarity among us, if this proposition of the distinguished Frenchman, were met by a niggardly and stupid parsimony. Besides the Lecture of Mr. V., several gentlemen of our own State, distinguish- ed for talents and attainments, were call- ed out and spoke with animation and force upon the importance of his mission. We regret that we are unable to give even a sketch of theirremarks. Messrs, Rayner. Stanly. Courts.

A motion to print the civil lit report was also discussed, but no conclusios was arrived at. The members of the House were, says our correspondent, deeply interested in the result. There was noreference made, nor discussion had on the slavery question, probably for the reason that the time for the report of the Com mittee appointed by the meeting of the South. ern members of Congress was near at band.

A bill has also passed the House, (176 to 39.) which grew out of the complaints against the Shakers.

Riches. | The first discovery of Gold in California ‘was miade by DON JOSE DALVEAR, an eminent Spanish Geolo- gist, Chemist, and Natura) Philosopher, by means of 2 newly invented Magnetic instrument, called The Goldometer, or Goldsecker’s Guide ! Signor D’Alvear has just arrived at New York, from the Gold regions of California, by way of Panama, Cha- gres, and New Orleans, bringing with him a very large quantity of Gold ore, valued at nearly one million of dollars, which he collected there, long before the exist- ence of the Gold mines became known to the residents of California generally. History of the Discovery. THOMAS DICKSON, TAILOR, OULD respecifully inform his old customers, that We ret TAILORING AND CUTTING BUSINESS at his old stand opposite J. & W. Murphy’s brick store, where he holds himself ready at all times to serve bis cus- tomers. - His prices will be found by those who may patronize him to Le lower than at any other shop inthe Town, his work durable and warranted to fit well. If not, call and get your money for your cloth again. T. Dickson returns his sincere thanks to his former pa- trons, and hopes by industry and application to business, that they will continue their attention to his shop ; also, invites those who have not yet come to him, to call and Signor D’Alvear went out to California nearly two | years ago, in consequence of certain information which | he had received of the geulogical character of that coun- | try, with the firm belief that vast mines of precious met- | als would be revealed there, upon careful investigation. He was encouraged to this enterprise, also, by his con- | fidence in the powers of a certain Magnetic instrument | which he had invented, called the “ Goldometer,” by | whose aid he expected to be directed at once to the , “Gold Placers,” if any such existed. Nor were hisex- | pectations disappointed. His scientific calculations proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the “ Goldometer,” fulfilled his high- | est hopes. In less than two months after reaching Cal- ifornia, ke strack upon one of the richest gold mines in | that country, upon an obscure branch of the Sacra- | mento river, in a gorge of hills extremely rocky and dif- ficult of access, and seldom visited by the native Califor- | nians. Disguising his object under the pretence of pure- ly scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and steadily pur- sued his task, collecting often more than $3,000 worth | of gold in a single day, which he concealed in a deep | ravine, without exciting any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of gold at Capt. Sutter’s Mill, when | the mountains were ransacked by gold seekers, and Sig- nor D’Alvear’s “ gold placer,” the richest in all Califor- nia, was beset with greedy adventurers. Jt is now found that the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the gor- ges of the mountains, and not in the beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving California, Signor D’ Alvear sold his instrument, the Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for $3,000. The person who purchased it confi- dently expected to make a handsome fortune, by simply finding “ gold placers” and selling out the right of dig- ging to the gold workers. Manufacture of the Goldometer, and publi- cation of the Guide. numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced the man- ufacture of his new Magnetic Instrument, the GOLD- OMETER, which he now offers for sale, in the United States, at the remarkably low price of ‘THREE DOL- LARS each, accompanied by full instructions for use, and a variety of Philosophical hints drawn from the an- cient and modern sciences, or the The art of finding Mines of Gold ! Silver, Platinum, Quicksilver, Coal, Iron, Copper, Lead, and other Mineral Riches, the whole being given in a publication called the Gold Seeker’s Guide ! This new work, and the GOLDOMETER, are both now ready for sale. The GOLDOMETER is 80 simple an instrument, that a child may Jearn to operate with it in five minutes. It is not affected by climate, or any other known cause, (except the natural magnet,) and will retain its power of pointing out mineral riches in the earth for any num- ber of years. By the aid of the Guide any person may use the instrument at once with perfect success. Farmers and Land Owners. Farmers and Land Owners throughout the United States, who have reason to suspect the existence of any kind of Mineral riches upon their lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity to test that fact, by the surest of all known tests, before the abundance of dis- coveries in all parts of the country shall have lessened this source of wealth in their estaze. Adventurers to California. Persons going to California cannot make a better in- vestment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which will not only be worth fifty times its value there, to sell xgain, but will be of inestimable worth to those who go in search of Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant experiment both in California and the United States. Testimonials. Signor D’Alvear does not deem it necessary to en- cumber this notice with a long list of testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLDOMETER, and GOLD SEEKER’S GUIDE. ‘The brilliant results of his la- bors in California, and the discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Island, by its use, are alone sufficient to stamp it as the greatest discovery of the age. Nothing but the extreme cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see it used for the benefit of mankind induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which he offers it-— Besides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly satisfied. The following Testimonials, in proof of the value of the Goldometer, selected from a great number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the present : Astor Hovse, New Yorks, Dec. 21, 1848. The undersigned, having this day witnessed the prac- tical operation of Signor Jose De Alvear’s newly inven- ted magnetic instrument, the Gotpomerer, feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the extraordinary power of de- tecting Mineral ores hidden beneath the surface of the earth, and have no doubt that it will prove an invalua- ble aid in the discovery of the Mineral resources of the United States and the world.

T. W. SHERMAN, o NO AGENTS. In consequence of the difficulty of finding faithful agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles of this | Nature are sent out for general sale, Signor D’ Alvear has determined to sell none of his works or instruments un- sired publication, or instrument, will be forwarded under his signature and seal, so that all doubt as to its genu- | ineness may be removed.

Slavery in the District of Columbia. It appears that many persons have mistaken the scope of Gott’s resolution, which recently passed the House of Represcntatives, it propos. es po change in the relation of master and slave, in the District, but simply to prohibit the im portation of slaves from the adjacent States.— | A considerable traffic in slaves bas for many years been carried on in Washington, by slave. traders, with the planters of Maryland and Vir- ginia ; and Gott’s resolution siinply proposes to put a stop to this trade. The same thing has been done by several slave States. The News- papers of Maryland and Delaware appear to take the matter very coolly, as the following exttacts will indicate :— The Delaware Gazetie remaiks :— * We have heretofore published something in reference to the resolution offered by Mr. | Gon, requiring the Committee on the District tu inquire into the expediency of prohibiting the slave trade in the District of Columbia. If we understand the resolution properly, it proposes no more than our State did several years ago, | and indeed no more than Maryland, and even Mississippi has done. can see no just reason for the spirit manifested by Seuthern members, and regard their action as unwarrantable and directly hostile to the spirit of our institutions.” The Baltimore Sun expresses the opinion that Congress has the “ sole disposition of the question of slavery in the District.” power to abolish slavery there ‘13 not in Con. ss, if does not exist at all.” The Sun continues, “to abolish slavery in the District without the consent of a majority of the resident white population, would be a | wanton exercise of that absolutism, with which | €ongress has been vested in its legislative re- Jation to the people of the District.” And says * for our own part we believe, it would be great. ly candueive tw the peace of ihe nation, ifslave. ry was abolished there, by their own consent and free will: always with a respectful reser. vation, having reference tothe servants of mem. bers and other persons from the slave States temporarily in the District.” The Baltimore American says :— % We have not the precise terms of the resoe | fution in mind, but if it is intended merely to prohibit the bringing of slaves into the District for purposes of sale, it proposes no more than what Maryland and Mississippi and other slave- holding States have done. ‘Ihe idea that Con. gress will interfere with the ordinary rights of she citizens of the District, in reference to their slaves is altogether imprabable, unless the citi. zens themse! ves, by their own vote, should re. quest a change in the existing relations be- tween master and servant.” Fugitive Slaves.—mr. Faulkner, in the Virginia Legislature, is urging the impor- tance of some determined action on the art of the State, in regard to fugitive | Slaves. He says the slave population in some sections of the State is rapidly thin- | ning out, especially since the recent legis- lation of Pennsylvania, proclaiming pro- section to all who may cross her borders. He estimates the yearly loss to the State, through the connivance of the laws of the meighboring States, at $60,000. The petrified turnip of the Cincinnati | paper, ahd the petrified neck piece of pork which accompanied it, have been over- topped with a still greater curiosity, by the London (Va) Whig, which SAYS: Post office when the mail came in’—(with the election returns from Pennsylvania.)

We answer, that in other way can our people be made to appreciate their true position in the social scale. It is not that others may see and deride | our poverty and backwardness, but that our own | citizens may see and strive to remove it, that | we make the exposure. | Let every man in North Carolina be told, | that we are behind the age—that we are be.

Are a strengthening Purgative and a Pu- rifying Tonic. S a whole nation has spoken enthusiasticall unrivalled excellence of Dr. £@ Roys Viectable Universal Pills, it may seem useless to publish individu- al certificates ; still we feel induced to yield to custom, by admitting the following ; the more willingly, as they ema- nate from persons who are not likely to be misled, by the popular excitement which the appearance of those Pills has occasioned. From the Medical Times, Sept. 18,1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines, we cannot be silent te the virtues of Dr. Le Roy’s much laud- ed discovery. His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without risk, or the advice of a physician ; for they produce evacuation without weakness, and cause energy in the digestive functions, without straining them, and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. From the Lancet, August 23, 1845. Dr. Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients, so as to produce a medicine at once tonic, and purgative, the only perfect discovery of the kind ever made, though a desideratum which the ablest physicians in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy, July 1, 1846. As far as we have had time to judge, both by hearsay and experience, Dr. Charles Le Roy has made a most valuable discovery, and added a purgative to the list of medicines which must take the precedence of all others, as being the safest and most effective. Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are the principal ingredients of his Pills — | We shall recur to them more particularly in our next number. For sale by Messrs. Brown & James, Salisbury ; J. P.

M. NOAB. The Misses Edraonson=—A . writer in the Tribune, in speaking. of the $2000 ‘raised to purchase the freedom of the two tyaller gals,”.asks—“ Who ever before Meard of such a single decd of piety, love and beneficence ?” - Ah! who indeed ever | heard-of $20U0 being raised for the bene- ! Wo colored girls, when hundreds as | as virtuous and as intelligent are’ Shout a friend or a dollar—nay, bun. 4 dreds and thousands of poor white girls : (if whete girls can find favor in these days ‘of black attachments) are toiling night. and day to earn an honest penny, without | a friend to raise a trifle toenable them to | parchase a cloak for winter? But this is pot all. There ismore humbug, more im. | sture, more donations required and so. | feted for the aforesaid “yaller gals.” The writer says they must be educated— «not in the degradution and drudgery of labor,” (certainly not! Who wishes to see a colored girl degraded by labor? It jsonly the white girl whom nature inten- ded for such low pursuits!) ‘but in its true divinity and manliness.” There’s a touch of the colored sublime for you! Well, Gerry Smith says he will give 850 to the education fund, and the writer pro poses that nine more should give an equal som, and eighteen more give $25 each, and thus make up another cool thousand to educate, in a refined and delicate man- ner, these two colored ladies. What next shall we hear ot in the shape of monstrous and most ridiculous folly ? Will the Rev. Dr. Cox and the Rev. Mr. Beecher, who have made such pathetic appeals in behalf of the two girls, visit the haunts of misery in their own parishes, and see how many poor chii!iren are with- out shoes—how many poor widows with. | out coals—how many sick without nour- | ishment-—how many shivering without. clothing? Will they count how many | hearts would have been made joyous— how many naked would have been clothed | —how many hungry would have been fed, | with the large sum of two thousand dol- lors? Would their Great Master, in whose footsteps they declare they walk, and who | was ever the true sympathizer and almo- , ner of the poor, have given two thousand | dollars to have purchased the freedom of two colored girls! He never would have done it A committee, however, is appointed to | take charge of the subscriptions to give the two Misses Edmonson a polite and | polished education ; and then—what then? Another raise must be made to marry them. We hope they will not be missing that no one will abduct them. They are dear girls, and must be vigilanly looked after and protected. A Case 1x Pointr.— Yesterday afternoon, | a girl about 16, another perhaps about 12 and a little boy of 5 or 6, opened the door of the office No. 5 Barclay street, and asked permission to warm their feet. The. girls were without shoes and stockings— | the doy had an old pair of trowsers on. The story they told was briefly that they lived at No, 12 Vandewater street, where they had neither food nor fire—that their father had gone to the railroad, and their mother had sent them out to beg for some- thing to eat. Here they were almost na- ked and starving in the midst of a Chris- tian community, at this inclement season. Would not a trifle of the $2,000 paid for the Misses Edmonson, have done some good to this starving family ? Improvement of Cape Fear and Deep Rivers.—The Report of the Engineer who recently surveyed these Rivers above this place, is aninteresting document. It will found on our first page. If it be trae—and we at least have no knowledge to controvert the Engineer's estimate,—that the sum of $185.000 will epen a good navigation from Wilmington 200 miles to the immense mines of Coal and Iron which are found on Deep River; that the head of that navigation will be Within 33 miles of the Valley of the Yad- kin, a region teeming with all the wealth With which a rich earth rewards the la- of an industrious people; and ex- tending by an easy navigation nearly 200 miles further to Wilkesborough ;—if this be true, should there be a moment’s hesi- lation in expending that amount, so paltry | in comparison to the objects to be attain- ed? Surely not. If such an object were inview in one of the Northern States, Millions would not be deemed too much to accomplish it. Some persons are of o; inion that this Work, if finished, would injure the trade of Fayetteville. Impossible ! That which tariches the whole region of the State With which we are connected by neigh- hood and trade, cannot well be injuri-— Sustous. A vast deal of the trade open- | ed by such navigation would necessarily Centre here. Such is our opinion, and if We thought otherwise, we are for no “ dog lathe manger” policy.

The bill_ introduced. by . ~ “ps “ Gen’l. Harrison: SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 25. 1 849. Abstract ef the Report of the Secre- tary of the Navy, for 1848. During the past year the St. Lawrence trigate, and Vermont, seventy-four, have been launched. The construction of four steamships of war, authorized by law, are in progress. The Saranac has been launched. The Powhatan, Susquehannah. and San Ja- cinto, may be launched next year. These war steamers are of the best models, the best materials, and the best construction. There are unfinished at the several na- vy-yards, four ‘seventy-fours and two fri- gates, In the Pacific there are two ships of the line, one razee, one frigate, four sloops, | and two storeships. Commodore T. Ap C. Jones commands the squadron. During the past year. the home squad. | ron consisted of one frigate, four sloops, nine steamers, seven schooners, four bomb vessels, and two storeships. There have been employed on the coast of Africa, three sloops and three brigs.— | Commodore Cooper sailed in the sloop | Yorktown in November, to relieve Com- modore Bolton, who commanded the Afri- can squadron. There have been employed in the Me- diterranean during the present year, un- der command of Commodore Read, one frigate, one sloop, one steamer, one schoo- ner, and one storeship. There have been employed on the coast of Brazil, under the command of Commo- dore Storer, one frigate, one brig, and one steamer. The sloop Plymouth, Captain Gedney, was despatched to the East Indies in March last, carrying out the Hon. Mr. Davis, Commissioner to China. In the month of September last, the fri- gate St. Lawrence was sent to the Baltic. The Secretary says: “ The condition in which our ships have returned from long cruises, under their services abroad, have afforded gratifying evidence of the high state of discipline in the navy.” The officers and men of the squadron acting against Mexico are complimented for their “ skill, and courage, and scrupu- lous regard to justice and humanity”— | their duties having been performed “with- out a stain on our national character, and without an act of extortion, cruelty, or oppression.” The Naval School at Annapolis (Mary- | land) is eulogized— its * beneficial effects being already sensibly felt.” It is expec- ted to “ produce for the navy the skill and knowledge which the Military Academy has produced for the army.” It is recommended that the “flags and other trophies taken by the navy from | public enemies in war” be sent to the Na- val School, there to remain. Dry Docks are to be constructed at Pen- sacola, Philadelphia, and Kittery—the first to cost $921,937; the 2d, $313,742; the 3d, $732,905—total, $2,468,584. The operations at the Observatory at. Washington have been attended with the | '* most valuable results ;’ among them is, the adjustment of chronometers and oth- er nautical instruments for the navy. Itis recommended that charts and a nautical almanac be published. It is believed that the various contracts for steam-packets will be complied with. | A steamer is to leave Panama for Oregon on the first of January, and it is expected, | that when a regular communication be- tween New York and Oregon is establish- ed, the passage will be made in 85 days. It is believed that a passage may be made by steamers from China to San Francisco in twenty days; and that in- telligence, passengers, and merchandise can be conveyed from China to Liverpool via New York, in one-half the time now required. The contractor for the line of steamers | from New York to Liverpool has two ves- sels ready to be launched, of 2,800 tons each ; and two others ready to be placed 'on the building ways. “That American hemp can be prepar- | ed in quality equal to any in the world has been established by experiments, under the most rigid tests.” The military contributions collected in the Gulf of Mexico at ports and places in the military occupation of the naval for- ces, amounted to $131,835. It is estimated that the expenses of the navy for the year ending the 30th June, 1850, including invalid and widows’ pen- sions, and the marine corps, will amount to $5,997.946 58. The aggregate amount expended in the two years ending on the 30th of June, 1848, was $21,598,661 18. ' “It gives me pleasure,” says the Secre- tary, “to bear testimony, as the result of my own experience, to the efficient organ- ization of the Navy Department.” Besides all shire on the stocks, in ordi- nary, undergoing repairs, or in commis- sion, navy-yards and their improvements, and lands held for naval purposes, the value of the public property on hand for naval purposes is estimated to be worth $9.400,370. It is proposed to create a bureau for or- dering and detailing officers for service, | to superintend ‘enlistments, discharges, | &c.; these duties now “ occupying too. large a portion of the Secretary’s time.” he A recised book of regulations for the navy is véry much wantedl.” The appointment: of a smal! number of assistant pursers is recommended. . Weckly Globe. THE. NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. It is with deep regret that we annotnce the defeat in the Senate, of the North Carolina Cen. | tra] Railroad bill, on Saturday last. ‘The hopes that had dawned have been blasted ; and unless, upon the reconsideration which has been agreed \o, something is done, the State may bid a long farewell to every prospect of improvement or | | prosperity. | _ We have expressed the hope heretofore, that | _the scheme suggested by Guv. Graham, would | | harmonize all interests. It is the beginning of | /a general system; the back-bone to which ev. | ery improvement in every corner of the State | | may be attached. It would eross Deep River | | at or neara point to which slack-water naviga. | | tion may be carried—it may be pushed East. | ward to the Ocean at Beaufort, intersecting with | | the Wilmington Railroad, and passing Newbern. | | It may be extended West to the foot of the | | Mountains, if it may not scale them—and late. | ral Roads may radiate from it, at convenient points, so as to make it accessible to the peo. | | ple in every quarter. We cannot conceive of | a more Jiberal design—one. less sectional in its | | ot jects or in the benefits it will confer. It is true that the bill before the Legislature | | makes no provisions for any thing beyond the extension of the Raleigh and Gaston Road to | _ Charlotte—but “ Rome was not built in a day.” | Let us do what we may now, and ata future | day, when the State is more able, it can com. | plete the system. If the present Legislature | | will do its duty, succeeding ones will have less todo. If what is now proposed had been done ten years ago, the foundation would not now ‘have to be laid. But preceding Legislatures have acted on the miserable, parsimonious max. |ims which we fear govern too many now—or _ by the same sectional jealousy which paralyzes the energies of the State. | Will the Legislature adjourn leaving the State prostrate 7? Will they do nothing to gal- vanize the industry and enterprise of the peo. ple? Can the members face their constituents | with the wretched recitals of their sectional brawls? Are they afraid of taxing the people ? | Are they afraid of laying a tax of six or eight cents upon the hundred doliars worth of proper- ty, while, as was demonstrated by Mr. Tuns.- tall, the other evening, they refuse to repeal the | transportation tax, amounting often to two hun. | | dred per cent! He showed that it costs the | | people ofthe mountain regions from two to three | _ bushels of wheat or potatoes to send one to mare | ket—and that this enormous tax can only be _ repealed byestablishing Internal Improvements. | Mark it! the people of North Carolina will hold their representatives to a strict accounta. | bility for the maintenance of this tax.—Raleigh | | Register. Mr. Courts and “ Division of the Question.” | It was amusing on Thursday night, when the | | ** Steele trap” resolutions were under discussion, _to see how some of the Democracy were trou- | bled by some amendments Mr. Stanly offered. | | ‘They were unwilling to allow the question to be fairly decided, and wished to take the ques- | tion first on striking out, so as to make those | Who voted for striking out, appear opposed to ‘the resolution as it then stood. In the * noise _and confusion” produced by some cf these votes, Mr. Courts seemed to have lost his balance.— | Inthe 4th resolution, Mr. Jones, of Rowan, moved to strike oul the words “against the meaning and,” so as to make the resolution read, against the spirit ofthe Constitution. Mr. Courts, with great solemnity, demanded a “ di- | vision of the question!” Mr. Stanly asked him | what there was to divide? Mr. Courts looked round, and wrapped his cloak about his shoul- ders—a little while afierwards, Mr. Courts with. drew his motion !!!—Raleigh Register. INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES. Mr. Vattermare, Agent of the French Cham. ber of Deputies, arrived in this City on Thurs. day last. ‘The object of this distinguished French | gentleman, in visiling the several States and soliciting Legislative opinion, is to introduce and perfect a system of literary and historical] exchanges between France and other nations. His reception in the various places which he | has visited, has been most favorable and flatter. ing—and we hope that our Legislature will cor. | dially receive him, not only in view of the great good which he designs, but also of his reputa- | tion as a man and a scholar. Mr. Vattermare, we learn, will delivera lec- ture explanatory, &c., of his plans, inthe Com- mons Hall, on this (Tuesday) evening. Raleigh Register. CHOLERA PROTECTOR. This is a new galvanic belt invented by Mr. | Chas. Rodgers of Jefferson, Wisconsin, and the difference between it and the galvanic rings is The invention is the perceptible at a glance. result of practical experience during an exten- sive practice of 16 years in various parts of the world, and it 1s based upon sound reason—no guess work about it. Our readers may remem- ber that the presence/of cholera in St. Peters- burg and other places was accompanied with a | diminished quantity of electricity in the atmos. | phere; this fact has been corroborated by the | experience of the inventor. Now it is a well | known fact that between our nervous system | and electricity, there is a mysterious connec. tion. This belt is to wear round the body to generate and impart to the system the desired quantity of the galvanic fluid. The intention of the belt is to furnish a con- tinued flow of the fluid especially to the gang- lions of the sympathetic nerve and to the nerves of motion and sensation at their origin from the “spine. ‘This is accomplished by moisteping the pieces of felt with a weak acid solution. — The ; conducting chain is far superior fo a wire or ring as it will conform to the motion of the hody and it is easy to wear and keeps the plates in contact with the skin. No galvanic like ' this has before’ been presented to the public.— It is constructed on the best principles and itis worthy of general attention. ‘Measures have been taken to seeere a patent. | ? j “ hard treatment” referred to. CHEROKEE LANDS. In the “ Standard” of January 34, there ap- peared an editorial upon this subject, which we intended to have commented on, but other mat- lers caused us to forget our purpose. The ar- ticle to which we have reference, is.as fullaws:— THE CHEROKEE LANDS, &c. In the course of Mr. Conner’s remarks in the Senate on Friday last, upon the bill to establish a ‘Turnpike Road from Salisbury to the Geor- | gia line, and setting apart the proceeds of the | sales of Cherokee lands for that purpose, heal. luded with much justice and force, as we think, to the hard treatment which the people of the extreme South-western Counties (Macon, Hay- wood, Cherokee, &c.) have received, from time totime, at the hands of our Legislature. In 1836, as Mr. Conner stated, our State received on de- posite from the General Government something like a million and a half of dollars in cash: and shortly afier that, with an abundance of money | on hand, with high prices and an inflated cur- rency, these lands were put into market—capi- talists were invited to come forward and bid for them—and the men of the West. with limited resources, and indeed with nothing beyond what they might produce by the labor ‘of their own hands, were thus compelled to purchase, at tates which have been extremely burdensome upon them from that day to this. This he con. sidered a peculiar hardship towards a most mer. | itorious class of our people—the honest pioneers of Western Carolina. We agree with Mr. Conner that these Wes. tern people have not been treated, by former Legislatures, with as much kindness and Itber- ality as they deserved; and we hope for the future a contrary course may be adopted.— Deal liberally by this people, and you not only present inducements which will prevent them from emigrating to other regions, but you in- vite emigrants from other States into their midst, and thus develope the resources of our own State. Now we shculd be glad that the “Standard” or its Senatorial prompter, would specify the Whatever Mr. Thomas, of Haywoud, Macon and Cherokee may have stated, we hardly think Mr. Hayes will join him in saying, these people have been “hardly” treated. We had thought that for. mer Whig Legislatures had dealt very kindly with the people of the ‘ extreme Southwestern Counties.” But what good can come of excit- ing in this Legislature a feeling of resentment against any measures which may benefit these people, by casting censure on those who were members of former Legislatures ? |“ Standard” agrees with Mr. Conner, and Mr. | Conner agreed with the Senator from Macon, _ Haywood and Cherokee, until he had a chance to vote for their relief And how “liberally -and kindly” did Mr. Conner deal then with these people? Did he show a willingness to relieve them from a peculiar hardship? Hear the proof: When the bill to enable the people of the West to build a Road from Salisbury to the West, came before the Senate—a bill for the reliet of the extreme ‘“South-western Coun. ties,” which Mr. Woodfin urged with ability and zeal—will it be believed that this same Mr. Conner, the friend, personal and political of Mr. Thomas, the Senator from these oppressed South-western Counties, when called on to vote for the very bill ‘to establish a Turnpike Road from Salisbury to the Georgia line,” &c., re. ferred to by the “ Standard”—yes, this same Mr. Conner—voted against the bill. This is a fair specimen of Locofocu profes. sion and Locofoco friendship fur the people of the oppressed South-western Counties! ‘They will understand and rememberthis. Mr. Hayes, | we hope, will remember it. Mr. Conner op- posed the bill too, (let it be known) because the Road did not pass by Beattie’s Ford—or, in other words—right through one of his plan. tations ! !— Raleigh Register. THE RESOLUTIONS. ee We regret to say that the substitute for Mr. Steele’s resolutions, is stil] from day to day con- suming the time of the House of Commons.— | The pertinacity with which the Democratic par- ty have held on to them, shows that their sole | | object is to make pulitical capital out of them. “It is known that several leading Whigs in the House cannot! vote for the fourth resolution in its present shape, while a slight change of phra- ' seology would enable them to vote for the sub- stantial part of it. ‘They are willing to vote for that portion of it which denies the justice of Congressional prohibition of slavery in the Ter- ritories, but believing such prohibition within the letter of the Constitution, they cannot, as men of honor, declare the contrary. The two questions of injustice and unconsti- ' stutionality are so blended in the fourth resolu- tion, that they cannot, in parliamentary phrase, be divided ; the resolution running substantial- ly thus: “that the exercise of such a power would not only be gross wrong, but also contra- ry to the true meaning and spirit of the Consti- ‘tution, and contrary to the intention of its fra- mers.” It is evident that the two clauses are so interwoven as to be inseparable, without des- troying the sense ; and for this reason, Mr. Stanly has labored to amend the resolution by a simple change of phraseology, which would render the question divisible. But his efforts have been in vain. ‘The party drill is so tho- rough on the Democratic side, that the least hint or intimation from their leaders is sufficient to bring every man into line. A ludicrous il- lustratiug of this weakness was exhibited in the early part of the session, when the Steele reso- lutionsswere-first discussed. Having voted.al- most unanimously, that Mr. Polk did yot violate the Constitution in sighing the Wilmot Proviso, and Mr. Dobbin among the rest, théy all as unanimously changed their votes at the prompt- ing Of that. gentleman. And the | Can the opinions of such men thus actuated, upon grave Constitutional questions, be expect- ed to have any weight with.the public? Can they expect to manufacture Constitution: Jaw for the nation, after such tergiversation !—an indecision betraying, not depravity, but weak. ness? The thing is absurd and ridiculous.— Upon the Democratic party will rest the re. sponsibility of this useless consumption of the | public time. It is a miserable party trick, an | effort to cram a set of South Carolina abstrac- | tions down the throats of members, on pain of | being. misunderstood and misrepresented. We | trust that the Whigs will not hesitate to perform | their duty—the people are too intelligent to be | the dupes of such legerdemain. Locofocoism | will be unable to make capital out of this ques. tion. The people cannot forget that this party | have at this very session voted that the Wilmot , Proviso is constitutional, though it is true, in the _ same breath, they changed their votes, and de. | clared the contrary. If any circumstance could be wanting to de- | monstrate the purpose of the locofocos to make | capital out of this most delicate question, it is the fact that they refused to accept Mr. Stanly’s | amendment, notwithstanding it contains an ad. | ditional clause condemning the recent abolition _movement in Congress, in reference to slavery /in the District of Columbia. Would not one | { | berland would snap at such an amendment 1— | Possessing as he professes to do, so much fer- _vid devotion to the South. is it not surprising that he will not join Mr. Stanly in reprobating | this movement? But no; he (with his party) thinks he sees the game entering the net, and _he will suffer no change to take place in his | _ arrangements, for fear of frightening it. But | it is too late. The whole question has been | discussed, and the people cannot be deceived as | to the motives of members who must conscien- | tiously vole against the resolution. We regret that we have been unable to fur- nish a full report of the debate which has done Mr. Stanly, who has successfully foiled his op- ponents in every encounter. and Satterthwaite, and others, have also, occa. sionally and ably, taken part in the debate, | though it has chiefly devolved on Mr. Stanly.— Raleigh Register. | Navigation of the Neuse River.—We | Were not a little surprised and gratified | to hear, through the Smithfield Telegrdph, that there were three Steam Boats at that | town at one time. Smithfield is only 25 | miles, by land, from Raleigh. A little more enterprize, and a little encourage- 'ment from the State, would probably en- able these boats to reach a point within 8 or 10 miles of the capital. | By the way, whilst in Raleigh we heard | a speech in the Commons by Mr. Stephen- /son, of Craven, in which he praised Mr. Dibble for having, as Mr. S. supposed. | built, a year or two ago, the first Steam Boat ever built in North Carolina. This | Was a very great mistake. The first Steam | Boat ever built in North Carolina, is the | Henrietta, which, though launched in the Cape Fear at this place as long ago as _ 1817, is yet ranning between this place and Wilmington, and is still one of the best and useful boats in the State. But besides the Henrietta, nearly a dozen oth- /er Steam Boats had been built in this. | place, and some in Wilmington, before the enterprizing gentleman mentioned by Mr. Stephenson came to North Carolina.— | Fayetteville Observer. | Southern Railroads.—The official re- port of the South Carolina Rail Road, for the six months ending 31st December last, shows an income during that half year only of $457.180 05—an increase over |the same period in 1847, of $153,152 57. , The profits for the month of December alone, were $70,155 81, of which produce down to Charleston paid $49,832 80. | The Reccipts of the Central Rail Road _of Georgia, for the past month, were $68,- '002 03—an increase over the receipts for December 1847 of $30.580 30—nearly double. The freights amounted to 860,- 656 41. These are important facts. They show that Rail Roads in the South canbe pros- _perous, and that, too. as produce Reads, for on these roads, five-sixths in one case, and three-fourths in the other, of the re- ceipts for the last month, were derived from goods and produce. These facts ought to have an effect up- . on the members of the North Carolina Legislature.— Fay. Observer.

The House of Commons, it is thought by many, will disagree tethis proposition ; and, after all, this Institition will probably be located at thé ‘séat of | Government. 2 | We are compelled to omit Monday’s | proceedings. Nothing, however, of gen- ‘eral importance was perfected in ejther |House. In the Senate, the bill to amend | the Common School Law was taken up, ‘and after having been torn pretty much “all to pieces,” by amendments and so:0n, | it was laid upon the table. In the,Gom- | mons, on the same day, the bill to*estab- lish a Medical Board in this State passed _its third reading by the casting vote of the | Speaker—Mr. Cad. Jones, jr. in the Chair. | The same body also rejected, on its second reading, by a vote of 54 to 49, the bill | making an appropriation for the improve- /ment of the Cape Fear and Deep Rivers. | The Resolutions reported by Mr. Dob- bin, on the subject of Slavery, are still _ before the Commons ; and on Monday fast Mr. Shepard introduced the same’ Resolt- tions into the Senate. He spoke of the | importance of passing them at.the . earli- 'est moment, and said be was prepared to | vote upon them at once. On his motion ‘they were made the order of the day for yesterday, at eleven o'clock. 7 No final action has yet been taken in the contested elections from Orange and ‘Surry. The Committee in the former cage | will doubtless report in the course of a few _days. The prevailing impression is ‘that Capt. Berry will retain his seat. There is much talk among: ‘the -mem- bers in regard to a called session, for the purpose of perfecting some general scheme of Internal Improvements. -The indiea> tions of public sentiment, in the course of a very few months after the adjournment, _will no doubt be of such a character as to enable Gov. Manly to judge correctly as tothe propriety of such a step; and indeed, if nothing should be done with the Raleigh and Gaston Read, and if no effi- cient measures are adopted to increase the State's income, an extra session will be the next thing to a necessary result. P.S. We have only room to add, that in the Senate on yesterday, the Resola- tions introduced by Mr. Shepard on. Mep- day, on the subject of Slavery, came up for consideration, and were advocated by that gentleman in an able andspower Speech. On the fourth Resolution, deny- ing to Congress the constitutional power ‘to legislate on the question of Slavery, the vote was, forty-foorin the affirmative, and two in the negative— Messrs. Albright and Daniel; and ‘Messrs. Gilmer soa Thompson of Bertie declining: to sote,— The other Resolutions passed unapimous- ly. On motion of Mr. Betheil, the rules were suspended, and the Resolutions were read a third time and passed, ; In the Commons, on yesterday, the vote by which the bill to establish a Medical Board in this State was passed, was fe- considered ; and then said bill was powt- poned indefinitely. The Cape Fear and Deep River bill was also re-considered, and laid on the table. ~ 7 - 7 - « c ° |.

The newspaper postage for the year was $767,334, being an increase of $124,- 174—19 per cent. and a fraction. The estimated surplus revenue of the Department on the 30th of June, 1849, is $428,336. On the first of July, 1845, the old debts due the Department amounted to $319,- 880. Of this sum there has been collect- ed within the year $10,809. Of the bal- ance it is supposed a large proportion will be lost. The present rates of postage afford ample means to meet the annual expen- vice. The number of paying letters which | passed through the Post Office for the year ending the 30th of June, 1847, is estima- ted at 52,153.480; for the last year at: 58,069,075 ; of which 14,303,753 paid at the rate of ten cents. The Postmaster General is of opinion that inland letter postage can be safely each letter weighing one-half ounce or, less ; foreign letters to pay fifteen cents. | | It is recommended to charge newspa- | pers according to weight—one cent per /ounce and for fractions under an ounce ; _all other printed matter of every kind to | be rated with double newspaper postage. | Letters containing articles of value to be ‘charged with triple letter postage. 'sand two hundred and seventy reduced to a uniform rate of five certs for New Hanover, for instance, is precisely equal; consequently each of these coun- ties receives precisely the same amount of school money. But look at the differ- ence in the numbers of their white popu- lation! The white population of Rowan exceeds that of New Hanover two thou- ve ; and 'the number of white children between the | ages of 5 and 20 years (the class for whose benefit the Literary Fund was in- tended) in Rowan exceeds the number in New Hanover eleven hundred and fifty. Pasquotank and Ashe have each nearly the same federal population, and receive nearly equal amounts of money—the for- mer having a little the advantage. Yet the white population of Ashe exceeds that of Pasquotank two thousand three hundred and sixty two, and the number of school children in Ashe exceeds the number in Pasquotank one thousand seventy four. Halifax and Rutherford (as it was in 1840) are nearly on the same footing in federal population and receipts of school money. Yet the white population of Ru- _therford, as it is put down in the census table, exceeds that of Halifax ten thousand two hundred and forty two, and exceeds in white school children four thousand three hundred and seventeen. Guilford county has a federal popula- tion of 18,117. The three counties of Carterret, Hyde and Onslow together have a population of 18,056, entitling them to an aggregate amount only some six or seven dollars less than Guilford. Yet these three counties have only 5044 white children, while Guilford has 6112—or one thousand and sixty eight children more to educate with the same amount of money. Guilford county does not receive as much under the present mode by more than five hundred dollars a year as she would if distribution were made accord- ing to white population. These illustrations are based upon the census of 1840: the inequality has been increasing ever since. | It is recommended that the franking | privilege be abolished, which is regarded | as “ indispensable,” should the proposed ‘redactions take place. From the sixth to the twelfth of August last, there passed ‘daily through the City post office at Wash- ington 5.078 pounds of free matter. Between the Ist of December and the Ist of October last, there were sent from the two Houses of Congress about five | | | _millions of copies of speeches and other | matter of weighing under two ounces, | and about one hundred and twenty-seven thousand public documents, besides the letters written by the members of the House of Representatives, and there re- mained to be forwarded more than one- half of the public documents ordered to be | printed at the last session. The Postmaster General suggests whe- | ther it be not well worthy of considera- tion that that officer should be appointed for a term of years, not to belong to the Cabinet, and not to be removable from) office, unless by impeachment; and that he should have the appointment of the term of years, and that they shall not be cient cause, to be reported to each session of the Senate.— Weekly Globe.

We find sycophants to that power in the West as well asin the East. Among the latter there is the excuse of self-interest. Among ‘the former there is no excuse at all.

FRENCH CONSTITUTIONS. The constitution recently established in France is the eleventh in the series of French constitutions since the meeting of the States General in 1789. Eleven con- stitutions within sixty years ! The first constitution. according to the list of the Courter des Etats Unis, is that of November, 1791. This was of short duration, and soon gave way to the con- stitutional Monarchy of Lovis XVI. The Constituent Assembly, in which Mirabeau figured, presented that as the final result of its labors. The acceptance of this constitution by the King was celebrated with great rejoicings. Harmony seemed re-established between King and People, and all promised well. Lafayette believ- ed that the great work was finished. Within a year afterwards a new con- stitution declared the abrogation of royal- ty and proclaimed the republic one and indivisible. Then followed the execution of the King and the reign of terror—that terrible epoch. France was then govern- ed by committees and clubs, ruled over by such men as Danton, Marat, and Ro- bespierre. The next constitution was that of 1795, or of the year III, according to the revo- lutionary idiom. By this constitution the Directory was established. On the thirteenth of December, 1799, or the year VIII, the Directory having been overthrown, an elective consular govern- ment was established, at the head of which was Napoleon Bonaparte. Three con- suls were elected for ten years. The sixth constitution, declaring a con- sulate for life, and fixing it in the person of Napoleon Bonaparte, was submitted to the people and decreed by the popular vote in 1802. Next came the empire in 1804. Here the republic disappears en- _tirely, and a hereditary government is es- peror of the French. Three several constitutions have marked | different periods since the restoration of | the Bourbons. One proncunced the de- cree of forfeiture against the Emperor, | and was but temporary in its duration. | Then followed the charter of Louis XVIII, It contin- | ued in force for sixteen years, when, in | 1830, the charter under which Lous Phil- | which was granted in 1814. lippe governed was established. Thus ten distinct constitutions have pre- ceded that of November, 1848. sixty years France has twice abrogated royalty, and twice it has been restored— | once in the person of Napoleon, and again | in the return of the Bourbons. to be noted that the royalty of Napoleon and that of the old regime are widely. different in the essential particular of their | origin. One was the creation of the peo- ple, who accepted the empire of their own free will; the other claimed to rule by right of inheritance. Napoleon, until he sought to ally himself with the House of Austria, and thus to claim affinity with the principle of Legitimacy, was in fact the representative of democracy, as de- mocracy existed in France. His whole career was one of warfare against the hereditary despotism of Europe, whic | France had mortally offended by casting | out her own hereditary despots. | The new constitution of France con- tains much that has been embodied be- |forg in her constitutions and decrees. | Whether these be any better guarantecs companied previous declarations of con- | by his brother. John Nelson, while onder | The circumstan. | stitutional principles, it is for those to say who can venture to speak with confidence on that point. One thing, however, is gained—gained beyond the risk of any and every contingency: France has vin- dicated the right to govern herself, with- | out the danger of having an expelled line | of Kings forced back upon her by the bay- onets of allied despots. The restoration of 1814 can never be repeated. The sov- ereigns of Europe have enough to do to maintain themselves on their own thrones. They cannot afford to undertake crusades abroad.— Balt.

A London correspondent of the New York Herald notices a new printing press which has been introduced into the Times Office, and which is capable of working 8000 impressions per hour, with a proba- bility that it will ultimately be increased to £12,000. Col. Hoe’s plan of building the types round a cylinder has been adopt- ed.—His cylinder revolves horizontally on its axis, Whilst that of the Times re- volves vertically, and is of considerable diameter. A gallery of some 25 feet di- ameter surrounds it, and 8 other cylinders, that impinage on the type or centre cylinder, and produce the impression in its revolution. In this gallery are eight corresponding feeding or “ putting on” ta- bles. The grand difficulty, which was at last overcome, was to change the bori- zontal position of that paper, as laid on the table, to the vertical one required to meet the faces of the type. This is ac- complished by an arrangement of tapes. The centre or type cylinder has a consid- erable space uncovered, which is devoted fo the inking apparatus, which imparts ink to rollers placed on the external frame, which they in their turn transfer to the face of the types. The vertical cylinder | was adopted that gravity might not ag- gravate the effects of centrifugal force. The forms weighs three quarters of a ton. Arrangements are made on the cylinder by which the rules or column brasses, which are levelled, are screwed to its face to secure the adhesion of the form. The speed seems small in comparison with that of Col. Hoe’s presses, though nothing can exceed the beauty and evenness of the impression. From the account given the idea seems to be conveyed that no hopes need be entertained of more than 12,000 copies an hour being produced. The machine is the work of Mr. Augus- tus Applegath, who made the old one, which has been in use for the last twen- ty years in Printing House Square. REMARLABLE PHENOMENON.

That those-who have berg harping so loudly on the subject, are just ly chargeable with a culpable neglect of! business of great importance to the inter: nal welfare of the State—and that it wag seized upon by the Locofeces to-advance party interests alone. Such has been ou opinion from the moment Mr. Steele intro duced his resolutions ; and_we were asto. ished that a member coming from sucha staunch Whig county as Richmond, would have been led away by the hue andey of South Carolina. Upon this questiowshe seems to think alone depends the perp tuity of the Union, and upon this questi alone does she advocate a Southern Con. vention, for the purpose of taking i consideration what should be done. Whe ther the South ought to secede and form a Southern Confederacy or not. All this, we are opposed to, and therefore depre- cate the introduction of any set of resolu- tions into our Legislature, whlch might in the least, create the impression abroad, that our hitherto calm and dispassionate manner of meeting such questions bad} given way for that bombastic style of ow more Southern neighbor.

Judging from the amount of money Hy & brought here to be invested in negroes, we should say the times are not, in reality,ss im ® hard as they are said to be; and espe- 5 cially when the prices, which were paid, !aretaken inthe account. We have beard but one universal complaint in relation! this sale, and that was, that the negroes “(the only property disposed of yet.) sold ‘too high. Some ascribe the bigh prices ‘to the rise in Cotton; others to the pre ‘liminary arrangements and the courteous gentlemanly bearing of the agent, Mr. Mallet ; but we ascribed them to the {sé that the sale, in the first place, was ad- | vertised in the Watchman; and in tbe second place, was eried by our Tows* man Mr. Samuen. Reeves; and we advise all persons having large estates to clos ‘up, just to get the Watchman and Mr. _ Reeves to work on them, and if the thing aint “done brown” it will be because | there is no money in the land. | > pi o au s t ke 2x e eo = | The Legislature.—The bill for laying of * new County by the name of Williams, cam ? as the special order of the night sessiv0 of House of Commons on the 16tb ins!aa!.

If he had selected. the columns of either of the Whig papers in Raleigh we should have seen his article earlier. Whatever may have been his true motive in voting for Mr. Bilis in preference to Judge Bat- | tle,—he saysit was a just one—the fact that he chooses the columns of an enemy's paper to make his defence, is of itself a circumstance well calculated to breed a doubt adverse to his professions; and to. give birth to suspicions involving mere charaéter than Mr. W. has to lose. e was Voted for by Whigs and by them lected Whig. What business then | oe be erearipent with Mr. Jno, W. Ellis” and Billy Holden—voting for the one, in preference to Witttam H. Barrie, aR sound Whig. and calling in requisition the aid of the other, to defend his unworthy conduct. We said before, and we now repeat it, that Henry Walser may think | himself exceedingly happy if he shall find himself able to satisfy his constituents that he did right in this matter. He may boast of making a defence in the Common’s Hall. which was not contradicted: his colleagues there, were not allowed to con- tradict a personal explanation, which alone Mr. Walser rose to make. His boastings therefore amount to nothing, unless it be in an exhibition of the trai- torous man seeking to hide behind false representations. For, as we understand it, members have the privilege of making personal explanations (and did not the Speaker decide that Mr. Walser’s “ de- fence” was such.) and no debate or con- tradiction is permitted to arise thereupon. And his boast of having given general satisfaction to both parties in the General Assembly and to all the papers of both parties, except the Watchman, is so ut- terly Ontrue that it is unworthy of contra- diction. But it is worthy of note that Mr. Wal- ser, or the writer of his “ defence,” seems not to think that the paragraph in the Watchman, was put forth by the Editors. | He is therefore fighting in the dark ; and to us, Who are the cause of all! his excite- ment, it is quite amusing to witness his struggles, plunges, thrusts, &c. It is ap- parent, however, that he is aiming his blows, at some innocent man,—some by. stander.—whose contempt or pitty alone saves Mr. W. the unpleasantness of a merited notice. Let him te thankful for his undeserved escape. ‘Ve learn that Mr. W's. likeness is set up as a target by some of his constituents at their shooting matches. Let Mr. W. congratulate him- self also, that this mark of displeasure is common, in such cases as his; and that in our country where protection is guar- antied to all, there is no danger that such manifestations will assume an attitude grave enough to give rise to the least ap- prehension for bis personal safety. } { A Man Overboard.—We perceive that our friends of the * Carolina Watchman,” have de- serted the Danville and Charlotte Railroad route, and are now ‘travelling’ the * Central Road.” Take care, gentlemen, your boiler don’t burst.— Milion Chronicle.

The meeting of Southern members of Congress, held last evening in the Senate Chamber, was attended by some eighty or ninety members. ‘The meeting refused o admit the press, by a vote of about 54 to 37. The address, prepared by Mr. Calhoun, was read, and was substantially as has been heretofore stated. The debate, on various motions, was continued until after 12 o'clock, in which Messrs. Clayton, Berrien, Tobdmbs, Jefferson Davis, McLane, Stephens, Rusk, Thompson, of Miss , Houston, and others, participated, it will be most unfortunate for the South that this meeting was ever held, if unanimity should not be final- lyetfected. That of last night was not as harmonious as was expected. In truth, there were some Northern save States, whose feelings might with propriety have They feel not the same identity of interest as those from more Southern States. On the introduction of the Teport, a motion was made by Mr Clayton to lay it on the cable, and take no fur- theracticn. It was made to test the feeling of the meet- Mg—the vote stood for it about 55, against it about 30. in favor of laying on the table were nearly all higs. The powerful objection to the report was made by Mr. Toombs, of Georgia. He thought Congressional @slation was necessary to authorize slavery in the new erritories. The doctrine of the report was that Con- gesg could neither extend nor resirict slavery. Mr. Foombs proposed no amendment, and it was evi- dent that he was opposed to any action by the meeting. He made no reply to a question propounded by Mr. paon, in reference to the action he would take if Congress refused to pass the necessary laws, or should enact the proviso. In reply to Mr. Toomb’s objection, Mr. Calhoun went ‘ato a short argument, to show that the South could take kept them from the meeting ir slaves into California and New Mexico, and that ' gress was bound, by the usual acts of legislation, to Protect this property.

Baton Rover, December 15, 1848, | Thave just made a visit tothe “White House,” | in which resides that zood old man we have se. | lected to bring about a much-needed refurm in the affairs at Washiugton. | found General Taylor not exactly in camp, but dwelling in a small house, of as humble pretensions as him. self, in the garrison here, General Taylor told me that he was already overwhelmed with applications fur office, so that it occupied all his time, not necessarily de. many of which are long and tedious, so that it 1s quite out of his power to give answers. * Besides,” says the General, “ [ am not yet | President, and, when I am, and, if it is wished to remove an incumbent, let it be shown that he does not answer the Jeffer. sonian standard fur an office-holder, and that the applicant does ; for, as far as lies in my power, T intend that all new appointments shall be of men honest and capable. move any man from offi@® because he voted against me, for that is a freeman’s privilege ; but such desecration of office and office patron- age as some of them have heen guilty of, to se- cure the election of the master whom they serv. ed as slaves, is degrading to the character of removal of friend or foe.” * The offices of the Government should be filled with men of all parties ; and, as I expect to find many of those now holding to be honest good nen, and as the new appointments will of course be Whigs, that will bring about this re- sult. discriminate removal, yet it grieves me to think that it will be necessary to require a great | many to give place to better.

Charlotte Journal. Mileage of Members of Congress.— Mr. Greely, of the New York Tribune, has produced quite an excitement in Con. gress by the exposure of the enormous abuses practised by the members in charg. ing mileage. It appears. that this abuse costs the Government sixty thousand dol- lars per annum. ‘The legal charge is of itself, an abuse, amounting to forty cents per mile, while the actual expense is not more than ten. By charging for a cir- cuitous route of travel, the honorables man- age to add to their aggregate incomes the handsome sum of $60.000. The official swindling should be put a stop to; and Mr. Greely will deserve the thanks of the nation for ferriting out the corruption. Another species of public plunder con- sists in charging for constructive mileage. is always a called session of the Senate to confirm nomination of new cabinet of. officers ; on such occasions, certain Sena- tors have been in the habit of imaginin _that in the second of time which separates the third from the fourth of March, they bave made a journey home an!

To mountains, ocean, stars and sun, My thoughts do often roll ; And until reason’s reign is done And death my fading life has won, These scenes will charm my soul. And thou, Old Year! though flown away, Upon the whirling hours ; And turn’d to night fair scenes of day, And planted graves with flow’rs ; On thee, and many scenes gone by, This mind will often dwell ; And menry will smile and sigh, At grief’s dark brow, and pleasure’s eye, And now, Old Year, farewell ! ‘tenanced” as © trifling enp it ‘nothing which ténds-to elevate men and women the ¢mploymen r winter are not among hte mai: : that all kinds of amusement "should be discoun- inyinents.~ ‘There is ecentige. v7 more than rationat and social amusement.

Tens of thou- | sands of dollars are now locked opin our agricultural districts ; one hundred here, five hundred there, doing nothing for the want of a favorable investment. lic that California can enjoy the brilliant possibilities of her future destiny. If the commerce of Asia is to cross the Pacific and enter the Caribbean or Mexican seas, it is the United States which must com. mand and protect the Isthmian gates ; or if, as may be the case, that commerce | Plank | should seek a still more advantageous toads will call forth sach means and set | highway by railroad across the Rocky it at work for the public good, and at the Mountains, it is clear that such a high- | York. The time is coming when most of | $87€ time give a fair return in interest. | Way never could, or would be built ex- the roads of the State and Union, where there is any considerable amount of tra- yel, and timber reasonable, will be plank- ed. Thus far every plank road made in this State has fally equalled, if not ex- ceeded, the expectation of its projectors. The fact that a pair of horses can with ease, and with increased speed, carry double weight on a plank road that they esn on the best common roads, without any other consideration, settles their val ve. When the roads are bad, as they usually are spring and fall, four times the weight can be taken on plank roads at such seasons that can be taken on com- mon roads. The farmer can go to mar- ket at all times when he cannot work his farm on account of the weather, or from other causes; and when other roads are impassable he can trot off with his pair of horses, and two tons weight, and re- turn (living some 15 or 20 miles distant from market) the same day; while with a bad road, taking the same weight, would require several days, besides great wear and tear of horses, and wagons, and har- ness; in fact leaving little return after deducting expenses. This is no fanciful calculation ; it has been fully proved.— This improvement will bring up the val- ve of farms within reach of markets, which have been greatly depressed by the low price of land atthe West. The con- venience of getting the produce of the farm to market, will enable the farmer of the East better to compete with the far- mer of the West, although the cost of land is so much less at the West: The expense of distant transportation will serve to con- firm the value of farms near the great markets. Our new States, until they have more money, should go to work construct- ing plank roads—they will for a long time answer the purpose of railroads, except onthe great and central thoroughfares. Michigan should be wide awake on the subject. A plank road is to be immediately built between the city of Schenectady and the village of Saratoga Springs, passing through the thriving village of Ballston Spa. If the materials can be procured in season, the calculation is to have the road built and ready in time for the pleasure trave! af the present year, so that travel- lers from all quarters of our land can car- ry home accounts of it. The press cannot be too diligent in call- ing public attention to these roads. At the South, where timber is cheap, and the common roads execrable, they will be of great value; indeed, in every part of our Union they can be constructed to great advantage—giving employment to the la- boring classes; increased value to real estate; and a good investment to stock- holders. It is an improvement beneficial toclasses. Some fear has been express- edthat the timber of the country would be exhausted by the rage for plank roads; bat such will not be the case. These roads will be constructed so asto lead to those districts where the timber is now ready, but of little or no value to any one, or the land on which it grows, on account of the expense of getting it to market.— These plank roads are about to open sour- ces of wealth to the northern part of this State, of more value to the public than the gold mines of California. It is found that very little grading is re- quired: one foot rise in from 12 to 16, ean easily be overcome with a pair of horses with two tons. If made perfectly level, advantage would be taken, and teams loaded with four or five tons would pass without any additional toil, carrying tweight too heavy for such aroad. Le- Gslation will be required to regulate the Weight of loads, so as to prevent imposi- lon. When these roads were first thought of, itwas supposed they would not answer ” account of the perishable nature of the Material used ; but it is now discovered that these roads wear out before they de- tay, and that while wearing out the in- tome is so great that they will afford 10 Percent. to the stockholder, (the maxi- mam rate allowed by law in the State of THE PALACE OF | the United States which must do all po- THE ELYSEE | litical theorists suppose that California is | Tuylor.—Our readers are aware that) |to do.

General the Count d’Ev- reux, Governor of the Royal Chateau of Monceaux. Madame de Pampadour, the infamous mistress of Louis X V., purchas- ed the palace from the Evreux family, and retained possession of it up to the period of her death in 1764. The Hotel d’Ev- reux, then passed into the hands of the financier Beaujon, who sold it, in 1786, to Louis XVI.

The-law which, in 1840, settled the Civil List of the ex-King, Louis Phil- | lipe, assigned the Elysee Bourbon as the residence of the ex Queen Ametie, in the event of her surviving her husband. The Elysee Bourbon is the last place inhabited by the Emperor Napoleon. It was here that he resided after the defeat of Water- loo, and it was there that a few days af. terward he abdicated in favor of the King of Rome. Up to the present moment the place has been one of the* lions” of Paris, and a sort of show place to strangers. It is entered from the Rue Faubourg St. Honore by a spacious quadrangular court yard.

These rooms are finished with some splendor, and are adorned with sev- | eral fine paintings. The garden at the rear of the palace, extends as far as the Champs Elysees. From the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper. CULTIVATION OF THE APPLE. This should not be neglected. The pro- per way is to select good grafted fruit, and plant it on a high piece of land, and to insure fruit, plant your tree but little deeper than it was in the nursery : because the tree will take root near the surface any how, and the stem will rot below where it takes root. If the roots have been cut much in taking up the tree, cut the top in proportion. I think the top should be set low to keep the wind from having too good achance to shake the tree. Trim well the tops when the tree comes into bearing, so that the sun and air can pass to keep the apples from be- ing knotty and from rotting. All water sprouts should be cut off, for all that goes into them is off of the body of the tree. Z. W. P. Mercer Co., Iil., 1848.

Taylor :— Mobile Adv. The Meeting of Mr. Clay and General face) has been sojourning in Natchez for | some days past. He arrived in this city yesterday in the steamboat Princess.— When the Princess stopped at Baton Rouge, the passengers, among whom was Mr. Clay, were all sitting at dinner. It happened that General Brooke and Col. _ Taylor were coming downto the city, and, concluding to take the Princess, they came aboard, accompanied by Gen. Tay- lor, As the General passed by the dinner table, he recognized Mr. Clay and bowed to him: but Mr. Clay, not appearing to recognize him, a gentleman at the table remarked, “ Mr. Clay, that is General Taylor.” | ‘Isit! ejaculated Mr. Clay, with sur- prize and pleasure in his countenance ; _and immediately leaving his dinner, walk- ed into the social hall, and with warm frankness and earnestness characterisic of him, extended his hand to the General, who grasped it very warmly, and shook it very energetically. |__* Why, General,” pleasantly remarked collection !” | “You can never grow out of mine,” was the ready response of the General, | whose countenance beamed with warm regard, and whose good-natured wrinkles almost obscured his bright and benevolent eyes. _ “congratulate you, General, upon your election to the Presidency, and I hope your _admiuistration may be as successful and glorious as your military career,” remark- _ed Mr. Clay. “T thank you, Mr. Clay ; President yet,—and ‘. but I am not eral’s modesty was about to get the better of him, broke in with some playful re- mark, which led to a general and most agreeable conversation between the two distinguished gentlemen. ing to interrupt so pleasant a reunion of _two old friends, detained the boat for some time. Finally, however, the General and Mr. Clay parted with expressions of mu- tual esteem, and a hope that they might soon meet again. We are not informed whether Mr. Clay resumed his dinner, which had been thus interrupted by the appearance of General Taylor—but if he did not and lost it—or if he did, and found it was cold, we think the circumstance might be reconciled with many similar events of much greater im- portance in his previous history. ner, but apparently no older than when, _more than a yearago, he participated with our citizensin celebrating the brilliant vic- | We trust | he may be warmly received by the peo-. tories of our arms in Mexico. ple.

The enterprise has been conducted with the greatest want of wisdom, and its success is much more doubtful than when it was commenced. M. Cabet Ic{t in the steamer on the 16th, to endeavor to retrieve the blunders of his subordinates. At the same time anew detachment of fifty persons has just sailed | ‘from Havre, to assist in the foundation of “Icaria.” It is to be hoped, for their sake ‘certainly, as well as for that of the four hundred persons already there, that the ‘efforts of their chief may be successful.” Fire.—From the Newbern Republican of the 17th inst., we learn that the Tur- | pentine Distillery belonging to Amos Wade | Esq., of Newbern. took fire on last Sat-: The distillery being con- | nected with several buildings, the whole were consumed, destroying some 5.000 barrels of turpentine and every thing | ‘properly belonging to the establishment The loss is estimated at. urday evening. place. in the nearly $15,000.

I have had in my hands several pieces of gold, about twenty-three carats fine, weighing from one to two pounds, and have it from good authority that pie- ces have been found weighing sixteen pounds. Indeed, 1 bave heard of speci- mens that weighed twenty five pounds. -There-are many men at the placer, who in June Jast had not‘one hundred dollars, w in possession of from five to twenty thousand, which they made by digging gold and trading with the Indians. Sev- eral, | believe, have more. A common calico shirt or even a silver dollar, has | been taken by an Indian for gold without regard to size ; and a half to one ounce of gold—say $8 to $16—is now considered the price of a shirt, while from three to | ten ounces is the price of a blanket. One hundred dollars a day for several days in succession, was and is considered a com- mon remuneration for the labor of a gold digger, though few work over a month at atime, as the fatigue is very great. From July to October, one-half of the gold- hunters have been afflicted either with the ague and fever, or the intermittent fever, and twenty days’ absence from the placer during those months is necessary to escape these diseases. There have not, however, been many fatal cases.—The gold is now sold, from the smallest imagi- nable price in size to pieces of one pound in weight, $16 per troy ounce for all the purposes of commerce; but those who are under the necessity: of raising coin to pay duties to the Government are obliged to accept from $10 to $11 per ounce. All the coin in California is likely to be lock- ed up in the custom house. as the last ta- riff of our Congress is in force here in re- gard to the receipt of money. * Could you know the value of the Cal- ifornia placer as I know it. you would think you had been instromental in ob- taining a most splendid purchase for our country, to put no other construction on the late treaty. ~The placer is known to be two or three hundred miles long ; and as discov- eries are constantly being made, it may prove 1,000 miles in length—in fact it is not counting the intermediate miles yet unexplored.

New Orteans, Jan. 24. P. M. Henry Clay, while walking out yester- day, accidentally slipped and fell; his head striking the pavement, producing quite a painful concussion. The venera- ble patriot was soon surrounded by friends who quickly picked him up and convey- ed him to hisresidence. He suffered con- siderable for some time, but I am glad to inform you that, at last accounts, he was fast recovering, and is not considered dan- gerously injured. His health otherwise is very fine. During the past week there were in this city only 130 deaths in all, of which but thirty were of cholera. Transmitted for the Baltimore American. . N. Orveans, Jan. 24, P. M.

It affords me pieasure to inform you that Mr. Clay has almost, if not entirely, recovered from the injury sustained by his fall on the 10th. The bruise on his head was painful at first, and produced consid- erable uneasiness for the result, but now all apprehensions are at an end, and he is enjoying good health. I learn upon the very best and most reliable authority, that Mr. Clay accepts the nomination of U.S. Senator, proffered him by the Legislature of Kentucky.

A Leaf from an-old@ Book. A fragment of an eld Book, without title page & date, fell into my hands a few days ago, from which | extract the following important information , concerning Indian Corn. The book appears to: be very anciem, and it need not seem strange that people in Europe should be ignorant, a long time ago, concerning tha valuable grain, when only last year the people of Eng. land had to be taught that it was fit for man as well a beast : “ Mays, or Turkey Corn, isa large grain almost round, something angular, and about the size of a commen pea. One species of it is yellow, another red, and third sort is colored like marble. The complesion of its skin is extremely varied: it affords a white end sometimes a yeilowish meal, and its taste is rendered agreeable by use. % It proves a good ingredient in Ragouts, and may be | made into bread and cakes. It ie customiary, likewise, | to boil it; and this is the manner in which the people of Asia and America prepare it, for their tables. This corn acquires a very jarge growth, and may be em ployed instead of the generality of lesser grains, usual- ly given to animals. It shoots out four, five, and some: times six stems, like reeds ; these rise about seven feet high, and contain a rich pith or syrup, from which a real sugar may be extracted. Each stem supports two or more spikes, four or five fingers in height, and which are enfolded in several large skins, almost as strong as parch- ment; by means of which the grainsare preserved from all homidity, and the depredations of birds. . Every spike is composed of eiglt sides or ranges, enchiof which por tains thirty grains: the whole eight yielg two hundred and forty ; the product, therefore, of one efem genert}ly exceeds seven hundred: and if we reekomav « ore (hen three stems, the grain they produce wil] ameunt to aber two thousand, and all these spring from the single graia that was planted in the Earth. : This prodigious fecundity, in conjunction with the beneficial qualities of the grain, has already induced the husbandman to plant it in several of our Southern Pro vinces: and they have derived sgréat. advantages from their labors, especially with rem their pooliry. The harvest of this corn ist ¥ much more abun- dant, but likewise more in. any other, and is goodness is more unimpaired by the generality of those distempers that prove destruétive to other grains.” Here are some things curious, and some things new to our Farn‘rs; that one grain of corn will produce several stalks, is certainly new. And that the wrieris speaking of our kind of corn is evident from a plate gi- en repreeenting the ear according to his description, with the “ several large skins,” enclosing it. g. CHEAPEST OF ALL.

The most important measure which has occupied the present session, is the pas- sage of the bill to incorporate a Company for the construction of a Rail Road, {rom Goidsborough, in the County of Wayne, via Raleigh, and thence by the most prac- ticable route, via Salisbury, to Charlotte. This road when completed, will give the producers of the West, the choice of all the markets in North Carolina, except Fayetteville ; and of all the markets of Virginia, and also of South Carolina.— endear the project to every citizen of North Carolina. Its completion will be new life, and an energy to which the State has ever been a stranger. By an amendment to the bill to incorporate the above Company, the late Stockholders of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road, and as many others as will associate with them, are declared to be a corporate body, on the conditions that they subscribe the sum of five hundred thousand dollars, for the purpose of putting the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road in complete order, with heavy T iron. If they will do this, one half of the ruad and its appendages, is to be conveyed to the Stockholders, and they are also released from all liability to the State on their bonds on account of the late Company.

The following is the letter :— Paturr House, Dec. 11, 1848. Gentlemen—Y our note of the 9th was territory, while the common property of the con- federacy. In reply to your second interrogato. ry, therefore, I feel equally free to say that it invalves only a questiun of public policy. The territories of California and New Mexi.- co are now free, under the fundamental Jaws which controlled them at the time of their ac. quisition by the United States, and consequent. ly, without the express sanction of ihe people who shall inhabit the territories when they as. sume the shape of sovereign States, slavery can. not exist within their limits as a legal institution. In my opinion, Congress, has not the power to introduce, or rather to establish slavery within those territories. If it is contended by any that such a power exists, I must confess that I am unable to discover the source from which it is diawn. A prohibitory act, as it could be only applicable to the territurial condition, and of ne. portance, stands next tothe Rail Road. Pass. ing through many of the fertile Western coun- ties of the State, it must become the great tho. roughfare of the Mountain productions seeking markets, either in the South or East. It | will be of incalculable benefit to those citizens of our State who have been all their life time hemmed io by the Mountains,—and effectually excluded from the trading world. The bill for the construction of a Plank Road fom Salisbury to Fayetteville, has also become a law, the State subscribing $80,000. ‘This work wil} succeed heyond all doubt, and we *® hope to see it pushed forward with all possible | despatch. Let the owners of saw mills be- tween here and Fayetteville, go immediately to | work and put their mills in tip-top order. ‘Take | out the old flutter wheels and pul in the Hotch. | kiss Verticals, and be ready, at short notice, to fl! large orders. | The fast Raleigh Register thus announces he passage of the Central Rail Road Bill in ibe Senate : GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY!

Upon all questions of this character, I have ever held my final action open and liable to the contro! of circumstances.

It might bring me directly in conflict with the duty of the representative to have ever | held as a cardinal point of political faith.— These instructions, to be binding, must be giv. en by a majority. Upon the subject involved, in all its bearings, should I be elected Senator for the ensuing term, I shall be governed by the instructions of the Legislature of Indiana, whose will it will be my bighest pleasure to carry out | in earnestness and good faith.

Judge O'Neal, of South Carolina, says :— What causes the angry passions of man torise above all restraint, and leads to deeds of blood ? ee The ardent spirits sold by legalized and lawful! retailers. Where occurs the homicides, the murders, which so often shock humanity? In grogsbonsandtaverns. Whathorridcry comes fron: yonder place of fashionable amusement, and from that other scene of startling orgies — | the death shriek of men stabbed to the heart by those who had lost reason and sense in the le- galized cup. Ob, dreadful, terrible traffic, which, | under Lax, sells that which makes a man a de- mon and @ murderer! And who benefits by | this accureedtrade ? Certainly not the commu. nity as a maas, for facts have shown that for every Collar received for licenses, five are paid away to sustain the drunkard pauper and to pun. ish the dreaken criminal. Individuals are not. benefitted. Experience exhibits the startling fact that the curse of the Prophets of old rests upon the dvuntard makers to this day. They do not prosper in their ‘“ baskets snd store,” nor do their families usually benefit by the morals of the trade ; while the husband and father of. ten beeomes—alas! how very often—his own destroyer. ‘ihe Judge stated, that in an expe. rieuce of 83 years as a Lawyer and Judge, he had found thai retailiog liquors was the cause of more crime in South Carolina than anything elee ; and this is confirmed by the experience of avery Judge in the jand.”—Charlesion Mer. oury., ”_—_— DESOLATIONS OF RUM. At the Monthly meeting this week, in the ‘Willson, from Western Africa, stated the appal- ling fact, that Rex, introduced by traders from America, England and France, was probably doing mouch more to depopulate and afflict that country, than even the slave trade, with all the bloody skirmishes in its train. It was a lead. ing article of trade with nearly all the vessels, especially from this country, visiting that re. gion. And as one tribe ufter another, on the coast, sunk down under its influence, others from the interior eame in to occupy their places, He said, those from the new tribes, coming in and seeing its degrading effects, would at first turn from the traders with abhorrence, and alse were artfully overcome by the temptation, | and in their turn ruined, | A short time before he left the coast. be wil. negsed the melancholy spectacle uften or twelve chiefé, visiting a véssel fur trade, all of whom were made drunk. Mr, Wilsun utged the propriety and impor. ianee of Christian merchan's engaging in the ! Aftican trade, as a means of introducing only wholesome articles, and spreading, through | their example, and otherwise, tbe Hessiags ‘of | civifization and pure religion,—thus aiding the Missionaries, while enriching themse!ves. Rev. Mr. Williams, from Canton said that opiuzn, furred upon the Chinese by traders from | Christian nations, was working among that peo. | ple mischiefs very similar to those inflicted by : rum upon the African race.

He then found that he had the same money to farm one quarter of the land as he had at first to farm the whole. began to ask himself a few questions, and set his wits to work how he was to make as much of one thousand acres. He then paid off his bailiff, who weighed twenty stones, rose with the lark in the long days and went to bed with the lamb—he got as much more werk done for | his money—he made his servants, laborers and horses move faster—broke from their snail’s pace—and found that the eye of the master quickened the pace of the servant.

A memorial a SPEECH OF MR. THOMPSON, Of Indiana, in the House of Representa- tives, Junuary 25, 1849. Mr. THOMPSON, of Indiana, was en- titled to the floor, and addressed the com. | mittee during the hour. He said he proposed to spend the brief hour allotted to him in the consideration of matters connected with the question of | slavery ; and he did this, he cou!d assure | the committee, with no little reluctance, for it was the first time in his life when he had entered upon such a discussion.— He did it, however, from the promptings of a conviction that he represented on this | floor a class of people who required at his | hands that upon all and every suitable. occasion he should endeavor, with what. | ever ability he might possess, to bring to | bear upon this great question which now | agitated the Union all the conservatism | and conciliation which he knew and be. | lieved that they felt. It needed not now, | be said, (for every body knew it.) that to | ingaige in censure and denunciation of one section of the Union against another, | was not only calculated to do no good, | but to do serious harm; to disturb the | harmony of that Union which had so long | been our security and our strength. The institution of slavery was one | which found its existence in this country | against the consent of our forefathers, in despite of the urgent remonstrances, the sppeals of every single one of the Amer- | ican colonies. It was found here at the commencement of that glorious Revolu- | tion which resulted in the establishment | of our Federai Constitution; and, at the | date of our Declaration of American In. | dependence, which on its face declared “that all men are created equal,” every | siagle one of the American colonies held, by virtue of existing laws, aright in slaves | as property, fixed and recognized by the | municipal legislation of each one of the nies The institution of slavery existed, there- fore, before the formation of the Articles | of Confederation, and before the forma- | was presented to this House, from the ‘State of Pennsylvania, in 1835-36, pray- ing Congress toabolish the slave trade and slavery in the District of Columbia. The question which arose at that time was on | |the reception of the memorial: a motion was made to lay it on the table, and a ve- ry large majority of the House of Repre- sentatives did lay that memorial on the table, by voting to lay the question of its reception on that table; and at the head of those who voted in the majority upon that occasion, stood the venerable and dis- tinguished gentleman from Massachusetts, who but the other day fell in this Hall, covered all over with national glory and renown. Men had not learned in that day to disregard the Constitution and the law ; men had not learned at that day to be continually attempting encroachments upon the rights of the States of this Un- ion, as fixed and guarantied under our Federal Constitution. This attempt was frowned down by the House of Representatives. But still the country was agitated ; and that agitation continued until about 1840, when these petitions were continually presenting themselves to the consideration of Con- gress; and when to get rid of them, sou- _thern gentlemen on this floor adopted the celebrated “twenty-first rule,” which de- | nied to the people of the North the right to petition Congress on the question of slavery. to meet. Immediately upon the adoption of the “twenty-first rule,” the question of the abolition of slavery in the District of | Columbia became a suspended question, and there was substituted in lieu of it, in the northern States, the question of the right of petition. The consideration of that question appealed so strongly to the feelings of the North, that a large propor- tion of northern citizens became accus- | tomed to act with the party which was the right of petition, and continued to act | _with them in detence of this great right, Here, two extremes were about | | plish their purpose. They were mistaken | 'in the Whig party of the North and the | | Democratic party of the North, neither | of whom sympathized inany degree what- /ever with the objects, purposes, or ulti- ‘mate designs of the political, fanatical _ abolitionists. The Presidential election over. this ses- sion of Congress commenced. What did | _we see? First, a proposition made upon | the floor of the House of Representatives | directly, unqualifiedly, to abolish slavery | in the District of Columbia, without the | consent of Maryland, without the consent of Virginia, without the consent of the | Slaveholders of the District. A direct at- this Government to do that which all good gress had neither the legal power to do, nor thatit was right that itshould be done. That resolution had been voted down by this House, but he was astonished to see wet it commanded so large a vote as it id. Next, they saw a proposition to submit to the people of the District of Columbia | the question as to whether slavery should | or should not exist here, and placing the negro man—even the slave of the Dis- trict—upon a par with the white man in determining the question whether the slave’s bonds should be broken. A prop- osition thus to legislate needed but to be | stated to any portion of the American peo- ple to be repudiated, condemned, and spurned by that people. Next. they had before them a proposi- | tion to abolish the slave trade within the District of Columbia. He would remark, |there was a class of gentlemen on this | floor who had always denied to Congress | jurisdictionof the questionof slavery with- | ; waa a ae in the District of Columbia, or within the | pretation whereof is directly in jadgment lican government. | States ; | men of all parties had declared that Con- | with reference to this, that he had thought | | throughout Christendom, and a serious hinder. ance to the progress of republican liberty a- | mong the nations of the earth: therefore, “ Resolved, ‘That the Committee on the Dis. | _ trict of Columbia be instructed to report a bill, | as soon as practicable, prohibiting the slave | | trade in said District.” | He had voted against this resolution | | of the gentleman from New York, for the | , Teason, first, that it assumed that “ traffic | /now prosecuted in this metropolis of the | | Rapublic in human beings as chattels, is | ' contrary to natural justice and the funda- | /mental principles of our political system.” | , He did not recognize that as being true ;_ and this led him to the consideration of | | the question—whether, under our Feder- | /tempt to exercise the Federal power of | al Constitution and the compact between | the States, we were compelled to recog: | nize property as existing in the slaves of | ‘the South? He knew but one mode, un.- | der the Constitution and the law of this | country, to determine upon a question of law arising upon a conflict between the | States, or between the States and the Fed- | eral Government. In determining wheth- | er slaves were property, he was compell. | ed to look at the decisions of the Supreme | | Court of the United States, and nowhere | else : and he must express his surprise to | have heard, upon this floor, the doctrine | asserted, that under the Constitution of | the United States there was no recogni- | tion of the right of the slaveholder to his | |property. He did not intend to detain the | committee by reading at any length, but , he had before him the interpretation of | the clause of the Constitution—* No per. | son held to service or labor in one State,” | _&c.—bearing upon this subject, given by | | Judge Story. | | Story says, in the case of Prigg vs. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 16 Pe- | ‘ters, 61i: “ The last clause is that, the true inter. | tution which existed in one part of this extreme South who would not Vote to ‘e- | Union under the law of the sovereign, vive this law today.

Mr. Adams—as it were, almost pressed to the wall by his adversaries—was com- | pelled to declare and did declare what his own feelings were upon this very ques- tion on which the House had been com- weeks.

But the records of the House showed that twenty-six gentlemen of the Democratic party from the slave | States, representing slave constituents, | vote to order the main question, and force the House to a direct vote upon the ques- tion, against the earnest remonstrances and direct vote of twenty-eight Whigs and | ten Democrats from the slave States.

In the first y.Mething is more palpable than that the t Legislative action is novel, unexpected, **tlravagant, and contrary to the laws and nature ; an ingenious effort to att the People with idle baubles, and divert a wleation from their true welfare and na- : destiny, Who is there among us, who an. ted the passage of this “‘eromb of com. talled the “Central Rail Road ”—ques. 48 propriety, and with an insufficient ap. ap?

But it has lapsed—our trade is somhward or northward, and not the proposed Eastern’route. And all this scheme of Rail Roads is to come to a focus at Raleigh, our treasure wasted, and our property taxed to no purpose, but to cast us still deeper in the original chaos in which nature placed us. in a vain effort to make an emporium of an inland town with no natural advantages—no agricul. tural, manufacturing or mineral resources to sus- tain it ; and in fine, with the placard of its his. tory fixed in every North Carolinian’s mind, with the word written on it, and pointing to Ra. leigh—there is the scene of wasted millions— the monument of impractieal men, and like the Pyramids of Egypt, it stands on a bank of sand. And then comes up the chilling reflection of the past picture of the prospects of Western Caro. lina—humiliating enough to a patriot’s pride— and succeeding the foreshadowing of the future events of the present unwise and uunatural po. licy, if persisted in. The location of the Insane Hospital at Ra. leigh, is another evidence of indiscreet and il. liberal action and wanton disregard of good economy by the Eastern and Central influences of the State. "The Western part of the State is certainly entitled to some of the State buildings in Justice. and in a epirit of liberal and gener. ous division of Legislative favours, And more especially, when severalof the Western villages possessed equal, if not superior advantages in central location, cheapness of materials in the construction of the building, and above all, the superabundance of the means of subsistence, with health and fine water to season them.— And yet, afier having passed upon the several conflicting claims with reference to all these lo- cal advantages—and decidedly in favor of Lex- ington, in the Senate, by a large majority— which was sustained inthe House on its second reading, Raleigh politicians and central influ. ences succeed by artful and unfair means in re- considering its location, and depriving a Wes. tern village of the only State building ever ask- ed for by the rich, populous and large tax-pay- ing section of Western Carolina. ‘Think on this awhile, friends and fellow-citizens, and say whether the item of 25 per cent. saved in the materials and construction of the building, and as mich more in the annual expenses of this Institution deserve no consideration, or a recon. sideration, in legislative economy. Say, also, whether your members displayed a liberal and generous spirtt when the majority opinion was ascertained for Lexington among the Western Villages, in casting obstacles in the way which wrested it from the West ahogether. And will the letter writers in Greensboro’, whose talents and high social position onght at least to have commanded for them more prudence and discre. lion, feel approved in their own consciences, when they reflect to what a serious extent the minds of many of the members were prejudiced hy their representations, that the village of Lex. ington was a “grave yard’? Will they be re- minded, that in addition, perhaps, to some per- sonal gratitude te Davidson County, the citizens of Lexington subscribed a large sum for the Caldwell lustitute, once located there—one of whom. a liberal patron of all their schools, resist- ed with unyielding firmness its removal from that place in the Presbytery, when Raleigh and cen- tral influence cast the same false and ungener- ous imputation upon Greensboro, And Iastly, will one of said letter writers be informed that his letter as soon as received with such a charge by a prominent southeastern gentleman, was committed to the flames. Ob shame, where ia thy blush! In the conclusion of this branch of | our legislative review, it is but a just inference | from past appropriations to the State Capitol band the Deafand Dumb Asylum Building, this session, that similar additional appropriations will be asked for in future to complete the Hos. | pital at Raleigh. And will you, people of Wes. tern Carolina, remain silent and not call upon | your members to enter their protest against this | and similar injudicious expenditures at Raleigh ! | Are you prepared tamely to acquiesce in ail the I pause for a reply. | laws of this Legislature ?

We learn from Washington, that at no time while Gott’s resolution was onder consideration was there any uneasiness or excitement manifested, as one would suppose, from the manner in which some few Locofocos talked and ranted, but that all had an abiding confidence in the good sense and patriotism of the House, that nothing which would affect the rights of the South in any way could pass. The Calhoun Address to the people of the South is being published in a good many papers, without creating any sensa- tion. Well it may, for its object and au- thor are well known, and should sink into oblivion. The fact that only thirty-nine members out of one hundred and twenty. one from the South voted for it, is suffi- cient argument of itself against it. It is too long for oar columns. CHAGRES, PANAMA, &c. A correspondent of the New York Her- ald, writing from Panama on the 7th, gives a horrible account of the route from Chagresto Panama, and says that nothing short of life or death should bring any man on it. As toa female, he says it is out of the question. He says Chagres is a collection of a few hundred negro huts, with walls thatched with palm. A few turkey buzzards ornament each roof ; and when it ceases to rain, they spread them- selves out, in humble imitation of the spread eagle. It islow and swampy, and is the proper abode of pestilence. It rains ten times a day inthe dry season, and in the wet season, which lasts eight months in the year, he thinks it must be decidedly moist in those parts. No bread, no meat, no sugar, and no coffee are to be found, and an old hen sells for adollar. Cruces is no better, and the road between that point and Panama is nothing but a suc- cession of mud holes in which the mules delight to wallow. Several persons, a- mong the California emigrants, had died of virulent cholera morbus, resembling Asiatic cholera. At Panama, they thought themselves safe, and were waiting for the California with great impatience. [le gives the following advice to those fever- ish on the subject of going to California : Ist. Stay at home. 2d. It you gothere, take any other route but this. 3d. If you insist on crossing the Isthmus, bring but one trunk weighing not more than 125 Ibs. Also bring \ea’augar, hard bread, and ham enough to last yon from Chagres to Panama; brandy, to be used in moderation, do. 4th. Ten cent pieces, as many of them as you can get, for transportation. Eight of them pass for a dollar. The same paper says, that at last ac- counts, there was plenty to eat at Pana- ma. A correspondent says, that the in- troduction of Tobacco, even for transit, is strictly prohibited. Horse Drowned.—We understand that the wagon driver of Mrs. Hargrave, of Davidson county, in driving his team on Saturday night last, near the banks of Abbot’s Creek, not far from where it en- ters the Yadkin, in attempting to pass a very narrow road between the fence on one side and the creek on the other, was precipitated down the embankment some 15 1eet into the creek, wagon, team, and all. One of the horses were drowned, and the driver himself would have perished but was fortunately rescued by Mr. Holmes’ negroes who were near at hand. Rail Read Meeting. The Citizens of Rowan County will hold a public meeting to-day, for the purpose of deliberating about the Rail Road, and adopting such preliminary measures as will tend to awaken a proper public feeling on the subject. From the interest manifested by all we have seen, we feel assured that the meeting to-day will be well attended. Pestscript-—-3 e’cleck, P. M. We stop the press a moment to say that one of the most interesting Rail Road meetings imaginable has just closed. Such unanimity of sentiment, cordielity of feeling, and all tending to the glorious achievement of the Central Rail Road project, and the other schemes of improvement, we have never witnessed. We bave only room to say that the Hon. D. F. Caldwell, was President, A. Henderson, and others Vice Presidents ; and that we had a speech from J. A. Lillington, one from Jas. W. Osborne, Rufus Barringer, His Hon. Judge Ellis, J. L. Clemmons, B. Craige, H. C. Jones, and J. Clarke, all of which were truly bappy. Aamitied te Bail. We have omitted to notice that Sam’n. Casapo..ar, who killed John Richards, at Gold-Hifl, on the 30th December last, for which he was imprisoned, was brought before His Honor Juver Extis, under # writ of babes corpus, ang sfier hearing the evidenee the prisoper was admitted ta bail. and others interested: ‘that This ense, between the Bank of Ken- tucky‘and the Schuylkill Bank of Phila- deiphia, has been pending for the last ten years, and involves a ‘nillion and a quar- ter of dollars.- The cause of litigation grew out of the extensive frauds of Levis, the Cashier of the Schuylkill Bank, and agent in the transfer of the stock of the Kentucky Bank. If the decision be as above stated, it sweeps off the entire pro- perty of the Schuylkill Bank.— Nat. Jat. 07> The Charleston Courier says that a case of some importance has recently been decided by the Court of Ap— peals of South Carolina. The harbor master of Charleston levied one and a half cents per ton on the Wilmington mail steamers, which was paid from 1840 up to a recent period, when the company re- sisted and instituted a suit. The case was decided against the company by a lower court, but the Appeal Court revers- ed the decision and gave judgment for the company. $4 , SS T U L U L 2 Py °o canna MABBIBB.

There is little wonder that P esbyterianism has flourished in Scotland, when we take into consideration the cruel persecutions which were meted out to that sect in 1665. In look. ing over an interesting paper in Chambers’ Miscellany, we find the following account of the sad fate of a young Presbyterian minister named Hugh McKail :—Tbis young man’s con. stancy under his sufferings truly entitles him to the appellation of a martyr. He was licensed asa preacher of the gospel by the presbytery of Edinberg in the year 1661, when he was twenty years of age; but shortly afierwards, on the passiug of the Act of Conformity, he had | gone into exile on the continent. Returning | to Scotland in the year 1665, McKail lived ob. | scurely fur some time; but being in Galloway at the time of the Pentland rising, he joined it. | He was not present at the battle of Rullion “ Subtract from meetings amongst men, Each eve an hour for me ; Make me companion of your soul, As I may safely be: If you will read, U'll sit and work, Then think when you're away ; Less tedious I shal! find the time, Dear William, of your stay. “ A meet companion soon I'll be For e’en your studious hours ; And teacher of those little ones You call your cottage flowers ; And if we be not rich and great, We may be wise and kind, And as my heart can warm your heart, So may my mind your mind.” health, to leave the army during its march to Edinburgh. ‘Two days afierwards, he was ta- | ken ata place called Braid’s Craigs by some | dragoons, whom he met by chance.

The following is tbe article referred to :—Char. Courver. “It is ofien our ungracious task to rebuke the two extremes of Southern and Northern fa- naticism, and so expose ourselves to the two counteracting fires: but we have now a yet more ungracious task than ever, and that is to rebuke some of our own friends in the Leg- islature, for a disposition to violate the Consti- tutution of the United States in the matter of fugitive slaves. ‘The Federal Constitution or- dains that— - ; ‘No person held to service or Jabor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into an- other, shall in consequence of any Jaw or reg- ulation therein, be discharged from such ser- vice or labor; but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or la. bor may be due.’ “ But it is proposed in our State Legislature, and with a good deal of strength, too, to (in substance) impose a penalty of $1000 on any citizen or public officer in this State who shall attempt, or assist in attempting, to execute the above section of the Constitution, and the laws of Congress carrying out the same. “ We should be amazed that any two men of sane minds could disagree in pronouncing such a State act unconstitutional, did we not see dai- ly, from the different organization of men’s minds, great differences of opinion even in as clear matters as that.” [Here follows a sketch of the debate in the Senate. ] “If Congress has the power to pass the lawe compelling the surrender of fugitive slaves, it has power to prescribe the mude and means, and every act of a State Legislature that comes in conflict with these means, or that makes the exercise of them penal, is void. “SHALL BE DELIVERED UP,” are the words of the Consti- tution. Such a State Law would fine a New. York citizen or officer $1000 for assisting or aiding in the execution of an ordinance of Con. gress, or of the laws of Congress enacted un- der that ordinance. This is all sheer fanati- cism. “But as Mr, Johnson [whose remarks are published in the Express,] puts the case, such an act of unconstitutional wrong would be an actof bad neighborhood, and in a bad faith,h— and in utter violation of the spirit and intent of the framers of the Constitution, and of all its compromises. It is nulification, just as bad, in our opinion, av was the South Carolina nulifi- cation act of the Tariff, for that (like this) made penal, obedience to the Federal law, by State officers. “ No New-York Whig Legislature, we trust, will run into these extremes. as bad as the measure is wrong. The people that they will immediately see tha: it is carried inthe fear of * Free Soil” and “ Abolitionism” —and when the reaction comes, it will barm every one connected with it.” CURIOUS COSMETIC. The Rev. J. Williams, the well known and philanthropic Church Missionary, so long res. ident in the South Sea Islands, taught the na- tives to manufacture lime from the coral of their | shores. The powerful effect it produced upon _ them, andthe extraordinary uses to which they applied it, he thus facetiously described. Afier having laughed at the process of burn- ing, which they believed to be to cook the co- ral for food, what was their astonishment, when _in the morning, they found his cottage glitter. ing in the rising sun, white as snow. ‘They danced, they sung, they shouted, and screamed with joy. The whole Island was soon in a commotion, given up to wonder and curiosty, and the laughable scenes which ensued after they got possession of the brush and whitewash tub, baffle description. The bon ton immedi. ately voted it a cosmetic and kalydor, and su- perlatively happy did many a swarthy coquette consider herself could she but enhance her | charms by a dab of the white brush. And now | party spirit ran high, as it will do in more civ. ilized countries, as to who was not best enti- | | ted to preference. One party urged their su. | perior rank and riches; a second had got the | | brush, and were determined at all events to keep it; and a third tried to overturn the whole that they might obtain some of the sweepings. | They did not even scruple to rob each other of | the little share that some bad been so happy But soon new lime was pre- | pared, and in a week nota hut, a domestic bis skin painted with the most protesque fig. ures—not a pig but was similarly whitened, | and-even mothers might be seea in every di- rection, capering with extravagant gestures, and yelling with delight at the superior beauty of their white-washed infants. Public life in Missouri is attended with inconveniences not common to elevated stations. Gov. Edwards, in his farewell address, says almost every Governor has fallen before envy. malice and hatred.— The brief history he gives ot his predeces- sors is quite interesting. He says :— signed and left his post before his time ex- out, and not in good odor; the next com- mitted suicide a year in advance of the close of his four years; and the next has moved at all times prepared to meet the years out of the four of his administration.” Gov. Edwards may congratulate bim- self on going out of his office without bav- ing to be carried.— Philadelphia Ledger. Dec 21, 33 J. H. ENNISS. FY LAND DEEDS - Beautifully printed and for sale here.

The great effort will be to make. the coming Congressional Elections there turn upon this issue only. Now, just as Mr. Calhoun, after causing all this slavery agitation, mounts this sla- very hobby, so Mr. Van Buren, after be- ing “a Northern man with Southern prin- ciples,” mounted the anti-slavery hobby, and attempted through the agency of the Buffalo caucus to ride over us Whigs. | We beat him, though with Cass to boot; | and we have scarcely a doubt that as long | as the Southern Whigs stand up to “ the | Union,” they will beat such sectional agi- tations also. The position of these Southern Whigs, however, who are standing the test of this | sectional appeal upon a topic most exci- | ting in the South, too, and in which they | are probably more interested than the men who assail them, is one upon which we of the North ought to dwell with ad- miration of their patriotism.

May it not be, in State policy as in other things, that that is most prized which costs the most? And that consequently, to give North Carolina that place in the affections she should tax them, make them contrib- ute liberally to her support, and thus make them feel that they have an interest in her.

Whig. MR. THOMPSON OF INDIANA. The Whigs of this city well recollect the ad. mirahle speech of this gentleman, at the City Hall, upon the opening of the Presidential cam. paign last summer. It placed him at once, a mong the highest class of public speakers in ithe country—he seems by no means destined to Jose his lofty position. Tt could have been no ordinary speech, which could have extorted from the Washington Union, never very acute in discovering any thingto commend ina Whig speaker, such praise as this: MR. THOMPSON OF INDIANA. This gentleman addressed the House of Re- presentatives on Wednesday last, ina speech (published in the Gazette on Monday.) which we cannot wholly commend, nor yet seriously condemn. Mr. Thompson is a Whig, and re- presents a northern constituency, yet he mani- fested a liberal. a generous, conservative spir- it; which, if acted on in good faith by the men. bers of his party and his section of the confed- acy, would speedily adjust this snarling, agita- ting, territorial question. He did not. indeed discuss the Wilmot Proviso; yet if the same feeling should prevail generally which a por. tion of his remarks expressed, there would have been no Missouri contest, and free-soilism would never had entered the heads of men, for it would have found vo place in the hearts of men. We attach the more consequence to Mr. Thompson's speech, not only because of the generally liberal spirit whieh it breathed, but beeanse it came from Mer. Thompsen—a gen. Heman with whom we have ne personal ac. quaintance, but one who has distinguished bim- self during the Jast campaign as a stuinp chan- pion in favor of the Whig candidate— as one of the best speakers. indeed, in the House of Representatives. His speech on Wednesday last commanded the most respectful attention. It seized upon the House with an irresistable force, which nothing but its liberal sentiments, conveyed in eloquent Janguage—its © thoughts that breathed,” its * words that burned” —could have commanded. We heard only its beaati- ful perontion, and deeply did we regret that we lost asyllable of the speech. Every pulsation of our heart sympathized with the effusion. Mr. Thompsou is a native of Virginia, and is among the many mea of high talent, whoin the stagnation of enterprise in the Old Dominion has driven to other fands, to be an ornament to their newly adopted homes, and to be regret. ted hy their old mother, only when it is two late. Would that it could be otherwise ; that the inducements at home, could be sufficient to restrain the wandering propensities of youth ; and that Virginia could see the day when she could enjoy the fall benefits of her own pro ducts, whether of mind or of matter. A due attention to her internal condition by her leg. islaters, isthe best and indeed the only method to secure it.—Richmond Whig. Cure for Hydrophobia.— At Udina, in Fruite, a poor man lying onder the frightful torture of hydrophobia was cured with some draughts of pure vinegar, given him by mistake instead of another potion, A physician at Podura got in- telligence of this event at Uiina, and tried the same remedy upon a patient at the hospital, ad- ministering to him a pound of vinegar in the morning. another at noon, and the third at sun- set, and the man was speedily and perfectly cured.

Uatil this difficulty concerning the Treaty with Mexico be adjusted, all eff-ctive legislation concerning those territories would seem to be out of the question. — Nat. Int. THE PROTOCOL. The Union of ‘Tuesday the 6:h instant virtu. ally admits the authenticity of the Protecal al. leged by Mr. Stephens to have been signed by Messrs. Sevier and Clifford, by giving the fol- lowing clumsy explanation of it: * Messrs. Sevier and Clifford were sent to Mexico for the purpose among other duties, of explaining to the Mevican government the na. ture of the amendments made by the Senate to the dreaty of peace, ‘This treaty, with the amendments of the Senate, had been ratified by the President before their departure. Before their arrival at Queretaro, on the 25th of May. 1848. the treaty with the amendments of the Senate, had been approved both by the Senute and House of Deputies of Mexico. according to the forms of their constitution. Betore the Pre. sident of Mexico ratitied the treaty, it) was deemed necessary, to satisly Mexican seruples, that an explanation by our commissioners. in the form of a Protecol, on three points, ‘This explanation was made by the Protocol. * When the treaty reached Washington, on the 4th of July. 1848, the $3 000 000. the first instalment ander the treaty, had been paid; the IMockades of the Mexican ports had heen raised, and our troops had left the city of Mexico, and were fast evaenating the country. “Phe ratiti- | cations had been exchanged ov the 30th of May, | 1848. and the treaty was the supreme law of the land. Had the Protocol contained any -tip- ulation which violated the treaty, there could have been ne other remedy but to open a new negotiation with Mexico on the salject. “The President afier carefully examining the Proto. eol, found nothing in it whieh was net in con formity with the treaty, and therefore did not attempt to instizute any new negotiation.” The official editor tries hard to exense the President by making light ofthe Protocol, as a thing of no importance or validity. * A protocol (he says) is nothing more than a mere note from one minister to another, ora conversation reduced to writing, and ean have no effect whatever to altar or amend the terms of a treaty.” But asthe Baltimore Patriot well observes, if this view of the Onion be sonnd, and be hon. estly entertained, why does it say inthe extract we have made above, that if there had been “any stipulation in the protocol which violated the treaty, there would have been na other remedy but to open a new negotiation with Mexico on the subject (” The correepondent of the Philadelphia North American gives the following account of the manner io which the existence of the protucul hecame disclosed : “Tt is well ascertained here. that the discov. ery of this protocol was effected in the follow. ing manner. The Mexiran Minister—Louis De La Rosa—who negotiated the treaty on be. | half of his government, and whose name is ap- pended to the protocal, in a conversation with a citizen of Washington, cesually adverted to the protocol and spake of its effects in connec. tien with the treaty. Much surprise was exei- ted at this intelligence and upon eolicitation, a copy was furnished by Mr. Rosa. in the words of that incorporated in the resolutions offered hy Mr. Stephens. The fact was then commn-. nicated to a respectable member of Congresa, and in this way the subject was brought before the House of Representatives. “This diselos. ure has shocked all parties here—friends, as well az foes, of the present Administration.” A Novel Marriage.—A few days since. while the sleighing was fine, a party of ladies and gentlemen met at a hotel at) Kingsbridge. Presently, a gentleman came in, who was unknown to any of the company, and soon made himself espe- cially agreeable to a young lady, who seemed not the least displeased with his attentions. In short, he “ popped the ques. tion,” and she said “yes.” The genile- man sent for the parson, and soon made his inamorata “bone of his bone.” His name did not transpire at all, and the young lady's friends, no less than herself, were at a loss to know what name she was to go by. The newly-made wife did not like to ask so odd a question of her husband, and a whole day elapsed before she was made aware of what her new eognomen was. Our informant does not say what his name was.

The distance threngh this county, is about 18 miles and we are confident,no man by engaging to grade a mile of the Road will ever le. gret it.

As the read- ing progressed, it was soon discovered that each one Was attracted more by its remarkable style of composi- tion, than by its substance. ‘The assettion that “ no in- telligent citizen of North Carolina would approve any of the measures of the Legislature,’ was indeed very as- teending. The agonizing humility experienced by “Protest” in “reviewing” bills “ passed and rejected ”; and especially those ‘effecting (affecting) the interests @f the State,” and proving not real, but ‘ delusive ob- Macles” to future action, was well calculated to enlist our sympathies. The strange indifference of the Legis- | lature to the Agricultural Surveys of the State.” And above all, the sin of legislating ‘“ contrary to custom,” Were startling enough to be sure, and ought to have Made us serious ; but in spite of these solemn appeals to Ow gravity, euch one of the company seemed to be @reck only with the briiliant style of “ Protest.” When the reader come to this passage—‘‘ Where is the evidence of any Eastern interest in our marketable ilities, or any evidence of any appropriation for our bene fit prior to the movement which Western men made % obtain a mere paper charter,” it was asked what “Protest”? meant. One of the company answered that tr“ facilities " were not in the market. Another said he meant that our *‘ facilities’ were “ marketable” but was no evidence of an Eastern interest in them. was also asked what he imeant by a ‘“‘ mere paper tharter?” The reply was that he considered the Char- and Danville road as a visionary scheme, which Waa intended by its friends to exist only on paper. An- of the company contended that he meant that the Arter was asked :o0 be written on paper,and not on sheep 1.

Why ‘ dernier resort” means that the bantling had nothing else to eat vet the reply. Here is another idea said the reader.— Our trade is Southward and Northward, and not the route,” [ did'nt know the “ Eastern route” was fret considered a trade.

We are gratified to find such remarks as the following in the Raliegh ‘Standard’: * Neither party, of itself, it was well known, could carry through any leading State measure ; and as a large majority felt that something should be done to send the old State forward in the career of im- provement, so men of all parties came up to the work with the right spirit—and it was done. The foundation has been laid —the laws have been passed, and now for energy. discretion, labor! Let the lriends of State Improvements of both par- ties remember that a heavy responsibility rests upon them, and that much is expec- ted at their hands.” The Fayetteville “Carolinian” has doubts as to the success of the Central Road ; but indulges these remarks : “Tt will be seen that all the newspapers of the State, so far as they have come to hand, approve of the improvement mea- sures of the late session. We only hope that they may all stick to it, and not turn their tune to serve political ends. We are resolved not to do so. so far as we are shall be inclined to think of a certain say- ing, something like this: “the greatest rascal will cast the first stone.” We are sorry to hear the Carolinian ex- press any doubts as to the success of the Central Road.

We confess ourselves among those who par. ticipated in the feeling of disappointment at the failure of the Danville and Charlotte Railroad project. We did warmly favor that scheme— with the hope that it would be made the foun- dation and commencement of a general systein of improvement in North Carolina. But our Legislature has gone so far ahead of all pre. vious expectation, in laying out an extensive plan of improvements, all within our own State that, so far as our domestic welfare is concern. ~I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt (of your favor of the 2d inst., transmitting a Vol- ume of Manuseripts, copied from the British | Colonial Documents, procured and sent to you hy Mr. G.

Slavery is unquestionably the subject. of the most vital importance to the South and to the Union, and we therefore desire to keep our Readers advised of the gen- eral feeling and action uponit. The sub- joined resolutions may be considered we | in Kentucky. Stavery wy Kenrucky.—In the popular branch of the Kentucky Legislature on the 20th, Mr. Ewing offered the following joint resolutions, preceded by a preamble, which lay over one day: Be it enacted, &c. That, in the opinion of this Legislature the present agitation of the subject of emancipation is prema- ture and must result in evil, and only in evil. Resolved, That the only hope of re- lief to Kentucky trom the vast and ac. knowledged evils of slavery is in a long, gradual course of preparatory legislation in combination and in unison with private and voluntary effort and in the ultimate colonization of the black beyond the lim. | its of the United States, Resolved, That in view of the great curse of a free colored population to any community in which they are incorpora- ted, the early creation of a moderate sink- ing fund, with the purpose of assisting in getting rid of and colonizing the blacks now free, or such as hereafter become free in Kentucky, would be a wise, prodent, and laudable expenditure of money by the people of this Commonwealth. Resolved, That this great cause.in the magnitude of its interest, and in the diffi- culty of its accomplishment, is worthy of the exertion of the national energies. Ex.Gov. Seward has been elected a Senator of the United States Ly the Legislature of N. York for six years, from the 4th of March next. Drawback.—The Treasury Department has | issued a circular restoring the right of drawback on foreign merchandise exported from the Uni. | ted States to Chihuahua, in Mesico. ‘The trade by the overland route is large and of decided | value to the West. re have adopted :—sh hatically stirred (to declare their Independence of the Crown and | hia ironel el i ae | Government of Great Britain. the Oid North with a sharp stick, and by threat- | think a pretty fair index of the public mind ! | | | _what any individuals may see proper to | write, whether true or false. and we bear testimony that they do not desire injustice | i ‘ something—we owe her much, forthe measures ning to abstract the rich trade of our western counties, has forced us in a bold endeavor to do something for ourselves.

The connexion as a line of travel is not far dif. ‘ferent in length one from the other.—Greens. | boro’ Patriot We regret that our Lexington corres- pondent thought proper to make allusion to letter-writers from Greensborongh on the subject of the location of the Hospital —a matter which, by the way, we knew nothing about before. The people of Greensborough are not responsible for done to Lexington in any respect. Such allusions are calculated to provoke sharp controversy in which the public have no interest. and to engender had feeling be- tween villages; we therefore desire that the subject may rest where it is.

A-aumber of emigrants for California left Salem, Mas- sachusetts. The occasion called together a large num- ber of persons to see them off. At the moment of “ casting off” the quarter deck and sang a humorous ditty to the tune of Oh! Susannah! responded to with “three times three,” by the congregation on the wharf, when the barque “ filled away” and took her departure. The ditty concludes with the following verse: a tria of the passengers appeared upon which was T shall soon be in ‘ Francisco, And then [tl look all round, And when I see the gold lumps there, FH pick them off the ground. I'll scrape the mountains clean, my boys, Til drain the rivers dry, A ‘pocket full of rocks” being home, So, brothers, don’t you ery! Ob! California! That’s the land for me!

Those little kind attentions cheered his heart, and inspired bim with | fresh courage to baitle with the ills and obstacles of life. Years rolled round ; Providence led him along; he had reach- ed the legal protression; his hospitable host had died ; the cormarants that prey | on the substance of man had formed a conspiracy to get away from the widow herestates. She sent forthe nearest coun- sel to commit her cause to him, and that counsel proved to be the orphan boy years before welcomed and entertained by her and her deceased husband. The stimu- lus of a warm and tenacious gratitude was now added to that of the ordinary motives connected with the profession.— He undertook her cause with a will not easily to be resisted; he gained it; the widow’s estates were secured to her ; and | Mr. Stephens added, with an emphasis of | emotion thatsent hiselectricthrill through. | out the house, * that orphan boy stands be | | | \ That kind of eloquence which | in a natural and striking way takes hold | of the present, the visible, the tangible, | The lamp of life deny ?

THE DEATH OF MR. SEVIER. ELOQUENT REMARKS. The Rev. J. N. Maffirt is prenching at Little Rock, Ark., where the death of Mr. Sevier, (who concluded the Treaty of Peace with Mexico,) created a profound sensation. Mr. Maffirt, in the course of a sermon de- livered in the Methodist Church in that place, on the Sunday succeeding Mr. Sevier's death, thus.eloquently teferred to the melancholy fact : “ Strange are the teachings of Death! It starts up like a spectre, in the rosy fields of hniman life—breathes mildew on al! the flowers of love and happiness! The iron hand knoeks loud—startlins—awfnl, at the proud doors of thy domes of power.oh! Arkansas! Not on- ly at the cottages of the poor, but at the mansions of the rich, Death comes alike to al! !

The | Major states the cost of the temple at up- | wards of four hundred and fifty millions | |of pounds sterling—a sum hardly to be | ;compared with any single financial ac.) | count on record, except the national debt } i of Great Britain. | The ships sent by Solomon and Hiram | ,of Tyre for the gold and treasures of | | Ophir, required three years to make the | voyage, and as the locality of Ophir has | not been ascertained, and as the length of | the voyage would seem to correspond very | well with the distance to California, Ma-- | jor Noah therefore concludes that ancient.

Mr. -Boynton. in-a .sermor e preached at Cincinnati related the follew- | f ing incident : jee os ; to.redinguish bat part ]t was only eighteen months ago, that pe mporeninite Ws “ an Elder in a Charch io the State-of New +" © York, undertook to keep a very fespécta- | ble; Christian; holy, 'rumrseliing tavern. Public sentiment was: pressing upon. the business, and with the natural instinct of | iniquity, it began to sbrink away, from the light, and coneeal itselfin by-places. | The religious rumseller removed his tar, veof count.atithe bar off God be decided gold that . fie righ ai a %: from the front, and placed itin a back) room ; and even there, conscience com, | pelled him to put the bottles under a shelf , out of sight. He then spread a centre | table in the room, where the bar once, was, and laid on it a large and beautifal | copy of the Bible. | Thos, the front looked piously toward) the opposite direction. Here, the Elder walked daily, with “holy air ;” now directing a visitor to the | word of God, and now serving a custom- er from the article under the shelf, intro. ducing a man to the Lord, orthe devil, with equal politeness and equal satisfac- tion, charging the same price, as porter, whether he opened the gates of heaven or hell. Having occasion to converse with this man upon his course. one day, he appeal- ed to the word of God and walking, tri- umphantly, to the centre-table. opened his Bible, and turned to a text. “ There. he said, } would like to hear some minister preach from that.” He did hear a sermon from it. What influence it had upon him, isnot known ; but he soon after sold his ta- vern, and established himself upon a farm. He showed thatthere was some melancho- | ly deficiencies in the public sentiment of the Church, and some enormous wrong in | her rules, or practice cf discipline, that could not be reached. He was treading Christ, openly, under foot ; he set a devil's trap for souls, and baited it with the word of God; he was himself a tippler, and yet the Church could not touch him. She did what she could—she tried him on a charge of drunkenness, and failed and was compelled to give him an honorable dismission. Until the Church has the pow- er, and will, toshake such things from her, and does it; aye. does it: intemperance will reign in spite of every other effort. { { { { | | | { GRAND JURY PRESENTATION. We admire the boldness of the Grand Jury | | of Alleghany County, sitting at Pittsburg, in the | following presentation :— | The Grand Inquest do present that there are now two hundred and twenty licensed taverns within the county of Alleghany, including the two cities, besides a great many tippling-houses without license: many of these we have re. turned, but very many have eluded our research. There have been before us cases sbowing every degree of ingenuity aid boldness in the perpetration of crimes; charges of passing counterfeit bills, and for obtaining money under false pretences, where recklessness was made the cloak of the crime; but low as is the pic. ture of humon character, presented to us by the petty chief; mean as were the tints furnished tu that picture by the tricks of the vile swindler ; | bold and impudent as is the coloring imparted | by the dashing counterfeitor, and the daring | burglar; as a picture of humanity, we think, | in lowness, in meanness, in real hostility to | the welfare of the race, in impudent boldness | the grog-shop keepers surpassthem all.

[The Grand Jury then go on to complain that the license !aw, bad as it is, is not en- forced, but evaded by lying certificates: in proof of which they say :] We have known an habitual drunkard to ob. | tain, when applying for a license, a certificate | that he was a sober, temperate man. We, have known a man, while a maniac, under the public patronage. I. A. WITHERSPOON, | H. REYNOLDS. | = anes as ae P Childs & Cos. Oriental or Sovereign | Balm Pills Read the following from the Hon.

As corroborative of their views in this regard, your committee beg leave to re- mind the Council, that at the last session of the Legislature a charter was granted for the construction of a railroad from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river, a route confessedly the most eligible for so | important a work that could have been selected within the bounds of Wisconsin, and ample powers, privileges, and imma- nities conferred upon the company, to the full extent, we believe, that was asked by them; and yet. although more than a/ year has elapsed since they have been in| the full enjoyment of all they sought, so far as legislative sanction goes, in behalf |of an enterprise from which the coolest calculators concurred in anticipating a more certain success and a readier reali- zation of profits, than from any other which could be started in our midst, we have no. | tidings of stock subscribed, nor of ultimate | steps taken towards an organization of | the company under the charter. A know- ledge of these facts is a source of deep re- gret to all the friends of improvement in Wisconsin; and the more so, because the well-known character of the projectors of | this truly important work for talent, ener- gy. and public spirit, excludes all hope of | any more speedy accomplishment of the enterprise under other auspices, at this day. In view of these facts, therefore, your committee cherish the hope. that all who, have thoroughly investigated this matter | will concur in opinion with them, that a class of improved public thoroughfares, less costly in their construction and more practical for every duy’s use than RAIL— ROADS, is called for in all portions of our | Territory. Assuming such to be the sen- timent of the Council and of the commu- nity, we find our inquiry narrowed down to a choice between MACADAMIZ D AND PLANK ROADS. Believing they were not giving a wider | | 1 } Pry 1 H . e 1 5 | e e | scope to their investigations than the im- this subject and made themselves even. portance of the matter warranted, your “committee extended their inquiries to the prov.nces of Canada, and to all those por- value of plank and stone roads (macadam 'and stone we use aS synonymous terms.) | : 5 J me ) to the Wisconsin farmer than any inven- | | | partially acquainted with it, acknowledge | of Macadam road will make and main- *ain nearly four miles of plank road—the expenditures on the former averaging a- latter ought oftener to fall short than ex- ceed $2,000 per mile. the New York Senate declares, that “ ex- perience proves, that a plank road over the same line with a Macadam one, can be built and maintained for less than the interest on the cost of the Macadam one, added to its yearly required repairs.” Canada, eight feet in width of a Macad- am road was taken up, to make room for a plank track ; and “ men who have tra- | veled over the best roads in England, say there is not as good a road in Great Brit ‘ain as the Salina plank road.” In Canada |it has been tested by actual experiment, that the adoption of plank in lieu of bro- effected a saving of an amount sufficient _to replank the road every three years, that “no stone road in a clay soil can stand in that climate, unless it rests upon enough to protect it from the frost.” repairs.” A report from certain road com- missioners to the Canadian Board of Pub. lic Works, shows thatthe cost of one mile bout $6.220 per mile. while those on the And the report to In ken stone as the covering of a road, has whereas the same planking will ordinari- ly last forten years.

On this road, even after some pertion of | the plank had become entirely worn | through, the very beasts of burden instinc- | tively preferred the plank tothe macadam | track ; and when reined from the former to the latter in turning out, would of their | own accord immediately turn back upon | the plank, when not prevented. | | But in this comparison of the relative | we have exhibited but few of the peculiar | ADVANTAGES OF PLANK ROADS, | All who have given much attention to | | \ that plank isthe material for an improved | tions of our own country which gave pro- mise of adding to their stock of informa- tion on this subject; and they now find themselves in posssession of a mass of facts and statistics which have forced a’ conviction upon their own minds, that PLANK ROADS are better adapted to the “there are stretches of 80 or 40 miles in| wants of Wisconsin at large, and to the. circumstances of our farmers and business | men, at the present juncture, than any or | all other modern road improvements.— | the mud. cr adopt plank roads.” And as plank road making is a new theo- | ry, an untried “scheme,” to most of our people, your committee hope they will not be transcending the sphere of their daty prive Gen.

For connecting distant and ‘important commercial points, no other | 'mode of land transportation can come in ‘competition with them; and we feel safe in predicting, that ere the lapse of many _ years Wisconsin{will be traversed by ma- ny of these magnificent “ highways,” les- | sening the expense and shortening the dis- | tance of travel and transportation be- | tween the Great Lakes and Mississippi, and facilitating and increasing the inter- course between our southern borders and the northern and western extremities of our embryo “* Commonwealth.” back scarcely half a dozen years; and supercede the use of the former.

Individuals, cor- porations, and even “sovereign States,” have been forced into bankruptcy, and driven toa humiliating repudiation of thetr | debts, by heedlessly incurring enormous liabilities for expensive works, many of | which it were a misnomer to character- ize as “improvements,” and most, perhaps, burdensome to the owners as a present investment, and some even totally profit-- less for all future time.

Such, however, have been the rapid de-— velopments in regard to the usefulness of plank roads within the last five years, that what were considered sound opinions and philosophical deductions on this subject in 1843, are now scouted as untiquated notions in 1848. Inthe report of the New York Senate, it is remarked, that while macadam roads “ may be best for one sec- tion of country, the difficulty and expense “attending their construction may render these roads are heavy to travel on, ex-. | . ” ‘to the advantage of the public.” — “cent events go far towards showing that | Yet this solidi- | in the State of New York, where, for a, ‘them impracticable for another ;” while “ plank roads can be built on any ground And re- plank are preferable to stone roads in nearly all localities, as will be seen from | the following circumstances: A plank road is about to be constructed at a town ‘reach of 14 miles, the line of road runs along a ledge of rocks proper for macad- , ‘amizing, only needs to be tumbled into ‘the road-way ready for breaking. otherwise, it will be destroyed at the- breaking up of the ground in the spring, | a two miles and lay down a plank road” in- we are indebted for hints and information of great use | to us in the preparation of this report : and to Professor | Manual on Road Making, Hon.

In fine, plank roads are preferable to those of macadamized stone in cheap- ness, in ease of draught, and in comfort to passengers ; greater speed being altain- | able on them, with less resistance to ward for his toil. In fine, to our citizens in those interior districts which are never expected to be traversed by Railroads, the construction of planked ways will extend the advantage of good, desirable, and con- venient thoroughfares, affording them an easy and rapid communication with their markets and their distant neighbors, and “securing to them facilities for travel and | transportation unenjoyed by their ances- _tors and unknown to the ancients. | The late Lord Sydenham having wit- _nessed the great utility of plank roads du- ring his residence in Russia, (which coun- try led the way in their adoption some twenty or thirty years since.) was deter- mined, on his accession to the Governor- _Generalship of Canada, to test their adap- tation to the wants of the Provinces over which he had been destined to rule; and the first plank road constructed there un- der the supervision of the Government, was commenced some nine years ago.— Since when, the Canadians have become so fully satisfied of the very great advan- | { { “mercial interests of their Provinces, from the introduction of that species of road gone more extensively into this system of | | | | | | | | | | | | i \ | | | falling ; moreover. the plank were liable | | | } Vienna, in Oneida county, 35 miles ; 5 to Salina to Rome, 35 miles ; from Sackett('s® - 4 Harbor, to intersect the road from Salina to Watertown, 12 miles; from Oswege to Auburn, 26 miles; and a road in Onon— daga county, of about six miles in length. There are still others, of the particulars in regard to which we have no certain knowledge. MODE OF CONSTRUCTION, ETC. As plank road making is a new theory in Wisconsin, and most of our peeple;-con= sequently, entire strangers to the manner of constructing that kind of public thor= oughfares, your committee will ask the indulgence of the Council, while. they briefly state the result of their inquiries and investigations oa this subject. Plank roads have been in use’ among the Russians for many years—their adop— | tion there having been first suggested. we believe, by the difficulty of constructing any other kind of road—way over their vast “steppes” (boggy deserts) in gaining access to the rich and exhaustless ore beds (or iron mines) of that country. But our researches afler facts and statistics in re~ gard to the Russian mode of constructing plank roads, have thus far been barren of any satisfactory results. ~ Ist. Manner of laying down the Plank. At Quebec, the plank were in the first instance laid lengthwise of the road, under the impression that the timber would stand friction better in that position, that the plank could be more reedily taken up in repairing the road, &c. But it was soon discovered that the borees could not, when | heavily hoaded, keep their feet on plank thus laid, and were censtant!y exposed to to tilt up, and he jostled out of their places. The experiment having worked badly, we believe it has never been repeated. On one of the Montreat and Chambly roads, the planks are twelve feet in length, | but being laid diagorally with the lise of the road, the track is only eight. feet in width. This mode, too, is disapproved ; for it is found, that the exming suddenly of half the wheels and balf the load apon ‘one end of the plank, while there is noth~ ing at the moment to keep the ether down, constantly operates te loveen the “planks, causing them to apring from end to end, and very coon seriously disrapts the road. On all, we believe, of the other plank roads in Cagada, 20 wel! ac those in the | United Statee, the plank are laid cross- wise, or traneveracly to the line of the road ; whieh method is found to be free | from the objections incident to the others, and liable to few or none peculiar to it- self. It is recommended by the engineer of the Salina road, whose suggestions are improvement among them, that they have | -road-making than any kingdom or repub- | ‘lic on the globe. The larger proportion of these Canadian roads are located in the London district, Canada West. Among them are the following, either finished or in progress: From Port Stanley to Lon- 26 miles; Hamilton to Port Dover, 36 miles; London to Brantford, 574 miles ; London to Chatham, 674 miles ; Chatham to Sandwich, 60 miles; Chatham to Am- bertsburgh, 18 miles; London to Port Sar- dinia, 62 miles ; London to Port Goodrich, , 75 miles; three or more radiating from) Toronto; one at Brockville ; one or two. at Montreal and Chambly; one at Que- parts of the two Provinces: making an of between 400 and 500 miles !

Suppose every man of us fold our arms, look knowing, shake our heads, and say, “ It is a great work— if it can only be built!” Is the “ great work” likely to be accomplished under such en- couragement? No. And the man who achieves a reputation for sagacity by such remarks, only deserves from his country such reward as is due to those who defeat great and patriotic projects for the good | | Road. of mankind.

How then, in mind this distinction. properly censar ference of opinion which “ Protest” has expresse his columns. sentiments, and a full investigation of the merits of all measures affecting the rights and interests of society ; for if wise and expedient, it will participate in the honor and share in the benefits, and if not, it is equally right that it should by the admission of free and courteous dis- cussion, ascertain the evils and be prepared to apply the remedy. With this understanding, “ P.otest,” thought the « Watchman” would extend to him the use of his co- lumns with pride and pleasure, and net as 8 privilege par excellence, as the right of free discussion is all that he claims. And he certainly would never have submit- ted to the Press his cursory review of several measures of the late Legislature, if he had not believed he reflec- ted the private feelings of the large majority of the peo- ple of Western Carolina, and their rightful expectations and true interests. And more especially would he have observed silence if he had believed his communi- cation would have been construed as intending to un- derrate the value, or retard the success of schemes 80 noble and so vitally important to the State, as the “ Watchman” forcibly represents them. He, therefore, takes this occasion to disclaim any such intention, and, in short, to gay that having entered his protest with the spirit and independence of a freeman, when experiencing disappointment in a favorite measure, he shail in future lend his feeble influence in advancing the claims and se- curing the great benefits which may arise to Western and the whole of North Carolina, by the proposed ex- tensive scheme of Internal Improvements. It may be consistent, but is never wise, when a favorite measure is no more in existence, to underrate the value of the sub- stitute and retard its success when it may secure great- er benefits. He hopes he has too much State pride and patriotiem, to oppose any improvements in the State pol- icy, which are called for by the circumstances of the times, and which will develope any great interests cal- culated to add wealth, prosperity and happiness to large classes of his fellow-citizens of the State. A crisis in the Internal Improvement policy of the State has arrived, and it becomes the intelligent, enter- prising and patriotic citizens of the whole State to con- tribute whatever of influence, talents and knowledge they may possess to effectuate the noble purposes and ends to be accomplished. The time for action upon the several schemes of improvement, has now arrived.— They have the sanction of the Legislature of the State, and if practicable, must and will have of the people al- so. Free and full discussion then of the merits, should be sought and encouraged, and the people informed and enlightened upon all the statistical facts pertaining to the mineral, agricultural and manufacturing resources of the State ; and the important bearings and influences which the Rail, Plank and Turnpike Roads will have upon them. In fine, meetings of our citizens sbould he immedi- ately called and held in the several Counties most inter- ested in these projects, and let them ascertain what can and will be done to secure the benefits of these chartered privileges. There is no virtue in delay. Action cannot defeat, but must advance the success of these enterprizes. They can as well be accomplished in two or three years, as five or six; and instant action in all practical schemes the sooner it is made, the more likely will success attend the effort. And in so doing, we will give profitable em- ployment to the large and idle surplus population of the State engaged in the agricultural pursuits which will leave fewer producers in them, and the necessary conse- quence of which will be, better prices for all kinds of produce and labor. It will also induce the people to im- prove their lands, and make them more productive when some stimulus and inducement is extended, instead of immigrating to new lands in the far West. But I do not intend to go into the merits of these Improvements in this communication, and will, therefore, return to the proposed plan of holding County meetings immediately, that we may ascertain whether associations of individu- als will not take one-third of the stock in the labor of grading the Central Rail Road through their respective Counties, the State paying the other two-thirds in mo- ney. In this way, it is believed, the individual stock can be secured, and the Road built without scarcely the possibility of a doubt. For the two-thirds money will pay them better than any ordinary labor, and at least, if | no larger profit arises to an individual for instance in grading one mile of the Road, he has one-third of the cost of that mile as his stock in the Road, and when it is built, his land will have increased more than 30 per cent. in value; and be has a Road to market calculated in distance by hours and not by days and miles. A meeting explanatory of this plan has already been held in this village, and it is contemplated that another shall be held in furtherance of it at April Court, at which time something more definite and satisfactory will be done in the premises. of the citizens of Davidson, that they will do as much to secure the construction of this Rail Road in propor- tion as any County in North Carolina. They under- stand the interests at stake in this enterprise, and are de- termined to move in the lead, and evince to the whole State that they are not inattentive to the part and duty assigned them.

It is the most able and comprehe sive document on this subject that } ever been presented to fhe public. W, shall therefore publish it entire. It wag written, as will be seen, for the benefit of Wisconsin, but the good sense of ow readers will enable them easily to see ty what extent it is applicable to North Car. olina. All the facts are important, anf we are confident that no man who is a4. quainted with the nature and extent of the business carried on between these two places, but will rise from the perusal of this paper well conviuced that of all the various schemes of road making, the Plank. Road is the very one most needed between Salisbury and Fayetteville. Let us suppose that a farmer has one bundred barrels of flour for market, and that the highest price can be realized at Fayetteville. A single team on our com mon roads will haul 10 barrels. It will therefore, require ten wagons and teams to deliver his flour at Fayetteville, andi will require twelve days to make the trip Ten times 12 are 120—days ; which, at?! dollars a day,—a low estimate for a team, driver, wagon, &c.—we have the sum of $240 as the cost of transportation of 100 barrels of flour. If the farmer now te ceives six dollars per barrel for his flour, he will have left only $860—having paid equal to forty barrels to get the other sixty to Market. Now how would it be if we had a Plank Road on thisline? A team of four horses will easily draw 33 barrels of flour on such a road, and can make the trip in about eight days; but we will say ten days. Three teams, you will perceive, do the work of ten, and in- stead of consuming 220 days, 30 are amply sufficient. Here, then, is an outlay of $60 for hauling, and perhaps fifteen dok lars for toll, making the sum of $75—equal to twelve and a half barrels of flour, aad showing a difference in favor of the plank road of one hundred and sixty-five dollars— saved by the farmer on only 100 barrels of flour, a sum of money Which no farmer can afford to lose on his hard earnings— | more than sufficient to pay his Doctor’ | bills, and taxes, and the cost of his groce- “ries. | But this is not only true as to the trase addressed his remarks to the practical judgment of mat- | portation of flour: It applies to every ter of fact men, and not to book moths which not being | |, . better endowed with the intelligence of ideas than those | thing that a farmer would send to Mar insects, canker upon the words of Crabbe’s synonyines to | : : aa eaetaiel (ol | ket.

Men wha have janded, mineral,.or other property to be _ ephaaced. by the construction of this work até, We find, bringing themselves by de- grees, but surely, to a point of action ; and we have no doubt in this world that man of small means is active inpatting in his subscriptions, capitalists ; of We understand considerable number of men of ns in an adjoining county and herea- g. have declared that they will each m one of a company to consist of one hundred who shall take the whole stock.— When men begin totalk that way, we may depend upon it they are prepared for ac- tion; and we-may also rest assured that they have bright expectations in the fu- ture, backed by certainty of success. Should such a company as this be form- ed, of course they would have the privi- lege of working out their subscriptions.— Thisis the thing which is waking up monied men, and which ensures the completion of the work. will be a money making business to take stock on these terms: for,say they, if I sub- scribe ten thousand dollars of stock, and work out thirty thousand dollars, the State will have to pay me twenty thousand af- ter deducting my subscription ; for it must be remembered that the State pays two- thirds of the expense whilst individuals pay only one-third. Or, in other words: the State gives me a job of $30,000, at fair wages, provided | will pay one-third the expense ; and secures to me an inter- est also in the work equal to the amount of my subscription ; so that I receive, in the end, full wages for all the work done, and my proportion of the profits which may be realized by the operations of the road. | would not lose any thing if the stock should-never be above par ; for the hands employed in the work could not have found as profitable employment elsewhere, even after deducting the one-third, as when working on the road. And if the stock should prove to be good, my fortune ismade. Such isthe argument; and in the degree the States’ proposed contract is understood and appreciated, so will be the willingness of capitalists to accept it. THE GREAT PROJECT. We hear many persons speaking of the great Central Rail Road; some appear confident and say the Road can and will be built, while others appear to have doubts as to the practicability of the scheme All we have to say, is that it will, never be made while there are so many doubt- ing “ Peters” to be found. No man ought for one moment to think of a failure.— Greater enterprizes than this and ten-fold more difficult have been accomplished, by energy and perseverance, and their health- ful influence seen, felt, and acknowledg- ed by all. the Central Road, for all who desire to see a changein the prospect of things, to come forward and subscribe for the Stock.— Those who fail to do this, cannot with any propriety grumble hereafter at the | dreary prospect before them. Now isthe time to make an effort to raise the State the aid of the man of ink and types afore- toa level with the other States of the | Union, and for our people to share the | benefits which they now enjoy. in this region of the State, for at least It is believed by many that it | dy, 10. wai $4 > = ve has been duly elected President of the United States for four years, commencing with the fourth day of March, eighteen bondred and for. ty nine; and also to wait on Millard Fillmore of New York, and inform him ‘that he has been duly elected Vice President of the United States for four years, commencing with the fourth day of March, 1849, 0 In the political world there is no news of any importance, the papérs be- ing almost barren, except so far as the Gold news from California is concerned. All advices from that Territory confirms the reports of the great abundance of the precious metal, and also, that there is no law in force. Murders occur almost daily. If something is not speedily done, no man can be safe, as will be seen by the extract below from a letter of Commodore Jones, of the Pacific Squadron : “In one instance an entire houschold of ten persons—a respectable ranchero, two children, and six servants. The man, whose name was Reed, had been very successful in the diggings during the summer,and had returned to his home, near Santa Barbara, with a large amount of gold. His house was surprised by an armed party and the whole family, as above stated, were barbarously murdered, and the house rifled of its golden treasure. The perpetrators of this horrid deed are still at large ; of the other five cases, four are highway robberies, com. mitted on persons returning with gold from the mines. In a word, ] may say with truth, that both persons and property are insecure in Up. per California at this time; and I am sorry to add that, in all cases of outrage and violence, as yet discovered, emigrants from the United States, disbandoned volunteers, runaway sailors and deserters from the army and navy, are be- lieved to be the perpetrators.” In a postscript to his letter, Com.

It is, with- out doubt, one of the finest natural sites for Factories to be found. There is power sufficient to drive any num- ber of mills, or any amount of machinery. All who have seen it have pronounced it one of the first class,— a never-failing stream, and remarkable for its purity, it is adapted to the manufacture of paper, to calico print- ing, bleaching, &c. Situated in the neighborhood of several operating Cotton Factories, in a healthy, pro- ductive, thriving region of country ; within easy access to Salisbury, through which the great Central Rail Road is to pass, with much of the necessary labor towards the improvement of the place already done, it possesses ad- vantages rarely to be met with. ; The subscriber’s efforts to improve this valuable site, have resulted in the completion of a never yielding dam, a Saw Mill, in active operation, a Grist Mill, soon to be put in motion, and the commencement of a building 28 by 75 feet, designed for a Factory, about half finished.

How d’ye feel now, Johnny, you begin to find the old woman’s ’bout right, don’t you,” triumphatly exclaimed the old lady, as she took an enormous pinch of snuff, drew her spectacles | over her eyes and turned towards her son-in-law. Johnny was in a convulsion of laughter, but contrived to gasp his conviction that the Order was all blown to pieces. Mrs. Credulous believes to this day, that all this mad wag Smith told her is true toa letter. Nor is she alone in her strange belief. There are thousands like Mrs. Credulous, everywhere, whose prejudices are nursed and kept alive with nameless surmises, terrible suspicions, and outlandish stories relative to the character and “se- crets” of the Order, not a whit less ridicrlous, and as far removed from the truth as the vesacious develope- ment by this good old lady.

Bat on this occasion her triumphant and em- phatic manner, excited his curiosity, and he quietly ask- ed her to explain herself. Ob!

This raised the ire of the old lady, and she declared she would tell it now “ jest eout of spite.” She wasdy- tig all the while to make her revelation, but hoped John- ’ py would coax her to unfold the tale. “Well,” said Johnny, “ I’m all attention.” “ Im the first place,” began the old lady, “the feller that’s to be took in, has got to go with a passe! of fel- Jers in a dark room, and when they git him there, they leck him up in a big iron chest, with a hole in one end | zing earnestly at the vessel, now loosing from her moorings.

MEDFORD RUM. A few weeks since, as we were riding through the streets of the beautifid town of Med. ford, Mass., we suddenly entered an atmosphere loaded with the furnes of the still, Bah!— What a stench! Strong enough to stir up the smouldering embers of a Washingtonian’s ap- petite, if it had been quiet for years. On inqui- ry, we found that we were in the neighborhood of the Medford distillery, now the only manu. factory of the celebrated * Medford Rum.’ Here the fires are kept in full blast; the smoke, in impious mockery, rises toward Heaven; the worm almost unceasinly disgorges the ‘double distilled damnation,’ and a fumy, steamy, offen. sive atmesphere surrounds the whole establish. ment embracing a circuit of many rods on either side. When Mar Yohannan, the Nestorian Bishop, was in the United States, he stopped a short time in Medford. As he was riding to church one Sabbath, with a friend of ours, they passed by this establishment, and were forced to in- hale the noxious vapor, when the Bishop, mak. ing significant gestures, remarked with much force and propriety— One very bad smell, that Devil House.” At a public meeting the Bishop toid the people that this country sent to the Nestorians Bible Missionaries, and that the latter carried Rum with them. seen the beast of burden toiling up the rugged path of his native mountains, with a cask upon each city, marked ** Medford Rum, New Eng. land.” We have heen informed that when Rev. Mr. Perkins first went into those regions, among were casks with the above brand upon them. The town of Medford is somewhat noted for its excellent ship building, its fine country and wealthy inhabitants, but it has a wider noto- riety. The brand, “ Medford Rum,” burnt up- on barrel heads, has given it renown, almost the world over. Inglorious Fame! O that the words might be told; the victims counted up; the great sum of all the sad and terrible results, written out! Yes, if nothing less will suffice, written in letters of flame upon a black cloud, that should hang over that town till all might read—iill all should feel the dread im. port, feel the wrong and the shame, and be rousedto action. Ifother means fail, there are men in that town, who must reckon carefully to miss the sum requisite to buy up this scourge, and convert it into something useful and re- spectable. Self-respect and courtesy towards strangers, if there were no weightier considera- lions, ought to urgethe people of Medford to a- bate this nuisance, stifle this “ breathing hole.” It occupies the commercial centre of the town, and {wo or three of the principal streets run within olfactory distance of it. If Hell must have vent in that region, by virtue of ancient usage, let it be opened in a more remote place, that travellers and sojourners shall not be fore. ed to pass and breathe within its pestiferous precincts.—N.

In vain—-in vain, day follows day, They glide without a mark away— But nought shall from my soul remove Thy memory, latest dream of love. \ I see my rapid years gone by Behind me heaped as mountains high— E’en as the Oak in Autumn time, Sees fall the foilage of his prime. The frost of age is on my brow, My chilly blood will scarcely flow— Like this dark wave o’er which has passed The cold breath of the wintry blast. But thy serene and youthful face, Which sorrow only comes to grace, Still lovely in my heart I bold, For, like the soul, it ne’er grows old. No—thou hast never left mine eye, My lonely path thou still art nigh— And when I ceased to see thee here, I saw thee in a brighter sphere. There I behold thee such again As on that last dread day of pain, When to thy blest abode away Thou fleddest with the morning’s ray. Thy pure and touching loveliness In Heaven’s sweet air shines none the less, And eyes where life had ceased to be Are bright with immortality. It is thy hand which dries my tears, And calms my spirit’s anxious fears ; Thy voice doth whisper in mine ear “Pray thou in secret, God will hear.” And e’en in sleep thou dost attend, The guardian angel of thy friend; For all my dreams are filled with thee, Pure as the thoughts of Seraphs be. THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE. ALCOHOL AND IDIOCY. We recommend the following extract from the Report of Dr. Howe, on Idiocy in Massa. chusetts, to any who have doubted the expedi- ency and necessity of the great movement of the day for Temperance Reformation ; and es- pecially to any who may be in the habit them- selves of feeding the growing appetite within them, with a little brandy or wine from day to day.—Independent. ‘ Directly and indirectly, alcohol is produc- tive of a great proportion of the idiocy which now burdens the commonwealth. If, moreover, one considers how many children are born of intemperate parents. who without being idiots, are deficient in bodily and mental energy, and are predisposed by their very organization to have cravings for alcoholic stimulants, it will be seen what an immense burden the drinkers of one generation throw uponthe succeeding. Many a parent, by habitual stimulus applied to his own nervous system, forms, and fashions his child in such wise, that he is more certain to earn Ly the sweat of their brows! What say you, tax-payers, are you willing to pay a thousand dollars to enable the grog-seller to make two red cents ? ASHAMED OF HIS BUSINESS. Why is the liquor seller ashamed of his bu- siness. 1—Why does he carry it on in secret? Why have his casks containing the miasma of death come to him labelled, beef, or pork, in- stead of their appropriate designation? Why crowd it into the back room or down celler away from the gaze of the respectable and mo- ral? Honesty is not afraid of the light—she covets it—it is her element. Is he honest ? then why not own the works of his hands? As Dr. Jewett fitly remarked in one of his scathing lectures to rumsellers : “ Every other workman feels a kind of honest pride in his successful efforts to produce some striking specimen of his art; but leta man be found drunk in the street, in the neighborhood of some half dozen grog-shops, and let the inquiry be made of these priests of Bacchus, who made him what he is seen to be? and they will every one deny that they had any participation in the affair— ‘he didn’t get his rum here,” goes the whole round. [ Fountain. ee THE WINE.CUP AND ITS EFFECTS. We were informed yesterday of a melan- choly affair by which a young lady will proba. bly lose her life The facts, as related to us, are as follows: The brother of the young lady in question, who had been enjoying himself ata party, was brought home in a cab, and after having been conveyed to his room, insisted upon leaving, for the purpose, as he said, of “ getting a drink.” His sister, in endeavoring to prevent his egress from the house, was felled by a blow upon the left temple to the pavement, falling down a flight of several steps. She was taken up al. most insensible, and medical aid was imme. diately procured. Upon examination it was found that the skull was fractured, and hemorr- hage would no doubt ensue. The brother, who is acclerk in a dry goods store, had not been arrested, but remains constantly at the bed-side of his unfortunate sister.— Phil. Dispatch. nein the New York Express, thus notices the Levee at the White House, on the evening of the 8th inst. ; “ Last night brought out an immense crowd, in the expectation that it would be the last. The company was almost as varied as the New Year’s Levee, though in much more elegant costume. There were some thirty musicians, and some delightful music to add to the pleasure ofthe evening. The greatest crowd were pre- sent between nine and half past nine, when the east room, the reception room, and the room known as the green, were nearly packed. New York could hardly have turned out a more con- spicuous multitude than was present here—an audience more fashionable and gay. Some were present decked in all the plumage of the feathered tribes. “ There was every color and shade of color of dress, the gaudy and expensive, eclipsing in number and otherwise simple and tasteful. Eve. ry country and part of our own country was re. presented, the fashion of each was prominent, high necks and low necks, velvets and lawn, red and blue, gray and black, pink and purple, white and yellow. Criticism hada full night’s labor and a week’s comment out of this compa. ny. “There was a sad straining to force youth to be made a drunkard by the ordinary tempta- tions of life, than the child of a temperate man would be, even if living from his youth upward | within the temptation of a bar room.” a — ( WIFE MURDERING. What a respectable business is that which makes men murder their wives! In our last | paper was an account of this description, for | which the husband was sentenced to the gal- lows. Itis not long since a similar murder took place, also in New York, committed by a man named Slaight, whose wife had been for- ced to leave him in consequence of his drunk. enness and mal-treatment, and who, failing to induce hero return, killed her with a pistol, while excited by rum. On coming to bis sober | senses and finding himself in prison, he was | horror stricken at hisown conduct, and reso- 'lutely refused to take food, being determined to | starve himself to death. Just before his death ‘he said to the physician who was trying to in- | duce him to take nourishment: ‘Doctor, I | want to die. My poor wife is gone, and [ want | to follow her. I have nothing to live for ; it is | of no use to force anything in this old body ; it _is worth nothing ; it is my mind that suffers i ' much more than my body; I feel I am dying ' now ; I shan’t be long with you. Oh! the dev. il tempted me to commit the deed, and the devil is in me now.’ And that was the last he was heard to say, as he gasped once or twice for breath, and in a few seconds his spirit had pass- ,ed away. This man left six children. What a sad in- heritance to those orphans! their mother mur. dered by their father, their father murdered by himself!

The drunkard shot his son-in-law while intoxicated : and his apprehension, confinement in jail, ex- ecution, &c., cost the county more than one thousand dollars, which temperance men had a e | into age and age into youth, and one in such a | company, could well realize the idea of Burke, descriptive of the court of Antoinette, where “the daughter begins to bloom before the moth. er is content to fade,” and, it is added, * there is hardly room in this world for two genera. tions.” “I saw beside a lady dressed most elegant- ly in rich velvet and jewels, one of “ the b’hoys” just from the street, with muddy boots, a torn and dirty coat, and not even a clean shirt ora clean face. aristocratic for the mansion of an American President. “ Some were present in full ball dress, and others with full equipment for a hard days’ work upon the highway. Hundreds came in street dress, and passed their time in staring at others. | There were bonnets on and bonnets off, and in | short, every variety of person and taste. * A Chippewa Indian Chief, an eloquent or- ator and a noble fellow, in the full costume of Government of this country, until Jaws shall be home, was one of the lions of the night. “ Mrs. Madison was another. and one of the chief also. She came early, remained late, en- | joyed the scene equally to those of whom there were many, who were here for the first time.” An expedition for California 1s fitting out at Richmond called the Madison Mining and Tra. ding Company. ‘They have purchased the ship Glenmore. and are loading her witha fall cargo of assurted goods, calculated for the market to which she is destined. The company con- sists of 70 members—well picked, intelligent, healthy, good and true men. Every mechan- ic art is represented. Among the members, are two gentlemen who have resigned their posts of Lieutenants in the Navy. The Com. pany will be under military organization, each man armed with a rifle and two good pistols, and many of them with Cott’s formidable six barreled revolvers. They will be, therefore, thoroughly prepared for defence against land and water pirates. The full capital of the Com. pany is $70,000. They expect to sail by the 4th March at the farthest.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA GAZETT AND County JouRNAL. ‘Tuesday, June 13, 1775. Charlotte Town, Mecklenburg Co : May 31, 1775. This day the Commitee of this County met and passed the following Resolves : Whereas, by an address to His Majesty by both Houses of Parliament in February last, the American Colonies are declared to be in'a State of actual rebellion, we conceive, that all laws and commissions confirmed by and. de- rived from the authority of the King or Paflia- ment, are annulled and vacated, and the former civil constitution of these colonies for the pres. ent wholly suspended. To provide, in some degree for the exigencies of this country-in the pressnt alarming period, we deem it proper and necessary to pass the following Resolves, viz : I. That all commissione, civil and military, heretofore granted by the Crown to be efér. cised in these Colonies are null and void; aid the constitution of each particular ee!ony whol. ly suspended. S If. That the Provincial Congress of each Province, under the direction of the great eon- tinental Congress, is invested. with all legiela- | tive and executive powers within their respect- ive Provinces; and that no other legislative or executive power does or can exist, at this time, | in any of these colonies.

In making the side earth track, or turn-out path, which is twelve feet wide on the Salina road, | the earth should come up even with the top sur- face of the plank track, and slightly fall off to- wards the ditch at a depression of about four | inches in the twelve feet. A planked way thus | thoroughly and carefully built, says Mr. Alvord, “isthe ne plus ultra of road-making.” Mr. Geddes saw a road in Canada which “ had been worn out, and was being replanked : the sills were still good, and the plank sound on the underside, save where air had supptied the place of earth, and there they were destroyed by rot.” 5th.

Iv is €nsier to go over the same elevation on a plank road than on acommon dirt one ; foron plank there is no cutting into the substance passed over, nor encountering of stones by the wheels; and if, as it ought to be, the plank way is covered with a slight coating of earth, the only danger anggrvies: the slippii.g of the animal, is avoided. ft would be a prettier sight for the eye, were we to grade our plank roads more level ; but while their practical utility is not lessened in any perceptible degree by their unevenness, economy forbids the expense of leveling them for ornament! The grading and grubbing on the Port Stanley road seems to have been more costly than on any similar structure in Canada. Independent of embank- ments and deep cuts, the expenditure on ac- count of grading. &c., of this road, averaged $320 per mile; while on the Salina plank road, (built on an old road-way, however.) the whole cost for bridges, sluices, and contingen- cies, was only $63 per mile. Where the en- tire foundation is to be made anew, it is diffi. cult to make any calculation that can claim to be more than an approximation to accuracy, in regard to the expense of grading, &c.— | Should the line of the road pass over a plane surface, with only gentle undulations, or over an old road-way, with no hills to eut down nor vallies to fill up, fifty cents a rod might cover the expense ; while under other circumstances, one dollar per rod would not be too high an es- ‘timate. Seventy-five cents per rod was the. cost on the Salina road. The grading, when once well done, is done for all time. (To be Continued.) THE CENTRAL RAIL ROAD. Much interest is beginning to be manifested | in the schemes for Internal Improvement pro- jected by our last Legislature. A Rail Road meeting was held at Salisbury on the 8th inst. which the Watchman describes as in a high degree interesting, and as evidencing a greater degree cf unanimity of sentiment and cordiality of feeling than they had ever witnessed. The meeting was addressed by John A. Lillington, | I did not preserve your paper munication of yout : And although it was published Watchman and Greensborough to lay my hand upon it. remember its contents perfectly. The writer commen- ces by saying that it was already apparent that an ini ; partial public sentiment would disapprove of all the leading measures of thé last Legielature‘as being unwise and inexpedient. He had heard no voice of assent, and believed that. no intelligent or patriotic man could be found who would not concur ia the popular indignation. He said this after much delibration, having attended with “unusual” interest to the proceedings of the Le- gislature ; and-he rose from the sickening review with feelings 6f “humiliation” and disgust. He then asked where was the true Carolinian who would attempt to justify the iliberal, and ungenerous policy of the Legis- lature, “ whether we consider the general schemes of improvement,” &c. He then declared such legislation to be “ novel, unwise, extravagant, and contrary to the laws of custom and nature”’—an effort to flatter the peo- ple with “idle baubles,” and divert their attention from their “trae welfare and destiny.” He then denounces the Rail Road project as the “central offspring” of Eastern men—that it was “ unwise ” in the Legislature to attempt to divert trade from its natural channels, and | the time for tying the West to the East had elapsed — that our trade was North and South, and not Eastward —that “our treasure would be wasted, and our people taxed to no purpose ”—that the “ chilling reflection was truly humiliating to the patriots pride ”—that “such po- licy, if persisted in, would cast us still deeper into the | original chaos” of primitive nature ; and was but the | foreshadowing of the future ruin and desolation of the | | State. Now, Messrs. Editors, I being “ incapax doli”—(that | | is, incapable of deceit) thought “ Protest” was opposed , | to the Central Rail Road, and the other schemes of im- provement; und I suppose every one who read his essay came to the same conclusion. In your last paper, how- ever, “ Protest” comes out witha “ Codicil.” Now,a “ Codicil” is an appendage to a last will and testament, _ and is intended to add to, revoke, or modify the previ- | ously declared intention of the testator. It is always an ' after thought. Can it be that “ Protest” has looked around, and found that his protest instead of being the voice of the majority as he at first supposed, is after all, a real protest according to his own definition, being the , dissent of the minority, and that preferring to be on the strong side, he has concluded to add a “codicil” to his | practice of our profession, he has... | cally, ‘Monarchs of all we Survey,’ wif fT purposes y Mes ¢ Boe prapetblovse ok hoses cn bis ing countie ‘ bY HOWaAn and th set North Carolina, ° Deeply. impressed with the belief ai something is pecessary.to the furihe, of tnedical inquiry and the more r of t . ele ed from some consoltation with othe, “ty sicians—and much t ion of bio —that the Physicians ef Rowang tm Western North Carolina, and indea™ State at large, should fall. apon _ bea te) iy - “+ “3 there are I beliéve some part of every Slate in the Up; The beneficial effects of these associa upon “the theory and practice of » ’ cine” are too great and easy of annus tion by all worthy of the title of Mp. need any discussion and elucidation, it is passing strange “that our theory practice sbould so litigate in North olina, for it is most notorious that the no such thing as a Medical College <- State, and to the best of my know) a nota Medical Society of any king e+ its bounds.

A diversity of opinion has prevailed in regard to this part of the structure, says the New York Senate report, * both in aize and in number, have varied and changed since the first introduction of plank roads. At | first five or six were placed under a 16 foot | road, and were 6 inches square. But they | have been gradually reduced, both in size and “The sleepers,” | number, so that now, under an 8 ft. track, two tirely sufficient, except in cases of an extraor- _dinary amount of travel; but it isso.” Mr A. remarks, that * great speculative objection was | made in the start to but one plank track ; but | we have now the entire community with us in | deciding that, on all ordinary roads, one track is _ fully sufficient. ‘The reason is this: the travel in ' wet weather is entirely on the plank, except the turning of the light teams; but they seek the plank again as soon as they can get around the team met or overtaken, so that the turn-out ‘track is not cut with continuous lengthwise ruts, _and perhaps wheels of not one team in a hun. | dred turn-outs will strike the exact curve of an- ‘other; consequently, in our experience, our turn-out track being well graded and passing |the water from its surface, remains perfectly _hard and smooth.” And during a thaw about | the beginning of January, when the frost was | entirely out of the ground, their turn-out track, | ' which is made of common earth scraped up on | the spot, remained perfectly good, and no diffi. | culty was experienced in passing off and on the 'plank. ‘The Salina road has but one track— | except that for about 100 rods through the vil- | lage, there are two eight feet tracks, four feet apart, with a graded path-way between ; thence | but one track runs a distance of two and a half | miles, ‘ until it reaches a soil of deep and yield. | ing sand, where two tracks are again laid and | continued a short distance, until the road, de- scending a slight hill, gains the level of the | low wet cedar marsh about eighty rods wide, | | which is crossed by a plank track of sixteen | feet wide, laid upon an embankment of sand averaging three feet in hight; it then ascends | from this swamp up to another range of sandy | land, across which two tracks of eight feet are | ‘carried for three-fourths of a mile, until the | | road- way is composed ofa gravelly soil, whence | but one track is used to its termination.” The | objections to a sixteen feet double track are: | As we have already shown, the travel will con. | verge to the centre, and the depressing of a | wide road at the centre causes a springing up | of the ends of the plank, which, admitting the air and moisture, renders them unstable in | their position, and promotes rot; whereas on | an eight feet road, common waggons, whose | track is five feet four inches, bear more equal. | | (To be Coatinued.) and the engineer writes tu us that he uses ly on the plank, and tend to k them in, rath. plank of three inches in thickness, and, as the se oe eel ces ee La tee er than jostle them out of their place ; and thus | were adopted expressing a hearty approval of, the wise and patriotic Legislation which con. ceived and adopted measures so eminently cal- culated to improve the condition of our State ; measures to the completion of which self-inter- est as well as patriotism should prompt every | citizen to devote his energies. And to secure united effort, they recommend a General Con. vention of the friends of these measures from every portion of the country interested, on Thursday the 14th day of June next. The meeting also resolved to organize a body to be called the * Rowan Internal Improvement As- sociation,” whose duty it shall be to promote the proposed enterprises in such manner as may be deemed most advisable. From the peculiar position of the town of Salisbury, it is perhaps destined to reap a lar- ger amount of benefit from the proposed works than almost any other point; yet every sec- | tion of the country through which they will pass is deeply interested, and none perhaps | _more than the people of the county of Orange. And so especially is the prosperity of our town | of Hillsborough connected with the location of the Rail Road, that it behooves all our citizens | to take an active interest in it. With the view of promoting the interests both of the town and county, it is proposed that a meeting of the citizens of the county gener. ally be held in this place on Tuesday of the Superior Court, being the 6th of March next. It is hoped that as many will attend as can conveniently do so. Speeches will doubtless be delivered on the occasion, and such expla- nations made of the proposed improvements, as will amply compensate the hearers for their | attention.— Hillsboro’ Recorder. “FREE SUFFRAGE.” Those who paid attention to the legis- lative proceedings as they came out week- ly in the newspapers, no doubt observed that the subject of amending our State constitution as relates to the suffrage pri- vilege, occupied a share of the earnest attention of the Legislature. None of the propositions for alteration were adop- ted; yet the votes on the various propo- sitions and amendments introduced, show- Hear what he says in his “codicil.” ‘“ And he : (“« Protest”) certainly would never have submitted to the | press his cursory review of the several measures of the late Legislature if he had not believed he reflected the. | private feelings of the large majority of the people -of- Western Carolina.” That is, if he had not supposed | himself on the strong side, he would have taken the oth- ‘er. But having discovered his mistake he slides over now with more ease than grace. Watch him. “ And more especially, would he (Protest) have observed si- lence if he had believed his communication would have been construed as intending to underrate the value, or retard the success of schemes so noble and 80 vitally im- _ portant to the State. He, therefore, takes this occasion to disclaim any such intention.” ‘In short, he will, for ‘the future, lend his feeble influence in advancing the | | claims, and securing the great benefits which may arise | | to Western, and the whole of North Carolina, by the pro- ' posed extensive scheme of internal improvements.”— | Having passed the chrysalis state, he now begins to grow warm in the cause. “A crisis in the internal improve- | ment policy of the State has arrived, and it becomes | the intelligent, enterprising, and patriotic citizens of | the whole State, to contribute whatever of influ- | ence, talents, and knowledge they may possess to ef- fectuate the noble purposes and ends to be accomplish- | ed.” Protest becomes more and more ardent. Now he | begins to exkort. ‘“ The time for action upon the seve- ral schemes of improvement has now arrived. They | | have the sanction of the Legislature, and if practicable, | must and will have the sanction of the people also.”— | As new converts are always more zealous than old pro- | fessors, “ Protest” now begins to devise ways and means. | “In fine, meetings of our citizens should be immediate- ly held in the several Counties most interested in these projects, and let them ascertain what can and will be | done to secure the benefits of these chartered privi- leges.” “ Protest” now becomes impatient, and in great excitement cries out, “ there is no virtue indelay. Ac- tion cannot defeat, but must advance the success of these enterprizes. ‘They can as well be done in two or three years as in five or six.” With great vehemence and power, “ Protest” then goes on to argue ad homi- nem ad pocketum and ud infinitum, in favor of the Rail | Road, Turnpike Road, Plank Road, and the other | schemes of improvement adopted by the last Legislature. | | Now, Messrs. Editors, I am “incapax doli” again. | | He is in favor of the Road—heis. He only entered his | protest—he did. He hates nullification—he does. If I were mischievous enough to make Protest his own judge, | I would quote a passage from his first communication, | wherein he says in substance, that no one but a fool would favor these schemes of improvement. I will not, however, take a snap Judgment upon him, but shall con- | sent for him to have a new trial. Protest concluded his first communication with this ominous challenge. “I pause for a reply.’ As much as to say, “if any friend of these internal improvement ' schemes wishes to make fight, come on, I am ready for you.” Now, one of the most remarkable occurrences in the history of polemics, is the fact, that Protest has | | | | accepted his own challenge, and most triumphantly van- | useless to indulge in lugubrition, Itisleft | without action and concert in action. | _ propose then to the medical profession of pose of looking into the State of medieal affairs, supplying whatever it may need _ and instituting a permanent society.

They are elegantly written, and pford @ fund of interesting information. This is the way to do t.—We have un- doubted authority for saying that if under the charter of the North Carolina Rail- Road an arrangement can be made by which subscribers for Stock will be able to work out their subscriptions in the man- ner suggested in the newspapers, the whole amount necessary to execute the work in Rowan (22 miles) will be taken by her eitizens readily: We know of two gen- tlemen that have declared they will take nine miles of it, and two others and (have peard of) one /ady who have determined on taking one or two miles each, and sev- eral who say they will go into the business tosome extent. We will vouch for Row- an. Her capitalists, we admit appear to be timid ; but her working men are spirit- ed and bold. South Carolina Rail Road.—The fol- lowing facts in relation to this road, are gathered from the Report of a Committee appointed by the Stockholders, and to whom the Report was made. It appears that the business of this road has greatly inereased. The income to 31st December, 1848, on orbed the whole of this amount, chiefly by the expenditure, onthe Camden branch, oad. The income of the Road for five years preceding the last, increased at an aver- age rate of 8 per cent. The increase of 1848 over 1847 was 22 perct., which was in part etfected by the new business on Camden branch. Estimating the increase of the present year at 15 percent., and the amount of income after meet- gall liabilities is set downat $100,000. 148,589 OO of the liabilities consist of Jedt, which when paid will be a reduc- iow of indebtedness, and $62,500 will be or improvement of property.

Asa paper presenting all the material faets, and fairly considering the objections, obstacles, &c., in relation to this enter- prise, it is superior to any thing yet given tothe public ; and we trust pains may be taken by the friends of the Road to give itwide circulation. 1 The Charlotte Jeffersonian of the 10th ult., says Gold Dollars will shortly be issued from the Mint.

THE CHARLOTTE AND DANVILLE RAIL ROAD. It gives us pleasure to observe with what | _ cheerfulness the people interested in this pro. ject have abandoned itin favor of the Central | Rail Road. We allude of course to the people of this State, say in the counties contiguous to | Charlotte, Salisbury, and Greensborough, in which places the papers express themselves not only satisfied but gratified by the change. This | ; is an evidence of good sense and patriotism , _ Which might have been hoped for rather than | expected, when we consider the warm interest | excited in favor of the Danville project by its , almost unopposed possession of the public mind | in that region for many months past, and by. ‘the absence of all hope of such lideral measures as our Legislature has adopted to give them an | outlet in another direction—a more natural, fea- sible and desirable direction. We cannot, a¢ yet, form an opinion astothe | | success of the Central Rail Road. It will be , seen that an enthusiastic meeting was held at Salisbury. Another is called at Greensbo- rough ; and we suppose Raleigh, Charlotte, &c. will very soon take up the matter in earnest. Whether they will succeed in raising 30 large | an amount as a million of dollars, is doubted | by some. But in the wish that it may be ac. | complished, we think every true triend of the | State. of its character and its prosperty, will | unite most heartily. It may not, and probably will not, benefitthis part of the State, pecuniarily, | to the amount of a single dollar. But its ac- complishment will enrich and ennoble the whole | State, and in her general prosperity and eleva. | tion the various sections cannot but participate. | With this belief, we should cast aside all mere | local feeling, and unitedly labor for the success | of any scheme which may promise benefit to | any portion of the people of North Carolina. The Charlotte Journal states that the dis- | Also, an acre lot adjoining the same, with a good frame | Dwelling thereon ; also, one third of a lot on which is a ' Blacksmith Shop ; also, the tance from that place, by the Danville route, to Richmond, Va., is 320 miles. ‘Then it is a | longer route, by a few miles, than to the same | place by the proposed Central Road and the | | Raleigh and Gaston Road, &e. By the Dan. ville route, the farmer could reach but one market, viz: Richmond, and that out of our own State.

BROWN & SON. 49 For sale by February 13, 1849 9 OUR” = active part in the late Feniow Crrizexs ; Having taken an ac islatare, au the construction of the North Carolina Rail Road, in ore def to prevent a misconstraction of our course, and in order that that important act itself may be properly understood and appreciated, we deem it expedient to give a brief history of its progress through the Assembly :—to set forth its probable effects upon the condition of our own countrymen, and its claims upon their favorable consideration. It is known to most of you, that previously to taking our seats in the late General Assembly, whilst yet among you, we, as well as most of the Western members, were declared ad- vocates of a Charter to make a Rail Road from Charlotte to the town of Danville, in Virginia. With great zeal, and in good faith we set out in an endeavor to accomplish this par- and this endeavor, were predicated upon what we regarded, as a fixed fact, to wit, that the Rail Road authorised by the Virginia Charter from Richmond ,to Dan- ville, would be speedily made, and that no shade of uncertain- ty rested upon that event: We had not been long in the City of Raleigh, however, before we we found out that the event- val success of that measure was extremely doubtful, and from all the information we have been able to obtain in relation to it, we are compelled to rest upon the conclusion that it either never will be made, or if made at all, it will be so long before it is done, as to make it folly in us to wait for its execution before we attempt something for our own State. We dis- covered also, that many patriotic and enlightened sons of North Carolina, in that patriotic and enlightened body were averse to an enterprise which would carry the trade of these fertile regions, in both directions, immediately beyond the bor- ders of our State. They had long seen and deplored the want of a community of feeling and interest between the Western and Eastern portions of the State: they knew well as we all know, that our enfeebled condition is in a great measure OW- ing to this unnatural estrangement, and they strongly depre- cated a plan which was forever to perpetuate this state of things. They said they thought they could devise a scheme which would answer all the parposes of agriculture, and at the same time prevent this severance and alienation between brothers. They said it was true, that unless something was offered that might better claim our sanction, they had no right to stand in our way, and prevent us from helping ourselves in any such manner as we could with our own means: and that if this more favorable alternative was not offered to the West, they would acquiesce in the grant of the Charlotte and Dan- ville Charter. They pointed, also, to the fact when we should arrive at Richmond, we were still 180 miles from sea, and that such a market would, by no means, answer our agricul- tural productions. We, were therefore, called upon to pause, and we did pause to see what this alternative might be. Af- pose. This pledge, ter the scheme proposed in the Governor’s message was rejec- ted, and all hope of adjustment seemed to have vanished, this scheme of a Central Rail Road from Goldsboro’ to Charlotte was proposed by the Senator from New Hanover, with the advice and consent of some of us and other members of both Houses, from the East and the West. The leading features of this scheme are, to start at a point where the Rail Road that runs from Wilmington to the Roanoke River intersects with the Neuse, to wit, at or near Goldsboro’, in Wayne Coun- ty, (it being the head of navigation on that River.) thence to run through Raleigh and Salisbury to Charlotte. The act further provides that whenever one million of dollars is taken in stock by individuals, the State is to subscribe two millions. It also, makes a provision, by which the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road, (now the entire property of the State) will be sav- ed from utter ruin: this provision is, that one half of the stock of this road shall be su -endered to the former stockholders, and they be released from all their liabilities (which are very grievous) upon condition that they put five hundred thous: | and dollars worth of work upon the road. This central scheme, had the one advantage over all others ever proposed in the Councils of our State of drawing together and harmo- nising the discordant and long alienated divisions of our State. It presented the further advantage of falling in with the tide of travelling, and of supplying “the wanting link” in the vast chain of Rail Road that stretches (with this exception) from the Lakes to the waters of the Mississippi. It had the ad- vantage also, of conducting us (with only about twenty-five miles difference in distance) to Richmond, where our chosen scheme, the Danville improvement, proposed carrying us: and over and above this, to Petersburg, to Norfolk, to Raleigh, to Newbern, and to Wilmington. It promised to indemnify the State in the large outlays which had been made in the two Rail Roads already in operation, by bringing up the value of the stock. It called for much less money from individuals and therefore, seemed much more likely to succeed, than the other scheme. Norfolk, Newbern, and Wilmington, are all near the seaboard, and, are therefore, for all grain, much bet- | ter markets than Richmond could be. ticular, ts the best market for an interior country, of any port in the Southern States. Upon the whole, the alternative pro- posed in this scheme, embraced far more than we asked or ex- pected. Who that loved the Old North State? Who that rejoiced in her strength and pride of character, could halt be- tween opinions? Who could doubt or hesitate? We did not. We gave up at once, our preference for the Danville Charter, and in so doing, we think we have met the just ex- pectations of our constituents, and of all the friends of Wes. tern Carolina. We think too, that in so doing, we have open- ed a way for the redemption of our declining fortunes. Now, as to the practicability of the proposed scheme: from Charlotte, tothe Yadkin River, (46 miles) we know from per: =sona] observation, that the ground is highly favorable for the construction and keeping up a werk of this kind. A direct line between these points, would be well adapted to such a) road; but by deflecting either to the right or the left, we have a country that cannot be surpassed in suitableness, by any in the State, at the same distance from the sea. From Goldsboro’ to Raleigh, reckoned at 45 miles, there is a uniform plain, | nbounding in the very best timber. On both these sections, labor is cheap, and provisions plenty. The probability is, that in procuring the enactment of a Charter author- | patt. Allowitig for deviat filling, we will put the whole distance’ Charlotte at 210 miles, (thonogh many think it less) Taking off these 91 miles, there will be 119 miles intermediate, which is not so well adapted to this kind of improvement. There are many short hills and a considerable number of streams. But we have received positive assurance that the profile of this section is very nearly, if not quite as good; as that upon which the Charlotte and South Carolina road is located; and better than that over which the great Georgia roads are laid. These roads laid with heavy T iron, under the supervision of those accomplished engineers, the Garnetts, cost only thirteen thousand dollars per mule, including cars, depots, water sta- tions, work shops, offices, and in fact, every thing complete. But if we are safe in our first calculation, there will be enough money left of the proposed three millions to allow $15,958 per mile, for the intermediate 119 miles of difficult country. With the same skill employed in the surveys and estimates, we need not have the least fear, therefore, as to the sufficien- cy of the sum proposed in the Charter. Nor bave we the slightest doubt as to THE PROFITABLENESS or THE stock. In the first place, we will premise that the av- erage stock of all the Rail Roads in the United States pays a clear profit of seven per cent. We have the very best author- ity for saying this. The information is derived from the offi- cial reports of the Rail Road Companies published in that safe and cautious periodical, the Rail Road Journal. Again. we have the fact stated in the same Journal, and confirmed by many others, that there is no well made Rail Road in the United States, but what pays sta per cent. on its capital stock, and often more. Furthermore, we are equally well establish- ed in the fact that the Rail Roads in Georgia, (not one of which is finished) pay, and have been paying for three years past, between six and erght per cent. on the stock subscribed. Georgia is stretching her iron arms towards Nashville, in Ten- nessee ; Montgomery and Mobile, in Alabama, towards New Orleans, and is looking with anxious eyes towards Pensacola, in Florida. Congress has been invoked to assist in doing this last work, with some prospect of a favorable response. She has not, as yet, put herself in communion with either of these places, but no one doubts her ability to do so. As we said before, she is already making 7 per cent. profit; what will be Wilmington, in par- | the effect of completing these connexions, it is not possible even to conjecture. Whatever the result may be, it will eventually conduce to the value of our Road, for they form its Southwestern continuation. It is in fact, so much done for us. Look, then, to the accumulated masses of travelling custom which the North can pour down upon us. Look at the pur- suits, the institutions, and the social inducements within our own borders, that are strung along this route. All of these are destined to produce way travelling. This term is used to signify trips upon a part of a given road, without going through ite whole extent, and is generally far more profitable than what is called through travelling. Between Wilmington and Weldon, it amounts to more than double the income of the other, although the country over which it passes is generally barren, and unimproved. The late Governor of the State, a very cautious and intelligent gentleman, has shown by some statistics, which he laid before the General Assembly, that about four hundred thousand of the people of this State reside within fifty miles of the proposed work; we will add, that they are among the most thrifty and well informed of our citi- zens. Consider how much of this population will be put in motion on business within the State. There is the Mint at Charlotte, the Iron Mines and Furnaces in Lincoln, Gaston and Catawba. The Gold Mines in Mecklenburg, Union, Ca- barrus, Rowan, Davidson, Randolph, and Guilford. The Banks at Charlotte, Salisbury, Salem, Hillsborough, and Ra- leigh. The excellent Schools and Academies, (Male and Fe- male) in nearly every County in the whole line; and above all, the University of the State. There are the Courts and the Clerks Offices along the route, and the Supreme Court at Raleigh. The Legislature, the Governor’s Office, the Comp- troller’s and Secretary of States’ Office. The Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, and the Hospital for the Insane. There are all the Trades and Professions from one end of the proposed work to the other. There are the strong ties of a social and domestic character; all, all tending strongly and abundantly to create way travelling. How many of these 400,000 will have some surplus to send to market, and how many will go with it, is scarcely within the range of conjecture. Can any one doubt who looks at these these things, but that enough of travelling and other business will gather upon this Road to give it constant employment, and constant employment is synony- | mous with profitable employment. It may be said that the Wil- » mington Road if completed to Manchester, will take off so large | a share of the travelling as to leave the road unsupported. | That this route will take a share of the through travelling, is undeniable. But when we think of the vast amount of this kind of travelling that the boats on the Mississippi and the sea packets now carry, and reflect that most of this will inev- itably take a Rail Road whenever one is made throughout, we ought not to covet all this custom. That we shall have our share of it, the superiority of our climate, and the lively and interesting face of the country, with all its other natural ad- vantages, will amount to a full security. We shall, undoubt- | edly, obtain enough with the way travelling above suggested, | to make the investment a good one. | | These are considera- tions that mostly address themselves to the capitalists—to the | class of our citizens who have money, and are seeking to put | it out at a profitable rate of interest. | But there are considerations beside these that appeal strong- | ly to the bosom as well as the pocket of every farmer. Let him look to the fact that as things now stand he toils and sweats the year through, and lays up nothing at the end of it. His lands are wearing out for the want of a motive to pre- serve and improve them. His sons and daughters are grow- ing up without the benefits of a refined education because he has not the spare cash to send them to the higher Seminaries. His live stock are degenerating: His buildings and fences are going down: His neighbors and friends are leaving for the “far West,” and himself constantly growing more cap- MW pees = a’ prospec * - . ‘ os ‘oO 6 : ) ee dition. In i 3 first plac the expenditure Of th e millions c r ing classes will of itself produce a state of prosperity. Busi- ness will become brisk. The price of all kind of labor. will rise. Every species of produce will sell higher, and a gen- eral activity and spirit will prevail in all the departments of industry. Neither will these incidental advantages cease on the completion of the work: They will become less impor- tant, it is true, after operations shall have begun upon the road itself ; but even then hands will find employment in re- pairing and superintending the work, preparing fuel, attend- ing water stations, depots, &c., &c. These will sustain a limited but perpetual market all along the line. But then will come in also the great and more extended benefits for which the work was undertaken. Every thing that can be grown upon the farm—every thing that can be fashioned in the workshop, or made in"the factory—every mineral that can be dug from the earth, and every animal we rear from a chick- en to an ox can be sent speedily to some one of the many markets within our reach and sold at prices at least double those now obtained for them. In the mean time the farmer may keep his hands and horses at work upon his plantation— save the wear and tear and breakage of his wagons and gear and escape the hardship and exposure to which the present modes of transportation expose him. In connection with this part of our subject we would direct your attention to that most wonderful discovery of modern times THE TevecrarH. Itisa small piece of machinery with wires branching off in differ- ent directions along which the lightning is sent to carry news. Every Rail Road is obliged to have this invaluable appendage. By this means the state of the several markets can be known in a few seconds at any and every depot along the whole line: so that if corn or flour should take a sudden rise in Charles- ton, Wilmingion, Newbern. Norfolk, or Petersburg, the officer of the Rail Road at that place, or some confidential friend bas the Telegraph at Salisbury or Concord set to work, and before a man can walk to his stable, bring jout a horse and own county town. You see that this secures you against runners and speculators, and enables you to avail yourself of the best market in the very shortest time. But this is not the only benefit which the farmer may expect from this great undertaking. - The Increase in the Value of his Land is a consideration of great magnitude. Only a few days ago, it isa notorious fact that lands of a fair quality numbering several thousand acres lying in the county of ‘Davie. some seven or eight miles from the town of Salisbury, some of them on the Yadkin River, sold at public auction ona long credit for less than three dollars an acre. Such lands in the State of Georgia lying within seven or eight miles of any point of any of her Rail Roads would command at least twelve dollars an acre ; that a like appreciation will take place in these very lands and in all others similarly situated, if this road is made, cannot be doubted for a moment. We do not rest this asser- | tion upon mere conjecture: like results will follow from like causes all the world over: attend then to the following facts. The citizens of Wilmington subscribed to their Road as much as all their houses and lots were assessed at the year before. At the last assessment this same property was valued at more than double its former rate. Again, the Comptrollers books show that eight hundred thousand dollars of value has been added to the taxable lands in four counties through which the Wilmington Rail Road passes, since it has been put into ope- ration. The lands lying along the line of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road (although misfortune has beset this work in every other particular) have greatly increased in value.— The same thing can be said of the Charlotte and South Caro- lina Rail Road although there is not.yet a single mile of it brought into use. The lands between Haw River and the Catawba in point of natural fertility will compare favorably with any in the Atlantic States, and when the improved modes of husbandry which modern science and experience have de- veloped shall have been applied to them and this new stimu- lus shall have invigorated the industry of our agriculturalists what wonders of improvement may we not expect to see in this favored region. This enhancement in the value of our real estates will not be confined to the course of the projected Rail Road: It is well known to us and to most of you that the Yadkin river above the Narrows for 150 miles can be made navigable for steam boats at a very small expense. There is no part of any river in the United States thus remote from the sea except the Mississippi and its tributaries that can compare with it in their natural states, and if it had not been for the insuperable barriers which the slate mountains below us have placed in its current and the shallowness of the bar at its mouth it would long ago have become the great highway of commerce. When it shall be reached with the great work we are now contemplating the cherished hope of half a cen- | tury will be realised. The rich bottoms of this beautiful stream and its tributaries will discharge their teeming con- tents through this artificial channel while the lands themselves will be greatly increased in value. The counties of Rowan, «Davidson, Davie and Stokes, that border on the Yadkin and the counties of Surry and Wilkes, which it bisects, will find their account, therefore, in forwarding an undertaking that promises so glorious a result for them. What other hope | have they for redemption from their present depressed con- dition? We forbear to dwell longer upon the cheering pros- pect which this view of the subject opens upon our vision. But it will be asked how is the one million required of in- dividuals to be raised? How are farmers expected to sub- scribe for stock when it is known, that from causes already pointed out by us, there is but little money among them 7 We will answer this inquiry by saying in round terms that they may take stock and pay for it without paying any thing in money except the five per cent required to be advanced at the time of subscribing : beyond that sum they need not be called upon to advance another cent. There are thousands of slaves in North Carolina whose labor from the causes adverted to, is utterly unprofitable to their owners. Should these slave own- Af dollars-antong. the labor} ~engaged, eenscah saddle him for a journey, the same fact is made public in your. | _ a plan so liberal and comprehensive. - : Mat ier Hat ever slave 1. i* At. the estimates on the most profitable employment 4 few miles of Rail Road would keep & whole gg bothood in employment for a year oF 80, “The most an: tory assorances will be given. by the Commissioners wy oy , the subscriptions that subscribers shall in all cases be gay, red in letting out contracts, © It isnot. in this business ge. in some other badly managed concerns, t CTAClS aig ; to the lowest bidder, independent of his skMT or abitityg: other consideration.

The two millions .which the & pays will render it quite convenient for this arrangement be made in every instance; and we can vouch that it wil made in every instance where it is desired. But we ha heard it objected that the work will be begun at Goldshoy far in the East, and that it will be a long time before wey have any of these promised benefits. To this, we angug that in all probability the work will be begun at Raleigh) move towards the West directly ; and as soon as the South! olina Road is finished to Charlotte, it is believed that ¢ tions will begin at that point, also. Our ground for the fi opinion is, that the State is now the sole proprietor of theR leigh and Gaston Road; it has hitherto been a losing conee but as soon as the Western trade shall be opened upon it is manifest that it will begin to revive. It is, therefore,e ad ly the true policy of the State thus to begin, and thusto on the work. The State will have by means of its sap amount of stock a controlling voice in directing the affairs this company, and we may be sure the undeviating princip of self interest will in this case, as in all others, prevail. Og ground for believing that the work will be begun at Charlot at a proper time, is that, in all the conversations we had influential and leading men in the East, it was concededt as so little had ever come from the State Treasury to part of the State, we had a right to insist upon an early plication of the benefits of this work to our present neces ties. The just and liberal feeling of the present Governor wards the West, and the exalted character of his Cound Jeave us no ground to apprehend that any of our reasonal demands will be refused. We, your Representatives, in the General Assembly, we have done our duty in bringing before our fellow-citia It now remains fort people to do their duty. If the undertaking shall fail no the longest liver amongst us need never expect to witness recurrence of such another offer.

There is too much stake to doubt of success. The response throughout thee try thus far has been encouraging, and on every hand we he of preparations being made for a mighty effort. Able‘ patriotic men are taking up the matter in earnest: a spirit enquiry is extending itself—real estate is already begi to rise in value, and the prospect around us is brightening Let us then lift up our hearts in the fervent hope that « The best of our days are coming.” With the utmost respect your ob’t servants, JOHN A.

Mr. Violitter has lately presented to the Academy of ence in Paris, a very able communication on the dessicat of different kinds of wood by steam. He stated that raised to 482 deg. Fah. was capable of taking up 47 able quantity of water, and acting upon this knowle submitted different kinds of oak, elm, pine and walnut, 2 8 inches long and half an inch square to a current of stea® 74 pounds pressure to the square inch, but which was th wards raised to 482 degrees. The wood was exposed . for two hours. It was weighed before it was exposed 0 steam and afterwards put into close stopped bottles until when the samples of wood were again weighed an “ a considerable loss of weight, the loss of which incre the increase of the temperature of the steam. For ¢€ oak the decrease in weight was one half ash and Wa", fifths, and pine one third. The woods underwent ® | of color as the heat was rising from 892 degrees to onl walnut became very dark, showing a kind of tar, forme the wood by the process, which was found to have 4 P ing effect on the wood. / be it was found that wood thus treated became strong ing an increase in the power of resisting fracture: The imum heat for producing the best resisting the fracture Fy er for elm was between 302 and 347 degrees, 8” 257 and 302 for the oak, walnut and pine. The oak ¥# creased in strength five ninths, walnut one half, two ft pine, and more than one fifth for elm.

Repo Legislative Gouncil of Wisconsin. (concLUDED.) Durability of Plank Roads. This is a question of no small magnitude, determining the value of this class of road im- provements, and the expediency of adopting ue Of course the durability of plank roads is de- pendent, in a very considerable degree, upon the amount of travel upon them, and other con- tingent circumstances. One efficient means | of protecting the plank against wear by abra. | sion, is the covering them with an inch or two of sand or earib— the grit of which, combined with the excrement of the animals and the fi- brea of the wood, protects the plank from the corks of the horses’ shues and the bruises of | the wheels, and furms a hard coating of grit, fibre, &c., of three-fourths of an inch to one inch ia thickness, which it is difficult for either cork or wheel to disturb. Mr. Gzowski calculates the wear by abrasion at the rate of one-fourth of an inch in two years; and asplanking will | not break through until one and a half to two inches of surface is worn away, it follows from this tbat the duration of the plank will be eight years. But this calculation is based upon the supposition that the planking is of pine or other soft wood ; oak will of course Jast from twenty to ffiy per cent. longer. According to the ex. perience of the Salina company, plank from three to fuur inches in thickness will wear fron seven to twelve years; although Mr. Al. vord, of that company, thinks, as above stated that our Wisconsin oak might endure twelve or fifteen years. The wear and tear of the first year is said to be equal to that of the seven succeeding years: and Mr. Gzowski says the repairs of the first year are double those of any succeeding one, until the road comes to need replanking. Cost of Plank Roads. This, too, is a consideration of no small mo. ment, in deciding upon the adoption of this spe- cies of road improvement. ‘Their cost will necessarily depend much on the physical char. | acteristics of the country,and the facilities of obtaining suitable timber. And much also | depends upon economical management. All the expenditures on the Salina road seem to have beeu husbanded to the best advantage.— AsMr. Alvord remarks, they built it themselves —that is, they superintended it themselves, hired their workmen by the day, bought their | teams, tools, &c.; and he feels ** satisfied that this is ihe true way,’ not only to save expense | but to secure a more substantial structure than could be expected through the agency of con. tractors. The most expensive plank road of which we have any particulars, is that from | | rt on Plunk Roads made by Mr. Put | zo Wure, February 11, 1848, in the =~ | base an estimate, any ready reckoner can cal. | ness of the estimate we present below, of a sin. | gle track plank road, 8 feet wide. built in ac- that roads of this charactor, of a capacity sufh- _ lumber costs $6 per M., and the whole expen. ‘the Salina road, the directors are authorized to selves of the maximum rates of toll allowed, but Port Stanley to London, Canada West, the ave. rage of which was $4.000 per mile. But they were uvnfortunate in their route,—having fre- quently to make beavy excavations for a dis. tance often miles, with a necessily of construct- ing seventeen bridges on the entire line, and having to procure their plank from the State of Michigan, at a cost of $24 per M; their road, too, is of unnecessarily large dimensions, he. ing sixteen feet at some points, and twelve feet | in width at others, with 4 by 6 inch stoff for | sills. ‘The average cost of a// the Canadian roads, however, is stated by Mr. Gzowski at about $3,500 per mile. But when it is recol. | lected that these Canadian roads are one-third , larger than the modern structures in Western New York, and at least one-sixth more expen. sive than those constructed in accordance with American iinprovements and economy, (as ex- emplified by Messrs. Geddes and Alvord’s man- agement of the Salina road,) it is evident that the average might be reduced to less than | per mile. Although it is doubtless to be attributed to favoring circumstances, that the Salina road was constructed so cheaply—the ac/val expen. diture being on an average only $1,487 per mile—yet we perceive that the esfrmate of the cost of the Rome and Oswego road is even less —only $1,250 per mile ; the difference in their favor, however, consists in the low price of hemlock plank, which seems to have cost them only $3 50 to 84 00 per mile; and, moreover, they built upon an old road-way, with very lit. le expense for grading, &c. What was the actual expenditure on this road, we have not been advised. Mr. Geddes, the engineer, made the fullow- ing estimate of the average. Cost per mie of the Salina Road : Sills, 4 by 4 inch scantling, 14,080ft. Plank 8 feet long, 4inches thick. 168,920ft.

Mr. Judson estimates the cost of a road, *™ made of hemlock plank four inches thick, the track fourteen feet wide, with a carriage way to turn out on each side, having five good string- “@ts sit by eight inches in size, all complete, at bout $2,500 per mile.” But Mr. J. wrote Pur years ago! and his fancy road is six feet eo wide, with three stringers too many in num. t, one-third too large in size ; so that his es- » after scaling down his road to modern Mensions, (say eight feet track, with only two “ringers of four-by four inch scantling,) would Rot vary materially from that of Mr. Geddes of Salina road, about $1,400 per mile. r.

It is laid upon a traveled roadway ; the diture will not exceed an average of $1,500. per mile. Tolls. It is suggested by those most experienced in | the management of plank roads that the tolls be so regulated as to blend the interests of the owners and the public. By the character of levy a toll of two cents a mile for a two-horse vehicle; but as itis their interest to encour. age such an amount of travel as will insure the wearing out rather than the rotting out of the plank, and as a light tariff will bring a heavy revenue, they have thus far never availed them: have only charged one and a half cents per mile in summer, and one cent in the winter.

Now in view of the facts and suggestions, it must readily occur to every farmer, within a reasonable distance of the line of a plank road that he can better afford to take stock in such a company than any other of our industrial classes, because he can more cheaply pay for his shares—by working them out on the road.

Speed, Draught, Etc. Over the Port Stanly and London road, (Ca- nada West.) two-horse light wagons, with five lo six passengers, travel at the rate of eight | miles an hour with perfect ease ; and two horses | in a lumber wagon usualy haul two tons (forty | hundred) at a load. Andon London and Brant. | ford road, two-horse teams invariably carry six. | teen barrels of flower each, at a load, from , Woodstock mills, 52 miles. The motion of a carriage over these roads is said to be similar to that on a solidly beaten snow track. Plank Roads preferred by Farmers. | It is a prevalent opinion among those who | are unadvised of the capabilities of plank roads, that when Wisconsin comes to be traversed by rail roads, and planked ways will in a good measure be superseded in their usefulness.— | But your committee are fully persuaded that this idea is entirely erroneous. Halfa dozenrail. | roads leading into a market town, would not ob- | | t viate the necessity of a good road for wagons in | all seasons, toa distance of thirty miles at least Railroads, can never be made | to “take the place of teams for the transporta. | tion of grain,” &c., within one day’s drive of a market, “because the farmer can carry the | cheapest for that distance.” There are sea. | sons when work is slack with almost every | farmer; yet his teams are daily consuming as | much food at such times, as when fully em- ployed. Availing himself of these seasons, he can haul his produce to market with a few shil- lings’ expense in addition to what would have been incurred had his teams remained idle in their stalls. Yourcommittee have recurred more frequent. ly to the Salina road than to any other, as the basis of their remarks and calculations, be. | well with regard to the solidity of its structure and the economy with which it was laid down gineer and superintendent. The suggestions of those gentlemen in this connection, there- fore, are entitled to much consideration. They recommend thet the work on plank roads be competent as an engineer, and capable of di. | recting the whole of the operations, be placed | in charge of the works. They became satisfied | | from their observation in Canada and their ex- | perience afterwards at home, that in this way | ithe foundation of a plank road can be more | _ the very same circumstances which would ground. |me” my impression is vivid that the posi- the question is asked with thrilling inter- /est * Will the charter be secured?” Ona subject of so much comprehensive impor- tance, | imagine any remarks containing | neither personal nor political reflections, respectfully tendered, will cheerfully, re- ceive a place in your columns. An idea has become very generally cur- rent that the passage of Rail Roadsthrough villages and interior towns, affect injuri- ously the value of real estate in them, by diverting the trade to points possessing greater commercial facilities. This opin- ion Lam induced to believe, has even now, operated to determine the capitalists of Salisbury to close their purses against the promotion of the scheme. The view is correct or otherwise according to circum- stances. In densely populated countries | where villages spring up at small inter- vals to supply the conveniences of every neighborhood, the tendency of Rail Roads being in a great measure to bring points comparatively remote into close commer- cial contact, they must produce the re- sults, alluded to above. But Western |North Carolina contains a very sparce population compared with its capabilities | to furnish the means of subsistence and | objects of profitable labor. A Rail Road | passing through must from the very na- ture of things, exert the very same influ- | ence that a navigable stream does, run-| ning by an interior town. will strike any man who reflects upon the | subject a moment, with force.

If Iam. the whole argument falls to the “From the present lights before | tion is correct. The next point is to de- nutely the character and extent of the country by which we are surrounded, the productiveness of the soil. the pursuits of the inhabitants, and our relationship to! other villages in the Western and North- western portions of our State. | Strike a line from Salisbury due west to the borders of Tennessee, and another due north to those of Virginia, and all that seope of country. lying between those two lines diverging from this point, bound- ed by the limits of fennessee on the West cmemeeeen eee = and Virginia on the North, if it seek an outlet for its trade by the avenue which will be opened by the construction of the proposed Rail Road must, from “ the force of etrcumstances,” make Salisbury its de- pot or its market. It must'do so, for the reason, that at this point, the route diver- ges from its Westerly direction and forms a right angle by taking a due Southern course. Hence this place possesses the advantage of proximity to the region above described, which of itself, all things else being equal, must fix the trade here.

Indeed even now, it | draws to no inconsiderable extent its com- mercial supplies from this place. Scat- , tered over the whole of this vast area, we find small dealers whose capital will not justify the expense of a trip to New York, who do their trading exclusively with our merchants, and from this kind of trafic Salisbury has derived its present prosper- ity. They are country dealers and do a bartering business, taking from their cus. | tomers in exchange for goods whatever | will meet with a ready sale here. Give | us then the advantage of a Rail Road con- necting us with the Northern cities, and will it not at once make Salisbury to this | region what Memphis and the other large | towns on the Mississippi are to the back country they supply 7} But it may be said the territory of which this would be the. emporium, is neither so extensive nor pro. | ductive as that of the towns to which it. is compared. I believe in point of fertili- ty it will compare with any region in the United States, and with reference to ex- tent it is absolutely greater than that of any other interior town in the Southern, which I can at present recall to my mind. The rich lards of Davie, Iredell and Row- an asa body are unsurpassed, and but give their proprietors the facilities of a. market for their productions and their for- invite them to greater diligence with a golden bribe as the reward of industry.— Science will be introduced, agriculture will become a study.

Every man's means will be increased, and in proportion that his ca- pacity to gratify his wants are enlarged, his desires will be expanded. Such is hu- man nature, for such has been its history. | The effect, inevitable, of all this will be, that three times the amount of surplus. productions will be exposed for sale at an increased price, and that whereas be- fore only a portion of it came here, in the. event of a Rail Road running through our streets, it must all do so, either to find a depot or amarket. This must increase the commerce of Salisbury at least five. | fold, and in doing must double the pre- , sent value of real estate. I appeal to the merchants, capitalists, and property holders of Salisbury, to know if this view of the subject is not correct. If it is not, I ask them through your col- ums to assign the reasons. But if it be true, asa mere matter of dollars and cents, throwing out of view all considerations of patriotism, State pride, &c., ought they not to subscribe. I assume, as a proposi- tion that will be conceded, that if I goto ‘him that the debt will be amply secured, and we agree upon the rate of interest, he will not hesitate to advance the money. But in this case the inducements to take in or near this place, are greater than any man seeking a loan can proffer who de- | Suppose one who owns a house and lot in town worth one thousand dol- lars, subscribes five hundred to the Rail Road, and when the cars commence run- | ning the value of his premises is raised to fifteen hundred, what has hethen?

Does any man doubt that the value of property will be increased at least in that ratio. If he does, he has but to make inquiries, and he will find that even the passage of the Bill granting the charter has already advanced the price of real estate some ten or fifteen per cent. I have , made these remarks simply to show that men of substance in this community as a | mere pecuniary operation, ought to step forward promptly and take shares. They cannot lose, and must be advantaged by the operation. One thing, however, is very certain, if we do not seize the present opportunity to secure the very liberal charter proffered by the last Legislature, the doom of Wes- tern North Carolina is fixed, and her des- tiny for. next half century at least, must be irremediable obscurity—and we shall | bave none to blame but ourselves.

In that, three years were common, consisting of 365 dayseach. Every fourth year the 24th of February was reckoned twice. It added a day to the year, but not to the month; i. e., it was re- garded as having the same number of days as before ; one day was the 24th and the next the 24th, and being the 6th of the Ides of March, and reckoned twice, was hence called bis-sextile, or twice-sizth year. We add this day now at the end of February, every fourth year, making 29 days in the month, and 366 days in that year. This system prevailed a long time, generally in use in Europe ; and to this day, in Russia. But at length it was found that the civil year was too long for the year | In A. D. 325, | at the time of the Council of Nice, the vernal equinox fell on the 21st of March, but in 1582, it was found that the Equinox came ten days earlier in the year than in 325. Pope Gregory XIII. dropped ten days out of the month of October, ordering the 5th to be called the 15th. This is called the new style, and the former going on unchanged in Russia, is old style. This change, however, did not prevail immediately in all the Countries of Europe that now follow the United States. It is 267 years since it began, but was adopted in England, and of course in this Country, in 1752.— This was done by anactof Parliament. And asit may be a curiosity to some, we will give a copy of it: An Act for regulating the commencement of the year; and for correcting the Calendar now in usc.

Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, in his speech delivered on Saturday last, made an allu- | sion that drew from the famous Mr. Wil- mot, a statement, of which we have tvai- | ted to see some detailed report; but:we have received none more minute than the following, ina letter to the N. Y. Tribune : “WasuincTon, Saturday, Feb. 17. “Mr. Stephens, in the course of his thril- ling speech to-day having alluded to a : pledge given to Mr. Wilmot by Mr. Polk © in regard to the extension of Slavegy into the New Territories, Mr. Wilmot obtain- ed the floor next after Mr. Lahm. of Ohio, and proceeded to make the following ex- planation : He (Mr. W.) called upon the President some two years since in reference to his famous Proviso, upon an intimation that the President wisbed to concur with him, Mr. Polk opened the subject by informing Mr. W. of his deep anxiety for the-passage of the Three Million bill, and saying that he considered the Proviso the great obsta- cle to such passage. Mr. W. demurred that he doubted whether the appropriation of Three Millions of Dollars for the avows ed purpose of enabling the President to make Peace would rather impede than facilitate a Treaty, being regarded as an attempt to bribe the Mexican rulers. Mr. Polk replied, rather forcibly, that he was probably better informed on that subject |than Mr. W. could well be, as he had fre- quent communications with the leading | personages in Mexico.—Mr. Wilmot then |said that he had no desire to embarrass ‘the Administration, nor to protract the | War; and that, if he could be sure of ac- _complishing in some other way the great ,end of prohibiting the extension of slave- ry, he would choose that other way. He would as soon put the Proviso in the form of a Joint Resolution, and press it in that form, if that would effect the same end. Mr. Polk hoped he would do so, and bee lieved that in that form the resolation would not be unpopular in the South, not even in Mississippi. He denied that the South was anxious for the diffusion. of slavery, and said that for his own_part. he did not wish to see another foot of slave territory. He added: that he believed slavery could not be extended without en- dangering the harmony and stability of the Union. “Such, said Mr. Wilmot, was the sub- stance of the President’s remarks to’ me on that occasion. | have only onee hefore spoken of it, and then to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Stephens.) but I did hot consider the conversation in its nature pri- vate, though he had not seen fit to speak of it till now. “What will the South say to this ?” From the Enquirer, of yesterday, we learn that Mr. Wilmot said that he had last session, communicated the fact of his conversation with the President to both Mr. Stephens and Mr. Woodward, of South Carolina. The Enquirer says— “ We have no late Washington papers, but Jearn from a gentleman of high char- acter, who arrived from Washington yes- terday, that the President has authorized Judge Bayly to state that the story is false. and Mr. Stephens is defied to make good his charge. It is not a strange spectacle to see Mr. Stephens, the fire-brand and factious agitator from the South, so close- ly affiliated with the Barnburning incen- diary from the North! The coalition is a monstrous one, and the story concocted between two such spirits in itself comes oor April, A. D. a9 « His ministry lasted but little more than one year.— This is commonly supposed to have been 34 years, but before the world in “@giast questionable shape.” With the B&gaWent’s positivede- nial, it will, like another“ protocol,” serve to blow up the inventors.” 3 ae Wie a, 25 + Mige c.: - RPP Stephens, nnd therefore caine a to SA olare (NA he we f pt ae Se : ce crepeyarieey Mr, Cathoan's devo- | from Liverpool on the 10th instant, aod brings | ing sppoinime Si ee ly me ne ae "Rail Road, written *by |'s 4 lia ia two weeks’ later intelligence from Europe. dently ann , ae {rast ey that t d-good man, the Rev.

However lukewarm the friends of this measure may be at this moment, we are still firmly of opinion that it is bound to succeed ultimately. It is a work which our people and the peo- ple of Fayetteville need, and one which they mast and will have. be enacted in North Carolina. Such a provision would greatly redound to the | happiness and prosperity of a large ma- jority of our people, and powerfully tend to stay the flood of emigration that is sweeping over our borders. We shall avail ourself of a “ convenient season” to in us. In the mean time we present the views of Mr. Jefferson on this subject as _ we find them in an exchange: > We see published in the last Fay- etteville Carolinian, a communication signed, “Sawny McShure,” in which the citizens of that Town are taken roundly totask, forthe “ masterly inactivity” which pervades the whole community on the subject of the Plank Road and internal improvements generally. ‘The sentiments expressed will not only apply to Fayette- Ville, but to many other places we know of. To build eithera Plank Road or Rail Road there must be something else done besides talking. There must be action. Men must give their money. We may give the communication in our next. It is written in a flowing, free and easy style. sad calculated to open the eyes of all to the importance of doing something be- tides everlastingly talking. When the war is over, and our free- dom won, the people must make a new declaration ; they must declare the rights of man, the individual, sacred above all craft in priesthood or governments—they must, at one blow, put an end to all the _trickeries of English law, which, garner- ed up in the charnels of ages, binds the heart and will with lies. They must per- petuate republican truth, by making the homestead of every man a holy thing, which no law can touch, no juggle wrest from his wife and children. Until this is done, the Revolution will have been fought in vain.—Thomas Jefferson. little incidents connected with Gen. Tay- _lor’s visit to Washington, gives the fullow- ing specimen of facetiousness perpetrated by the President elect : Among others who introduced them- selves, was one of the ubiquitous Smith family. On hearing the name, General Taylor, remarked, witha merry twinkling of the eye. * That’s noname atall.” ‘Why, General” replied Mr. Smith, “ you should not have any objection to the name—Mrs. Taylor was a Smith.” “ Yes,” added he promptly, “ but I made her change her name, and | advise you to doso too.” His manner to all, entirely without effort, was exceedingly happy.

Yet what an illustration it is of the fate of that young man, who is fastened in the murderous vice of intem. id thass—* Of 204 cases of Cholera in the Park ‘| the otfiers, when Ke wrote, had died, ‘and that dead. an Hospital, there were only six temperance per. sons and those Rad recovered,’ whilé 122 of the facts were, similar in all the other hospitals,’ Ia Albany, states Dr. Mussay, duriag the same season, ‘ Cholera prevailed for several weeks, attended with a severe mortallity: and it ie a remarkable fact that, during its whole period, it isnot known that more than two individuals out of 5,000 members of the Temperance soci- eties, in that city, became its victims.’ A phy- sician of Warsaw observes, That the disease spared all those who led regular lives, and re- sided in a healthy situation; whereas, they whose constitutions had been broken down by excess and dissipation, were invariably attack- ed. Out of one hundred individuals destroyed by cholera, it was proved that ninety had been addicted to the free use of ardent spirits.’ Mr. Huber, who saw 2,160 perish in twenty-five days, in one town, in Russia, says, ‘Itis a most perance, and who is approaching the terrible death which its slow fire will inevitably bring upon him. He is in a worse condition than the man held down by the burning tree; for that one knew of bis situation; but the drun- kard heeds not the fire that is gaining upon him, and regards not the deathhold with which his enemy is crushing him. Instead of realizing | his danger, and calling for human help, he laughs , at those who would warn him of his situation, | and, scorning their entreaties, he sinks beneath | the fiery element which is destroying both soul | and body.

A TEMPERANCE TOWN. Early last spring a few individuals proposed | purchasing a tract of about 30 acres of land, on | the line of the Harlem Railroad, within conve. | nient distance of this city. Their object was) to divide the land into about one acre lots, erect | dwellings, and make it their future home, and | thus enable their families to enjoy the open air of the country, removed from the vices and al. | lurements of a great city, and still attend to | their usual business avocations. | As soon as this movement became known | among the workshops, the number speedily in. creased to over 200, the result of which has | been the purchase of a tract of 200 acres of | land, from Gouverneur Morris Esq., of Morris. | ania, which has been laid out into streets and | avenues, and on account of the large number. of applicants, into quarter, half, and acre lots. The purchasers formed an association in taking | their lots, stipulating that no ardent spirits should be bought, sold, or drank on their respective premises, and that within three years they | would erect dwellings of no Jess than $300 val. | ue upon them. Arrangements have been made with the Har. | lem Railroad to go into operation next spring, | for running an early and late train expressly | fur the accommodation of this village ; and al. | ready the work of turnpiking five or six miles | of streets and avenues, and the building of hou- , ses, have been commenced.— New York Sun. | | NO LICENSE IN NEW HAVEN. | It will be seen by the following resolution which we cut from the New Haven Palladium | that the * Board” vetoed the rum traffic in that | city for one year. We venture to predict that. those members of the Board who voted for the resolution below will never regret having done | it: ‘ At the annual meeting of the Civil Author. | ity, Select men, Grand Jurors, and Constables, | held at the Town Clerks office, on Monday | evening, January 8th, 1848, the following pre. | amble and resolution were adopted by a very | large majority—there being more than fifty | members of the Board present. | ‘Whereas, The sale of intoxicating drinks in this community is productive of immense | mischief to the physical and moral interests of | our citizens, and especially pernicious in its | influence upon the rising generation, and where. as the laws of this State authorizing this Board | to nominate persons to be Taverners are so constructed that we cannot confer that privi- | lege without necessarily authorizing this de. structive traffic ; therefure ‘Resolved, That in view of the foregoing | facts, and because the evil we wish to prevent is as much to be deplored in genteel hotels as | elsewhere, it is inexpedient to make any nom. | inations for Taverners for this town for the year ensuing.’ TEMPERANCE SERMON. The Hartford Fountain, of the 19th ultimo, says: ‘Last Sabbath Temperance sermons were preached in most of the churches in this city, | and if they were all of the character of the one | we heard from Rev. Walter Clarke, of the South Congregational Church, we shall have a shaking among the dry bones here. We hope to publish Mr. Clarke’s sermon in our next number, and several thousand extra copies ought to be circulated in the cilies and towns | of our State. It is just what is needed, to) rouse the very class of persons who, of all oth. | ers, are able to push forward our enterprise, | and the startling facets and eloquent appeals | which it contains, render it a desirable docu. | ment to be placed in every family in the land.’ CHOLERA! CHOLERA! In England the cholera made most appalling | ravages among the ranks of the intemperate. A volume might be filled with facts of this kind. The Morning Herald, of that period, thus Te. marks on this fact; ‘ The same preference for the intemperate and unclean has characterized | Intemperance is a lifieation which it never overlooks. Often bas it passed harmless a wide population of tem- | perate country people, and poured down, as | an overflowing scourge, upon the drunkards of some distant town.’ Another English pub- } ' lication remarks : ‘All experience, both in | | of the latest and Newest Styles, which have been selec- ' as we feel satisfied we can offer inducements to purcha- ' Mabry, Lexington; D. Honneycutt, Gold Hill; and remarkable circumstance that persons given to drinking have been swept away like flies. In Tiflis, containing 20,000 inhabitants, every drunkard has fallen; all are dead ; not one re- mains.’ The above we have extracted from ‘ Bacchus’ a prize essay. We might add pages equally conclusive, but it is unnecessary; none who take the trouble to investigate can be ignorant of the fact that such was the fearful result of cholera, when it first visted this country. What, then, is the conclusion of the whole matter? First : Ifthe cholera should generally prevail in this country, great numbers of drunkards, hard drinkers, and persons of dissolute habits, will in all probability, be the earliest victims. Second: The best preventive of cholera is tem- perance and regularity of life. NEW GOODS ! The largest and best selection yet, and Cheaper than ever.

Mr, Editor: I have seen a great deal in the papers lately, in favor ofthe Piank Road; and though you yourself may be an advocate of if, | hope you are not on: that account unwilling to hear something on the opposite side. iy may be that we take a deep interest in Froad ; but we dont take much stock ! and Meeecret of the matter is,that we will not a a Sethe road on any terms; andI think we h Pas well stop talking about it at once, lest we make ourselves, if possible, more sidicu- | | Jous than we are now. If we bad held our tongues, we might have Jived on in ease and obscurity; aud at least escaped making ourselves a Janghing stock.— But no! we must need be talking of internal improvements ; charging our State with nar. row minded policy, and boasting what we could do if she would only give usa start. Little did we suspect she would so soon put us to the test. But unfortunately she has taken in ear- nest, what it now appears was mere bravado ; and we are now caught io our own trap; the words of our own mouths condemn us. Our State has given us the character and the 120,. 000, and is now looking to us to complete the subscription of stock and build the road. Here we are, then, fairly committed before the State for 80,000! dollars; pledged to un- dertake the management of $200,000! (not to mention the trouble of constructing the road it- self) when in fact we had not, as I believe, any serious idea, either of doing the work ourselves or having it done for us, if we could avoid it. And here we stand, utterly confounded at our access ; unable to go ahead, and yet ashamed to goback, Truly our position is painfully dis- tressiog. And after all, I think our punish. ment is greaterthan we deserve. I admit that we bave of late made considerable parade of words, and complained too much. But then the State might have known “it was just a way we bad”; at all events, the management of this immense sum of money, and the road into | the bargain, is surely too severe a penalty for | merely gasconading a little and slandering one’s State. compelled to have this road. I, for one, ain opposed to it. My principles are conservative ; and without a full and clear demonstration of | advantage to myse/f I will not aid or counten. | ance any alterations of the old order of things. | I need not tell you that this road, or any thing dbat involves the expenditure of money, is pri- ma facie at variance with al] our principles of thought and deed; but postponing details, I will content myself at present with three gen- eral propositions,— That we do not desire the road; that we have a natural distaste for heavy business transaction; and that we ebould be driven to our wits end by the inundation of trade which it would inevitably briny upon us. We are a quiet, plodding race, minding our own business, where we have any to mind; \ | a i ms tig G TESTES ca aS ge te iy ! ~ : a> 4 e ttt BBs pr lar ge eet ae BRUNER & JAMES, — Editors & Proprietors.

We have been accustomed to consider cacals as the cheapest means of commu- | nication and conveyance through the in- terior of a country. At present an opin- ion is well established by experience in Great Britain and our own country, where trial has been made in the greatest extent and perfection, that the raileroad is on many accounts superior, and ought to be preferred. The evidence now within our power is fortunately so full and conclu. | sive, that to have our doubts removed, we need only to examine it for ourselves.— After the failures and disappointments which North Carolina has suffered in her past efforts, we shall at least have learn- | ed the valuable lesson, to inquire faithful- ly, and arrive at a full knowledge, before an application of the public fands. Bya small expenditure properly directly in the employment of an Engineer, such as may be easily had in the United States, before commencing a public work, every thing relating toit may be estimated and fully as- certained to the satisfaction of all. This is the mode of doing such business, practised in other states and other parts of the world, where works of this kind are carried on. Such men as Judge Wright. James Ged- des, and many others, who have been long proved to possess practical skill and integ- rity in their profession as Civil Engineers, are at any time attainable upon proper inquiry, and a reasonable compensation for their services. Nor should a single step be taken in commencing any work, firmly set ayainst risks, and contenting our. | selves with the drippings of trade, rather than hazzard a dollar in an uncertain effort to turn the main currentin our owndirection. In fact we should feel rather nervous if we saw it com. ing of itselt. We have never injured our neigh. | bours by enticing away their trade, nor excited so essential to them be wholly set | . . | Stance so € ; y ' pavement laid down upon the other side. their envy or jealousy by any exhibition of) splendor in our town arrangements. Indeed | eral rule for determining the proportion so remarkable are we in this respect, that we | have seen Wilmington and Raleigh going up, year after year, without a single effort of rival- 5 until it is completely determined what are Be this as it may. we are nat! the terms, what are the means, and what Ma are the advantages. We have had enough of precipitation, of unqualified undertak- ers, of schemes heedlessly commenced and then deserted in a half-finished state, and altogether enough of wasted supplies. This unfortunate mode of prosecuting plans of public improvement is rarely if ever witnessed in other countries, and there is not the least necessity for it here. In the remarks now to be made, the object is to show in what respects rail- roads are preferable to canals. 1. It is cbvious that in determining the course of a canal we must be continually hampered by the necessity of carrying it where there will be at all,times a sure and suilicient supply of water. This oc- casions the meandering of canals along | the banks of rivers, and leading them to |. intersect streams at proper places, so that | would be necessary, could this circum- | aside. It is not possible to give any gen- | of the whole line of a canal necessarily | | lost with a view to securing the proper | ry or any overt act of selfishness whatever.— | We are essentially a philosophical people: | having but little faith in the theory of internal , improvemeuts, and preferring smoke to steam. In short we are wedded to our tranquility, and | we will not be divorced. With these facts in view, docs it not seem plain that we are constitutionally unfit to as- fume so heavy a responsibility as this road would impose-upon us? In truth we are sore- ly puzzled what to do withthis money. It sur- prises us just as King Stork did the Frogs : We would fain retreat from the public atten- tion we have attracied, and retire to our old stand, which, if it was obscure, was at least safe. And sir, you'll see, we will do it; it is Mortifying in the extreme, but there is no help for it. We are not made for great things, and ‘single object. we had better back out at once, than make any | farther .display of our incapacity. [ always said we would not succeed in any of our schemes ; I said so of the Rail Road, and it failed. I saidsoofthe canal. I said so of this Plank Road, and, though, the chief reason I assigned for the prediction, viz: that the State Would never take the stock, has proved a mis- take, yet as tothe main result, you will see I was right. Here’s our great Hotel, too, I said it would be a failure, from the start.— Aud how has it turned out?) Why after nar. Bowly escaping the fate of the ancient Babel, Mis at last finished? and none of us are wil- Jing or able to take charge of it. ‘Thus it stands, towering above all ground, like a Gi- taffe in a flock of goats ; and likely to remain a selent but expressive monument of our weak- bess. You see then, that itis a fixed and un. ‘@eniable truth, that we are constitutionally a- ,Nerse to progress, and bent on remaining as we @re; and that so far from intending to build this road ourselves, we would shrink trom it, if «it were given to us wilhout expense, and free of toll! » [ hope, however, that the lesson we have res ceived will make us more careful in future.— Or, there is no telling but the State may take all the stock and build the road in spite of us ; ad then sir, Ichabod! Ichabod! farewell to » Our long days and nights gf ease. No more shutting up at meal times; no rest for clerks; 20 lony Pipes after dinner; no time for social Conversation at the street-corners ; no pleasant ng about the market,; but all hurry, bus- We and turmoil. Ah, sir, [tremble at the thought. 8Y Our good genius preserve us from such a Tevolution, Yours truly, SAWNY McSHURE. Arrival Extraordinary.—A small craft, from .ody’s Island, N. C., arrived at Norfolk on onday last, with a cargo of Terrapins, num. Ting about twenty-five hundred. What has become of the law for protection of Ls foco Legislature of 1827, quantity of water. It must differ accord- ing to the circumstances of every case.— | Perhaps, however, it would not be extrav- | agant to say, with regard to canals of | much extent, that at least one fourth, if: not one third, is likely to be added by this It was estimated by the United States Engineers, that a canal from | Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, to pass by Washington to Baltimore, must be three hundred and ninety miles in length. By the same report, a rail-road from Balti. more to the Ohio would not be more than | two hundred and fifty miles. In this in- | stance the rail-way is only five eighths of the canal in length. In this distance of | three hundredand ninety miles by a canal, one hundred and forty miles are saved by resorting to the rail road. An exactly similar difference will evidently not apply in other examples, but this is one to show what an excess in length, and consequent- ly in expense, is sometimes incurred by a canal on account of water, beyond what is necessary toa rail road. Let us re- member, too, that such a difference has its effects, not only in the first construction and expense of a canal, but in all travel- ling and transportation upon if, and inthe maintenance of it in repair through all future time. It ought not to be omitted also, that when the repairing of a canal becomes necessary, it is far more difficult, expensive, and interrupting to business, than that of a rail road. 2. It is proved by experience that upon an average cof one mile with another, a rail road is less costly in its construction than acanal. Itis found in England, and | | | | | { | dence will hereafter be given to the satis- faction of every man who would ingenu- ously and diligently inquire into this most important and interesting subject. It has been common to remark, and it bas been until lately received as a maxim, that con- veyance by water must always be less expensive than conveyance by land. This _ did continue true till by the perfection now attained in the construction of roads and | carriages, it is no longer correct ina com- parison of rail roads and canals. Let it be considered that by firmness and solidi- ty of construction in rail roads, burden to any amount may be carried upon them without damage to the road, and by the evenness and level of the iron rails, and the smoothness and perfection of make in the iron wheels that run upon them, there comes to be less resistance from friction to the carriage, than from the water of the canal tothe boat @hat passes through it. From these two circumstances toge- ther it must result, that the same horse | the expense of renewing it, at the time power will be able to carry even more | when it shall become necessary. upon a rail road than upon a canal. swer a purpose. of advantages between these methods of transportation for produce and merchan- , wards the point of -destination, must.-be attended with signal advantages in es- caping most of these embarrassments. 7. It is now ascertained that rail ways may be constructed with all necessary strength and firmness. out of wood, at a | | | ! { i { cost little more than half of that which must be incurred in making them of iron. If this be true in the northern part of our country, it must be eminently so of our own state. The lasting and substantial From, the. National Intelligencer, Narch 6th. THE INAUGURATION.

It is computed that the in-| terest of the money which must be paid | for the iron more than for the wooden rail way, is more than sufficient to defray The 8. Another disadvantage incident to canals in a comparison with rail roads, is _dise, and the evidence to satisfy our minds, | the interruption of business upon the for- if they be not already satisfied, will be | mer for a considerable time in the winter, more fully presented hereafter. | 4, the erection and maintenance of bridges! means be exempt, especially in the high-| over them, is greater than any such ex- pense necessary to rail roads. When a canal is made through a country, means must be provided at convenient distances for crossing it, to prevent the communica- tion between one part of a farm or neigh- borhood from being cut off from another. This brings on a multitude of contracts lands along the line of a canal, for mak-- |ing and keeping up bridges through all 'future time. And if there be any road crossing the site of the canal, a bridge | | ficulties almost entirely vanish. | _ horses can cross them any where without | | injury, and all that is necessary for the ‘their length is extended far more than | rail,and high enough to prevent the wheels | other, it is conjectured that in the whole must be maintained at the public expense ‘for ever, that the highways may not be interrupted. This expense of bridges must _continue to be levied in perpetuity by tolls | upon the canal, and through all time act ,as @ burden upon the transportation of 'goods. In regard to rail ways, these dif- | Men and | > crossing of wheels is a piece of timber let into the ground along the side of the iron in passing over it from touching the rail before it descends upon some little stone 'In this manner provision is made for any | road on which waggons or carriages cross | arail way. Iam not aware that the. bridges over the great Western Canal of New York have ever been numbered, but | after having passed with personal obser- | vation from one end of that canal to the | distance of three hundred and sixty three | miles, the number of bridges is not less | than four hundred. In stating this, it is ‘thought likely to tall short of the reality | rather than to exceed it. In these circum- stances convincing evidence must appear, | ‘that the maintenance, and repairs, and | attendant expenses of canals must always | be greater than are requisite for a rail- | way. | 5. It is much to be apprehended that | /canals may render unhealthy the parts of | the country along their route. The mo- | tion of water in a canal, if there be any, | is exceedingly slow, so as to approach stagnation. This is especially the case, in long levels, unless the canal be made | with such ascent as to occasion a current, | which for convenience of navigation is admitted as little as possible. Even the’ original rapidity of rivers, where the wa. ter is sometimes dashed by falls, and agi- there is reason to believe that it will ap- | ply no less in this country, that the ex- . pense of making a canat is two or three North Carolina Terrapins, passed by the} times that of a rail road. The excava- ‘try, gives an advantage to rail roads in! ‘comparison with canals. tion, or removal of earth or rocks for the former is much greater than for the latter. The iron necessary is far less costly than we are apt to suppose, as will appear when something further shall be said up- on the materials of public works, and the expense attending them. And let it be considered that a lock cannot be properly tated by rapids, does not prevent them from producing disease at certain seasons, along their banks and in their vicinity.— This effect may be experienced even in northern latitudes, but it is especially to be dreaded and deprecated in a soathern climate like ours. No such consequence threatens the inhabitant or the traveller upon arail road. It isa primary object in pursuing the line of such a structure to shun as much as possible the intersection of marshes and streams of water. 6. Another circumstance suggested by the peculiar nature of our southern coun- Our principal rivers originate towards the western ex- tremity of the state. Were a canal at- tempted from the same distance in the in- | terior, the long summers of our southern latitude, drying up all our smaller streams, and rendering very precarious supplies of completed of substantial and suitable ma- | terials for less than eight or ten thousand dollars, while the means of passing from one level to another by inclined planes or otherwise on a rail road, are easily provi- ded, in companson with locks. 3. At least as large a burden, or as ma- ny tons, can be transported in the same time and by the same force upon a rail road as upon a canal. On this as wellas every other article of this enumeration o! advantages in favor of the rail road, evi- iy ‘ver. water even from the larger, would make it necessary for such acanal, that it might be fed with certainty, to confine its course to the margin of some mainriver. Thus it would be perpetually intersecting the deep ravines which occur at small dis- tances along the banks of a principal ri- The consequences must be, numer- ‘ous and large embankments, deep cut- completion of canals. tae tings, bridges or aqueducts, rocky exca- tions, locks and culverts, all’of which are occasions of the heaviest expenses in the A rail road along extensive ridges, gencrally tending to- _between the public and the owners of transportation by a railroad.

But in the depths of summer we must be much more sub- on which canals depend for their supplies. On such causes as these the rail road is wholly independent. 9. It is continually evinced by present practice, that steam can be employed in tive engine of ten horse power goes four miles an hour with ninety tons in its train, and twelve miles an hour with twenty five tons. As to canals for ships or steam- boats, they are wholly out of considera- tion, in speaking of such as are ordinarily constructed through a country. It has appeared then. from the whole comparison here made, that for many rea- sons rail ways are preferable to canals. 1. Canals must generally be much long- er than rail ways, between the same ex- , clouded, as pleasant as could have been looked for in this particular season of the year. At the | break of day the strains of martial music re- sounded along the principal avenues of the city ; and hundreds of star-s pangled banners of eve. ry fabric and dimension were unfolded to the breeze. The bells of the city then rang | out a stirring peal, and long before the usual breakfast hour the People were wending their way in immense masses to the Capitol. THE SALUTATION. At nine o’clock one huadred gentlemen, who | officiated as Marshals, mounted their horses in ‘front of the City Hall and proceeded in a body |to Willard’s Hotel, for the purpose of paying their respects to General Taylor. Having been escorted to the long Upper Hall of the Hotel, | and arranged themselves in a line, the Presi- dent Elect made his appearance, leaning upon the arm of the Mayor of the city, and proceeded to shake the hands of the gentlemen present, as a return for their polite salutation. eral was dressed in a plain suit of black, and he appeared to be in the enjoyment of his usual good health. After the above ceremony was ended, the Marshals retired to attend to _ their official duties, and General Taylor return- ed to his own apartment for the purpose of pre- paring himself for THE PROCESSION. At half-past eleven o’clock the Procession took up its line of march. All the arrange- ments were carried out according to the pro- gramme already published. ‘The several mil- presented an imposing and beautiful appear- ance; and as the procession moved along Pennsylvania avenue towards the Capitol, ma- ny bands of music poured forth a variety of martial airs. sident Elect was escorted was drawn by four handsome grey horses, and protected from the pressure of the multitude by the cavalcade of the hundred marshals already mentioned.

The perpetual expense of maintaining a canal with bridges and repairs is great- | er than that which is incident to a rail- | road. 5. Canals, especially ina southern | climate, may be well dreaded as sources | of disease. 6. The face of our state, the | courses of our rivers, and the ridges he- | tween them, are peculiarly favorable to the rail road. 7. Railways of wood are scarcely more than half as expensive as Their inferior cost then, compared with that of canals, must give them greatly the preference to an econo. | mical people contemplating some method of removing their difficulties of commer- cial intercourse among themselves. and with other parts of the world. 8.

THE SCENE WITHIN THE CAPITOL. The scene presented by the interior of the Senate Chamber was highly impressive. lt would be difficult in this or any other country to find a spot which included within the same space more of distinction, whether we attach to that term the mere elevation of place and of _ position in human society, or that truer eleva- _ tion which is the prerogative of men born great ‘by the gifts of God.

This scheme, though regarded at first with indifference, is rapidty growing in public favor. The more it is discussed and understood, the greater does its adaptation to the peculiar wants of the Western people, appear. As long as the present habits of our farmers continue, (and it is well known how slowly and gradually they are changed,) a Plank Road from Salisbury to Fayetteville, must be to them a great desidera- tum. The number of horses which are kept by them on their farms, will, during certain sea- sons of the year be unemployed, if not used in wagoning, and thus they can convey their own produce to market on a Plank Road much cheaper than can be done for them by any known mode of transportation. The object, however, of this communication, is not to pre- sent the claims of the Plank Road to the public, as they are, I beMeve, generally appreciated, but to make some suggestions as to the route which it ought to take from This point to Fayetteville. This is a matter of great importance to the success of the Road, and deserves instant and attentive consideration by its well-wishers.— From a recent paragraph in the Fayetteville Observer, the upper route, as it is called, through Moore, Randolph and Davidson, seems to be preferred by the citizens of Fayetteville. bie service ithe “% CAROLINA WATCHMAN.

The reader will find in to-day’s paper, the Inaugural Address of President Tay- lor, and cannot, we feel assured, fail to admire and commend it in évery particu- lar. It isin fact, a guaranty that he will carry out as foreshadowed, in all his let- ters during the campaign, the Republican principles of the “earlier Presidents.”— Partizanship will not be a recommenda- tion to office, but honesty and capability are to be the only requisites. No narrow- minded sectarian policy is to govern Pre- sident Taylor: every section of this “ wide- spread Republic” is to receive from his Administration, consideration and support. Measures passed by Congress for the im- provement of Rivers and Harbors and to develope the mighty resources of this great country, will receive his hearty ap- probation.

Dec. 8, 1848. The Committee to whom was referred so much of the Grand Master’s Address as relates Stone, ask leave to submit the following Re- port: Whilst there has been many causes, in our Masonic history, during the past year, for rejoicings; whilst the rapid increase of the order and the permanent establish- bosom with emotions of pleasure, our delight is marred with the thought that one of Masonry’s proud ornaments has been overtaken by the ruthless destroyer, and now Oh, death! how heavily the sound falls upon the heart ! nence, and watch the varjous changes which come over human society, as we see one by one of our fellows drop into the grave, we should be reminded that the period is not far distant, when our places on earth shall be va- | cated, and we pass to that bourne from whence no trav- eller returns.

The usual number of three of these festive assem- - zen voldnteers entertained their military visi- | ters, the volunteer companies from Baltimore ; ‘another at the large and handsome saloon at Jackson Hall; the third held in the City Hall | and the great dancing saluon adjuining erected ‘for the occasion. President Taylor & Vice President Fillmore attended each of these balls ; the President be- ing accompanied by Mr. Speaker Winthrop ‘and the Mayor of the City; the Vice Presi- | dent by the Hon. Mr. Schenck and Mr. W. A. Bradley, two of the Managers of the Grand In- | auguration Ball. The President and Vice President, thus ac- | companied, left the Presidential Mansion at 9 | o'clock, and first proceeded to Carusi’s, where _ the visiters were received with every mark of | respect, and whence, afier a sufficient tim® for | the interchange of civilities, and for those old. | school courtesies towards the sex which the | General seems habitually to pay wherever and whenever in their presence, the cortege re. | paired to Jackson Hall, where likewise he _ was received with the most cordial demonstra. tions of respect by the Managers and the brill- iant company, amid strains of most inspiring music from the accomplished Germania Band. At this very handsome assembly the President and Vice President spent an hour most agree. ably, and partook of refreshments at the ele- 'gantly-spread supper table, where every thing delicious and recherche was amply provided. The distinguished guests_and the attendant gentlemen then re-entered their carriayes, and proceeded to the Grand Inauguration Ball, | which they reached between 10 and 11 o’clock. On passing through the corridor of the City Hall and arriving at the head of the broad flight | of steps which led down to the dancing saloon, where the vista of the vast room was fully open. ed to view, the spectacle was in the highest degree impressive. There were seen full view about four thousand persons of both sexes, ele. | gantly dressed and the scene brilliantly varie. gated by the gorgeous costumes of Foreign Ministers, and the more simple but striking uniforms of our Military Naval Officers. ‘The whole multitude was standing to receive the il- | lustrious Chief; and, as he appeared in view | and descended to the saloon, acclamations and | cheers loud and long rent the air. So deafening, | | indeed, was the din that the strains of Gung’l’s celebrated and powerful band, with which the en. | tre was greeted, were fora minute or two entirely drowned. Atthe motion of Mr. Quincy,of Boston 3 hearty cheers were given also for Vice Presi- dent Fillmore.

At an age when | the world is most fascinating to the young mind ;—with personal attractions joined to affabitity of manners, and a suavity of temper which would have made her an idol in its circles,—our departed friend cheerfully abode in the family mansion, secluding herself from society, to picmote the welfare of ber brothers and sisters. Eleven months have not passed away since wé saw her—-the beautiful bride, pledging her hand and heart to the man of her choice ; and never did we anticipate more true domestic bliss, as likely to be the portion of | a wedded pair, than on that occasion. But alas! the | heart and home of the husband of hér youth is now des- olate ; a pledge of their mutual love remains, the moth- erless babe, who, we sincerely hope, may in due time exhibit those lovely traits of character which so justly reodeied its departed mother a favorite with all her riends. nication to visit Mrs. Harriss during her last illness ; but from her Pastor he learns that her mental exercises were such as to afford much comfort to the surrounding friends. She was enabled to meet death with christian courage, and manifested a cheerful resignation to the will of Heaven. Nature did indeed plead, and she would gladly have lived for the sake of her husband and infant son ; but grace enabled her to submit to her Heavenly Father’s will. Nothing but divine grace could, in her circumstances, have taken away the sting of death | and caused her to appropriate to herself the christian song of triumph: “O death, where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?” If to those who believe Christ “is precious,,” then did she indeed believe ; for she declared that she found Him a precious and all-suf- | ficient Savior, in whose hands she trusted her whole sal- vation. With these consolatory expressions upon her Farewell, blest shade! from earth to heaven removed ; In death lamented, and in life beloved ! O, if to bear a mild, a generous heart, To act the kindest, yet the truest part,— o be whate’er or cheers, or softens life, The tender daughter, sister, friend and wife 3 If such as these can claim a falling tear, We will approach and pay the tribute here.” {> Wadesboro’ Argus requested to copy.

Two great railroad routes are now di- viding the favor of the people of the north- western States, one from Cincinnati to St. Louis, through Lawrenceburgh and Vincennes, the other, taking a more north- efly course, from St. Louis through Terre Hante and Indianopolis to Lake Erie.

We can- ‘not be mistaken in the calculation that | Wilmington, Moore, Randolph, Gailford, Davidson, and Rowan, will sabscribe the ‘remaining $20,000—that is, upon the pre- sumption that the road will take the Nor- thern route, passing through some and near to others of the above counties, which s2ems to be decidedly the favorite route with a large majority if the direct route being deemed impracticable, on account 'of the Uwharie mountains. We under- 'stand that uncertainty in regard to the ‘route has, naturally enough, prevented subscriptions as yet in other places. To obviate such a difficulty, we would sug- gest that subscriptions be taken condition- ed that the road go with a certain dis. ‘tance of any particular point, say Car- thage, or Watson’s Bridge, or Asheboro’, _or Greensborough, or Lexington. As soon as the Company can be organized, (for which a notice of a General Meeting of | the subscribers wijl be issued this week,) ‘arrangements will be made for locating the Road, and commencing the work.

Whilst these sports And rejoicings were going forward on the lawn the merchants and others of the more wealthy and hospitable inhabitants had provided some Hhds, and barrels of rum and other spirits which were deposited on the first parade ground with one end upward and the heading knocked out; tu which. place the troops were then marched, fullowed by the numerous spectators al] shouting and huzzaing till they reached the spot. Barbacued meats and other viands were also prepared in great abundance, and every body who chose feasted, and all upon free cost. This pleasing and alluring exercise of feasting, and merriment being over, every body retired to their houses in town and country, after a joyous day spent as above described, without any riot wr tumult, but all in good humor with themselves andthe world. “Thus much for the gamp Act and its repeal. [ have already told the reader how the Duke of Gralton as prime ininister, and Charles Townshend, the new chancellor of the Ex. bhequer, came into power, now immediately ptocured the passage of a bill for granting new duties in the culonies, to wit: on glass, paper, painters colors and tea, ‘The heat of opposi- tien whica bad subsided upon the repeal of the former impost was now revived, with addition. | alardeur, by the saine principle exhibited in itis new form. As might have been expected, the new dulies gave rise to a second associa. tien foe suspending importations to British manufactures. Unilormity in this ineasure was promoted by the Massachusetts assembly, whose arlivity and persevering firinness excited the marked displeasure of the crown. "Phey were ordered to rescind their resolutions, and on theis sefusal were dissolved. = During the administration of Governdr Try. m,in North Carolina, a splemdid place for his Pesidence was begun in Newbern, the seat of proyal governmeé@ut in that province. The wm of £23,0U0 current money, equal to 62.- 500 dullacs, was vated by the House of Bur- gesses for that establishment in the first in. - ance. This sum being gradually expended, od the building unfinished, another call was made on the House of Burgesses at their next Bession for a new appropriation, which with me difficulty was obtained, perhaps to the mount of 86000 more, andthe work progress. od. But even this additional sum was found insufficient fur so splended a building with all its offices, and Governor ‘Tryon, with the as- sistance of the influence of his council, always obedient to the wishes of the Governor, and the mandates of the crown, who jointly consti. luted the upper branch of the Provineial Gov. ment, obtained from time te time new grants until the Sums amounted to £40.000 or 100.000 dollars—an immense sum for North Carolina lo raise at that early period, which though ex. lensive as to its territory, was nevertheless deemed the poorest Province, except Georgia in British America. This enermous sum ap- propriated for the accommodation of one man (a creature of the crown,) and shis family, ex- torted by degrees from the people, (whilst many wealthy and virtuous subjects livea in tene. Ments not costing $1600) created many mur.

At! last, Governor Tryon, with 2 or 3000 militia and volunteers, the latter acting as cavalry, with three or four small field pieces, about the Sth of May, 1771, approximated the insurgent army.

Governor Tryon, after bis victory, held a court martial for the trial of his prisoners and hy martial law hanged on a gibbet six of the most obnoxious characters among them. Col.

Tryon, after this victory, having forced the submission of these impatient and deluded men and having re-established the civil authority in Hillsborough and other places, where it had been resisted, marched back to the low coun- try and discharged them. Such was the eclat the Governor derived from the succces of this short campaiga, both in the Province and in England, that in the course of the year 1771, or the beginning of the next, he was translated by the Ministry from the Gov. ernment of North Carolina to that of the rich commercial Province of New York, a much more handsome sinecure than the former, as probably his salary was doubled, if not trebled. In this post he was found when the American war broke out, and in which he continued un- til its close. In the commencement of the sum. mer of 1779, he was despatched from the City of New York, by the Commander-in-chief of | the British forces, upon an expedition to Con- neclicul, * accompanied by the numerous force, and escorted by Admiral Collier; he landed at East Haven, then visited New Haven, Fairfield | and Norwalk; in each of which places he ex- | hibited the most barbarous scenes of plunder and conflagration, insult and devastation—no | object being too valuable, none too contempti- TURNPIKE ROADS.

In conclusion, we ask, that an accurate survey of said road be made by five in- _telligent Commissioners, and also, an ap- propriation of Ten Thousand Dollars to be expended between the Yadkin Valley and the State line in such manner as the Legislature may provide.

The man who owns and cultivates a farm in the neighborhood of a populous city, enjoys more favorable opportunities for supporting a family and enlarging his property, than one who lives at a distance from a numerous and busy population, or far back in the interior of a country. It is because the productions of his farm and his garden have fair and prompt market, with no delay of payment. This acts as a stimulous to his exertions. He is en- couraged to fertilize bis grounds, to prac- tise the best modes of cultivation, to be spxring of his toil. His trees are well se- lected, his orchards flourish, his meadows are luxuriant, and he is no less particular in the quality of his grains, roots and ve- getables. He is so habitually in good spi- rits from knowing no nécessity or debt, by unembarrassed command of his af- fairs, and by a regular growth of his pros- _ pects for himself and his children, that his | labours, instead of being oppressive, are | prosecuted with renewed interest, while he looks forward to their speedy and cer- ,tain reward. It isno wonder, then, that | such portions of our country as are inthe should be remarkable for the prosperity of their inhabitants. The distant farmer shows his sense of this, and of his own disadvantages, while in cutting down the timber that encumbers his lands, and which is to be burned in heaps, as being only in his way, he remarks that were these masses of wood in certain situations, instead of ‘causing him so much useless labour, they would speedily augment his fortune. What is here said of the farmer or planter, is no less applicable to all sorts of business. Mines of iron, coal, or lead, | could they all be situated and worked | hear to seaport towns or large cities, or even very populous parts of the country, | are more valuable than when remote from the prompt opportunities of sale. The advantages of all sorts of manufactories are estimable by the same considerations. Let us then suppose a farm, a workshop, or a mine, with all its means of being wrought, situated two hundred miles from the sea, to be taken up, and put down again a few miles from a commercial city. The land which, before such a change, sold for three dollars, would now sell for filteen, perhaps thirty or fifty dollars per acre. ‘The reason obviously is, that in its new situation, it has all the opportunities | It would be a matter of small 'consideration, that the land at present | market. | There is no danger that it would not soon _ become rich in these new circumstances. It would every year grow more fertile un- _der the increased alacrity, ingenuity and /Management of the owner. If it were not subject, by some peculiar properties, to invincible sterility, he would think but | little of its former unproductive condition. |All this is evidently not less true of the | mine or the workshop. _ Such a case can only be imagined, and it is for the sake of illustration alone that Senate, an incident occurred which de- jt has been supposed. But to prepare the _way definitely for the use of thisexample, let me repeat, what is it that causes the ‘difference between the value of the farm _and all its productions, in the one situa- (tion and in the other? It is in their dis- ‘tance from market. All that we have economical of his time, and not to be. was in an inferior state of cultivation. | ;and common roads. ‘the sake of comparison, that. one boateds as expensive in the building and mafp- that objectionable appeatt of or magic, which might at first have oc: curred to our apprehension: < Let it not be thought that the’ of such travelling has been stud kept out of view. The exposition the purpose of distinctly showing’ is meant, when by certain veyance, distance is said to be annihila~ ted. The passage from New Haven“ New York, must cost three dollars forthe distance of eighty five miles; and-th between Norfolk and -Philadelphia® must cost twelve, every thing in the latter in- the distance of three and. fifiy miles. But where men go such distances on business, it is really so great:a privi- lege to effect their objects on those: termay and in most cases they gain so much by it in the end, that the expense ds more than compensated by the advantages: When they travel for pleasure, we shall’ scarcely deny, that their remuneration is greatly enhanced, or at least, that it is a matter which ought to have no influence on the subject. A merchant in Norfolk, for we do well to illustrate by fact, reads in the newspa- | per that three days afterwards there iste be sold at auction in Philadelphia a large’ quantity of goods or property, tawhich , he feels interested. In the last thirty si’ hours before the time of sale, he passes the city, defrays all the expenses of purchases, and possibly profits by themto the amount of some ‘hundreds 6r even’ thousands. The cost of travelling it is presumed would no longer be naméd, and the distance between ? delphia and his own residence, he will eottsent to say, has been reduced to little “or néthing, ‘by the facilities of the passage. si casit Travelling recently on the New York Canal, from Albany to Lake Eric, a dis tafce of three hundred and sixty three me) fell into conversation with a man’ by the name of Hoopei, passing westward in the same packet boat*. He was one _ of your plain, substantial, sensible men, a good farmer, wholly of a practical charac- ter. on the soundness of whose opinions, and the correctness of whose statementa, it was easy to see that reliance was to be placed. Said he, I live some distance up the country, along this Canal, and have been down to Schenectady to market. I took down five hundred and twenty six barrels of flour in a boat, which cost as, bout two bundred and fifty dollars. It was done by two men and two horses, and thé whole trip will be completed in eight days. Had I done this by our old metbo@ with waggons and horses along our turnpike roads, the same thing would have requit- ' ed fifty men. fitty waggons, and a hundred of a quick. convenient, and ready money | horses for sixteen dayst.

It is a matter of legitimate pride and congratulation to the American people that their cemparatively infant country should already be accommodated with a larger amount of railway communication than any other country inthe world. Itis is difficult to believe that this can the case —that a nation which was fighting for its very birth only seventy years ago, should | already have outstripped the boary na- tions of the Old World in the successful | The number of employment of these most important aux: | ig about 165,000 in summer, and about 185,000 | iliaries to civilizatton, refinemert and so- cial happiness. On the first of January last, there were six thousand four hundred and twenty- one (6,42!) miles of rail laid in the Uni- ted States, and in operation. Inthe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland there were only four thousand four hundred and twenty; less than in the. United States just two thousand and one miles; In France there were one thousand two hundred and fifty ; in Ger- many, tbree hundred and seventy ; and in the rest of Europe, only sixteen hundred and twenty-eight miles. It is worthy of being borne in mind, that none of the railroads in the United States have received any aid from the | General Government, while there isscarce- ly one in operation 1n Europe, which has not been chiefly, if not entirely built at the public expense. Many, or rather some of our roads have received the aid of the State Governments, but probably the whole amount of public money invested in this kind of property, does not exceed, if it equals two per cent, upon the aggre- gate amount of railroad capital in the United States, Iq, this connexion, it may be interesting may be stated at eight months, which is the . : : | same as last year, and.France with those in this country, to. me as last year to compare the cost of roads in England April last, was $23,826.

To oblige this class, no doubt a vast amount of money is wasted in giving un- pecessary security to the works, machin- ery and management of the road, to the conveniences of passengers in travelling upon them, &c.. all which, however, is just so much of tax upon the poorer class- es, who are prepared tosubmit cheerfully to privations and discomforts which this extra expense is designed to remove, but towards which they can ill afford to con- tribute. In this country, we waste no money up- on unnecessary securities, opon the idle ornaments or unaccustomed luxuries in our cars, depots or elsewhere ; we simply contrite to set our cars in motion, with- out losing sight of any important comfort, and at the same time. with a due regard to the interests of that largest class in the munity, to whom high fares are equiv- alent to » prohibition from travelling.

The Journal bases its belief upon the selection of the Cabinet by the President, alone, for the Administration has not had time to present any measure, and if it had, Con- ; js not in sesston to receive any such proposition. But what is it that the fraud js to consist of? The Journal says it is «the restoration of the Tariff of 1842”! store the Whig Tariff. we ask in all sin- cetity, where is the fraud ” Have we not asmuch right to suppose that the People in electing Gen. Taylor, President, intend- ed it as a verdict in favor of restoring the Tariff of 1842, as the Locofocos had for supposing that the election of Polk was against it? Certainly ; and more so. In November last, no man represented Gen. Taylor as a Tariff man where it was pop- lar as Mr. Bachanan did Mr. Polk, in Pennsylvania. All over the country it was the same. So that the Journal real. ly has no cause of alarm—no cause for : ae I a charging Gen. Taylor or his Cabinet with Wy design to “ perpetrate a fraud upon the ' people.” No pledge was ever given that the odious free trade features in the Tariff of 1846 would not be modified, but the cry was from first to last, protection to Amer- jean industry and not to British pauper labor As to the Cabinet, we are satisfied that pone are deficient in their advocacy of jostand reasonable protection to manu fac- tures. All are men of patriotism—who have the prosperity of the whole country ja view and not of a party. If this had been the course of the Journal’s party when in power, instead of running the Country in debt by an unconstitutional War and opening new questions of difhi- culty, quite a different state of things would be seen. Forther, in none of Gen. Taylor’s Let- ters during the campaign did he say he would select milk and cider politicians for his advisers, but on the contrary, he ex- pressly declared himself a Wiig, which includes all the great political measures heretofore supported by the party. The Journal as well as all the papers of the same faith know it smacks very much of presumption and im- pertinence, for the Journal now toattempt to deceive and mislead, even the unin- formed of its own party, much less Whigs. But, if we mistake not, the honest part even of those who call themselves demo- crats. will readily discover the object@of a portion of the Locofoco papers in thus attempting to forestall public opinion, and accord to it that character for magnanim- ity which the article in question entitles it to. this to be so, and Rail Road State Convention, The following communication from the Raleigh Register, proposing a Rail Road Convention, meets our hearty approval. ltis a subject of the greatest importance tothe prosperity of the State, and we trust no time will be lost by the General Commissioners in fixing a day for the friends of this great enterprise to meet and consult upon the various plans proposed. From the Raleigh Register. Mz. Eprror: The paper lately published in the Re- pater as the Charter of the North Carolina Rail Poad, wu by no means that Act as it passed the Legislature. It is the fir. rough draft, which was very imperfect and was materially amended in both Houses. ‘lo prevent erroneous impressins from getting abroad, it might (if convenient) be advisable to publish the Act rtse/f. The General Commissioners, who areto superintend all matters connected with the organization of the Compa- Ry, should forthwith meet and give the public some gen- eral outline of action on this great subject. All our Movements should be concerted and entirely harmoni- ous, Let the Commissioners call a State Conrention! Let the friends of the Road, and all its various interests, meet in one place and confer together. Such a Con- Yention as that would be, has never met in North Caro- i Let us all understand eachother. Let us inform, agitate and arouse the pubiic mind. Let Books then, (and not before) be opened simultaneously throughout the State. Let us begin now—let us move the waters. Never was the current of public opinion so strong in fa Yor of Internal Improvements. Let any man set him- wif against it, and he will feelits weight. Converts are taming over every day. The Press is doing its duty Manfully. Let us all work—work like men and patri- t#—and never cease working until the Road is built, — he State redeemed, and the East and West made one, & common interest and prosperity. These things can and will be done. I wish, Mr. Ed- ber, you could mix with our people, and feel the spirit mong them. The masses are ready for any scheme to Rlieve their hopeless condition. Politicians doubted at t now, every ‘still voice” is hushed, and you Wear nothing but loud hosannas for the North Carolina Rail Road. A MEMBER. P.S.

The route which the road shall take be- tween the towns of Statesville and Mor+ ganton is the point on which greatest in- terest is felt: The people of much the larger section of the country to be bene- ' fitted by the road, desire that it shall pass as near to the town of Lenoir as practi- cable ; not only for the reason that it will thereby accommodate the largest num- Mesers.

This route will secure a large amount of | trade from Tennessee, and give the same. a direction towards Salisbury and Fay: etteville ; which taken in connection with the Central Rail Road and Plank Road | schemes, becomes a subject of much im- | portance not only tothe Western counties, but to the State at large, especially when it is certain that a very slight deviation | | Candles, F. F....00 @ 15 from the route by Lenoir may lose to the State all the advantages of the Watauga | road and of the Western Turnpike itself. If the latter should, for instance, run from Statesville, via Newton, to Morganton, it ! is certainly calculated by those well ac- quainted with the present course of the trade, that that trade will never change its direction from the South, but taking the road to Charlotte via Lincolnton, will diffuse itself into South Carolina, leaving | North Carolina the disagreeable reflection of having “built another monument of .- folly. Nearly all the trade of the coun- | ties North of Newton already takes that. direction, and if the Turnpixe is not laid | out with a view of inviting a change of | its present course, it will only flow on, just | as it has always done, cutting the Turn- | pike at right angles. | As an indication of public sentiment on | this subject in the region of Caldwell county, we re-publish on our first page of to-day’s paper, a petition to the Legisla- ture which appeared some two years ago. | We trust the people of that region most interested will take the proper step to se- | cure the advantages which it was design- | ed this great work should confer upon | them; and also, that the energies of the | State may not be wasted. !

States , the term of years required as a qualification to be a Senator of the United States at the com- mencement of the term for which he was elected. On motion of Mr. Webster, the presiding officer was requested to transmit to the Gov- ernor of Illinois a-copy of the resolution. On motion, the Senate, at nearly half past four, proceeded to the consideration of execu- tive business, and referred several nominations seut in by the President to-day, during the de. bate, in the Shield’s question; and then, at nearly 5 o’clock, adjourned.

Taken from a Byzantine Historian. Athens, Jong after the decline of the Roman stilt continued the seat of learning, po- | Theodoric the Ostro- | ire, sai and wisdom. h repaired to fall into decay, and continued {hose pensions to men of learning which ava- ricious governors had monopolized. In this eity, and about this period, sped and Septimius were fellow-students oy ae er: the one the most subtle porate ener ne eum, the most eloqg ite Mee gave. Mutual admiration soon begot a friendship. Their fortunes were karly equal, and they were natives of the two most. celebrated cities in the world; for Al- eander was of Athens, Seplimius came from Rome. In this state of harmony they lived fur some time together; when Alcander, afier passing the first pact of his youth in the indolence of jlosopby, thought at length of entering into the busy world ; and, as a step envious to this, jaced bis affections on Hypatia, a lady of ex. jsite beauty. ‘The day of their intended nup- tials was fixed ; the previous ceremonies were rformed ; and nothing now remained but her being conducted in triumph to the apartment of the intended bridegroom. Aleander’s exultation in his own happiness, ot being unable to enjoy any satisfaction with- ot making bis friend Septimius a partner, pre- niled upon him to introduce Hypatia to his ity of a man who found himself equally hap. yy in friendship and love, But this was an in- Septimius no sooner saw her, but he was smit- ga with an involuntary passion: and, though he used every effurt to suppress desires at once so imprudent and unjust, the emotions of his piod in a short time became so strong, that pdged incurable. During this illness, Alceander watched him with all the anxiety of fondness, and brought bis mistress to join in those amiable offices of friendship. The sagacity of the physicians, by these means soon discovered that the cause of der being apprized of their discovery, at length estorted a confession from the reluctant dying lover. It would but delay the narrative to describe | the conflict between love and friendship in the | breast of Alcander on this occasion; it is enough to say, that the Athenians were at that fime arrived at such refinement in morals, that every virtue was carried to excess. In short, forgetful of his own felicity, he gave up his in- tended bride, in all her charms, to the young Roman. They were married privately by his tonniviance, and this unlooked-fur change of fortune wrought as unexpected a change in the owt with his fair partner for Rome. af exertion of those talents which he was so eminently possessed of, Septimius in a few years arrived at the highest dignities of the stale, and was constituted the city-judge, or or. In the mean time Alcander not only felt the pain of being separated from his friend and his mistress, but a prosecution was also commenc. éd against him by the relations of Hypatia, for having basely given up his bride, as was sug- gested,lor money. His innocence of the crime laid fo his charge, and even his eloquence in bis own defence, were not able to withstand the influence of a powerful party. He was east, and condemned to pay an enormous fine. However, being unable to raise so large a sum fseated, he himself was stripped of the habit of freedom, exposed asa slave in the market- place, and sold to the highest bidder. A merchant of ‘Thrace becoming his purcha- ver, Alcander, with some other companions of distress, was carried into that region of deso- lation and aterility. His stated employment Was to follow the herds of an imperious mas- er, and his success in hunting was all that was ullowed him to supply his precarious subsis- lence. Every morning awakened him to a re. tewed famine or toil, and every change of season served bul to aggravate his unsheltered distress. Afier some years of bondage, how- ever, an opportunity of escaping offered ; he embraced it with ardour; so that travelling by night, and lodging in caverns by day, to short- eaa long story, he at last arrived in Rome.— The same day on which Alcander arrived, Septimius sat administering justice in the fo. fum, wither our wanderer came, expecting to be itstantly known, and publicly acknowledged by lis former friend.

As the proofs were posi- _tive against him, and he offered nothiug in his /own vindication, the judge was proceeding to _doom him toa most cruel and ignominious death, when the attention of the multitude was , soon divided by another object. The robber, _who had been really guilty, was apprehended _ selling his plunder, and, struck with a panic, had confessed his crime. He was brought bound to the same tribunal, and acquitted every other person of any partnership in his guilt.— Alcander’s innocence therefore appeared, but the sullen rashness of his conduct remained a wonder to the surrounding multitude ; but their astonishment was still farther increased, when they saw their judge start from bis tribunal to embrace the supposed crimnal ; Septimius re. collected his friend and former benefactor, and hung upon his neck with tears of pity and of Joy. Need the sequel be related? Alcander was acquitted: shared the friendship and hon- ours of the principal citizens of Rome ; lived afterwards in happiness and ease ; and left it to be engraved on his tomb, That no circum. stances are so desparate, which Providence may not relieve. COLONIAL HISTORY | NORTH CAROLINA, Furnished by Charles Campbell, Esq., for the Raleigh Register. HISTORICAL SKETCHES BY COL. GUILFORD DUDLEY. Tryon was succeeded in the administration | of the government of North Carolina about the end of 1771, or beginning of 1772. In poli- ticks he appeared to be moderate and tempori- sing, but like his predecessors, attached to the supposed interests of Great Britain and obedi- ent to the mandates of the crown, and the in. | structions of its ministers. For the first two | years of his administration, there was a calm | or kind of lethargyas to passing events, per- |vading the people of North Carolina; but in 74 their sympathies were awakened, when it was known that the British Parliament had passed the Boston port bill, by which that port | was to be shut up after the Ist day of June, and its commerce cut off all parts of the world; /and this cruel measure was to be enforced by a large army of British troops and a power. ful fleet. ‘Then the people awoke and began /to look about them. ‘This bill arrived in the | Spring of 1774, during the session of the House of Burgesses, and threw the Assembly into a ferment, which prevented business from progressing. Gov. Martin found the members _refractory and unyielding to his measures.— He could not procure the passage of his money bills, (as it was usually called,) nor succeed in any other of his favorite or ministerial meas. -ures. The House adjourned in discontent and disgust, and the minds of the people were /alarmed and agitated. Whilst these things | were transacting in Newbern, the Seat of Go- | vernment, in 1774, the writer of these sketch- |es attained his eighteenth year, and had his /name immediately enrolled on the muster-list of the Town company of Militia, in Halifax, /and in a month or two afetrward had an oppor. tunity, for the first time, of seeing Governor | Martin in his own town, for two or three weeks, \ ; : | several times every day in the office where he | al the time appointed, his possessions were con- | | wrote. It is well known to many that King Charles | the 2d granted to eight Lords proprietors that | extensive tract of country lying South of Vir- ginia, and extending along the Atlantic coast to St. Mary’s river which divided it from the Floridas, and west to the Mississippi river, now | including the two Carolinas and Georgia. The Lords proprietors (of whom the Earl of Green- ville was one,) after a fruitless attempt to colo- | nize the country, from their own ignorance, Cu- | pidity and dissatisfaction with their purchase from the crown, all surrendered, for a stipula- ted price, their grant into the hands of the King, except Lord Greenville, who retained his share one degree in breadth, from what is the Vir- ginia line, in the North to the South, and ex- tending from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, in the west. After the surrender of the other Lords proprietors, the country was divided into North and South Carolina, and Greenville open- ed a land-office in his share of the former pro- | vince, and placed an agent there, for the dis- | posal of lands on low terms, subject however | to the payment of annual tax, called quit-rents, | to himself and his heirs, forever, besides sur- | veyor’s fees, the cost of registration of patents, | &c, &c. For several years previous to the disturbances in America, Col. Jos. Monfort, of Halifax, a wealthy merchant, and also the Roy. al ‘Treasurer, had been the agent for the heirs | of Lord Grenville, though as far back as I can. recollect or had any knowledge of such trans. | actions, the land-ofice of Lord Grenville had | been shut up; but the multifarious papers inclu- ding duplicates of patents belonging to that of- fice, still remained in the hands of Col. Mont. | fort; but after the passage of the Boston Port bill was known in North Carolina, and Gen. | Gage with his fleet and army had arrived at. Boston, in pursuance of the ministerial plan, Governor Martin, with his private Secretary, Mr. Nelson, repaired to Halifax, with the writ- ten instructions and an order from the heirs of Grenville, to receive all the papers of every description belonging to thatoffice. ‘This was early in the Summer of 1774, at which time the writer was something more than eighteen years old, and was assistant clerk in the count. | ing house and the ‘Treasury Office. The Trea. surer was a man advanced in years, of a fee- ble constitution and sickly temperament, then languishing on the bed of sickness, but a Whig ; and although Governor Martin and his suite were his guests for several weeks, and no doubt used much persuasion and address to get ‘the papers into his hands, yet tbe Treasurer at ‘first demurred, and for some time wavered about their delivery, uatil he could ceasult his friends about the propriety of the measure, evi- dently shewing a repugnance to delivering them to his Excellency at all. At last hecon. sented, and- procuring a confidential friend (for he was unable to attend ‘himself ) to superin- tend and direct six oc eight clerks, all young men, among them myself, in the business of taking a schedule of inventory, not only of the duplicate grants, but of every other paper belong- ing to the office, opening and designating their import exactly in our inventory ; and although we were all expert or swift pensmen, yet it took us more than a fortnight or three weeks, from before sun-rise tilldark every day, toaccom- plish this arduous work, notwithstanding the and the lives of our people destroyed by actu- al hostilities, being thus wantonly destroyed by the British. Not only this Province, but all America was thrown into an increased ferment. The House of Burgesses however, but the as- pect of affairs at this crisis, so alarming to his Excellency, caused him to pause, and the long- er he deliberated upon the awful subject of haz- arding his sacred person among the hardy sons of the West, more than 200 miles from Governor was osually three or four times a day in our office, and with us on the completion of | the work. This done, and the papers being | packed up in large trunks, boxes and chests, | and three wagons procured for their removal to the palace in Newbern, his Excellency de- | parted in seeming triumph and satisfaction at | the acquisition of what he no doubt deemed an | immense prize, and the favor he should thereby | confer on the courtly heirs of Grenville. I pre- | sume this enormous bulk of papers was imme. | his palace, the more his mind became bewil- dered and panic-struck, and instead of repair- ing to Hillsborough, according to promise, with his council, faithful adherents and advisers, | with bis imitatien of the British House of Lords constituted the upper House of our Legislature, he flew off in a tangent of more than 90 de. grees, from the point in question, and with his whole fi8usehold, while the Assembly was im- p@iently waiting his appearance, in order to | begin business, and hastily repaired to Wil- necessary to slipperf or lock the wheels, to prevent the horse being overpowered by the weight pressing upon him.” “On different rail way one horse, value thirty pounds,” or one hundred and fifty dollars, “drew twenty one wagons, of five handred weight each which with their loading amounted to one hundred and. forty three tons and éight hundred weight, the declivity being one inch to a yard; and up the same, he afterwards drew se- ven tons.” “In the summer of 1805, a trial was made on the Sarrey rail way by Mr. Bankers, wherein a horse taken indiscrim- inately out of a team, drew sixteen wag- ons, weighing upwards of fifty five tons, for more than six miles along a level, or very slightly declining part of the rail way*.” 3°@ Boat ft jag od € mm i hensible: It is ‘hoped, ...| of this gigantic aatomaton; as; | but their receipt availed them not at all, for in na, when she became an independent State, and framed her own Constitution, virtually con- the soil belongs to the good people of this State,’ which also included the vacant or unappropri- ated lands belonging to the other estates belonging to British subjects re- siding in Great Britain, or any of its provinces or territories. And thus the heirs of the Earl of Grenville, the original patentee, lost forever the greater part of what remains to North Car- olina, and two-thirds of what now constitutes the State of Tennessee, and these by far the richest portions, as to soil, situation and value, in both the States. * : * : . When the news of General Gage having ar- rived at Boston, with a fleet and army, and shut up that port, reached North Carolina, the Captain of a Company of Halifax, where the narrator then resided, and to which company he belonged, resigned the commission he held under the King, making at the same time a public declaration, “tbat he would no longer serve his Majesty either in a Civil or Military capacity, until American grievances were re- dressed.” example and presently afierwards theField Offi- also, and thus the Militia of that county, at least, were left in a state of anarchy. The late Captain of the Town Company, however, lost no time in convening the citizens of the place and its vicinity, who had formerly com- posed his command, and after making a short harangue, proposed that they should form them. selves into an independent company, and elect their own officers, in defiance of all regal au- thority. ‘Phis proposition was highly relished and acceded to by all the company, a few ex- pected, who were Scotch merchants and their clerks, when they proceeded to head them, and most of their late subaltern officers, and imme- diately went into a course of rigid training.— But being somewhat deficient in the knowl- , edge of Military tacticks, at this period, Rob. ert Washington was invited from Virginia, i} ) for the purpose of disciplining this corps. He had served as a British sergeant during ‘the whole of the preceding War, and was skilled in the manual exercise and the va- rious evolutions introduced into the Prussian armies by Frederick the Great, whilst he had been previously trained in the antiquated dis- | cipline of Bland, an English author. And thus as the writer of this narrative believes and then understood, was formed the first Independent Company in America. North Carolina, like her neighbor, Virginia, and the other Provinces, had her Committee of Correspondence also in 1774, for the pur- pose of intercommunication, and as soon as it | was determined to hold a general Congress at | Philadelphia, in September of that year, ap- pointed her Delegates to attend that meeting. These were Joseph Hewes, of Edenton, a vir- | tuous man and an old and highly respectable | | merchant, of great experience in merchantile | ‘commerce; Richard Caswell, of Dobbs Coun- ty, in the District of Newbern, a very respect- able lawyer, and William Hooper, of Hillsbo- ro,’ also a lawyer and the most pleasing speak- er I had ever seen at any bar. * * * The General Congress accor- 'dingly met at Philadelphia, on the 6th of Sep. tember, 774, all the provinces being duly rep- resented except Georgia, which, for prudential reasons, approved of by the other colonies, de- The ‘clined sending delegates at this time. first thing they did, was to enter into a non-im. | portation ageement, whereby all commercial ‘intercourse between Great Britain and the forewarned not tosell.

But in the mean time the affairs of Lexington and Con- cord had Bappened, on the 19th of April, "75, diately shipped to England by Gov.

Finding they had happily got rid of the Royal authority, in the manner above mentioned, they proceeded to take into consideration the state of the Colony, and their obligations to the other Provinces, ot mutual co-operation in this incipient stage of _our confederations and instead of enacting stat- ute laws, proceeded to something more sub- stantial and requisite, in the present posture of affairs. Among their first acts, was to raise two regiments of regular troops: the command of the first was given to Col. Fear, and the other to Col. Rob’t Howe, of Brunswick, below Wilmington. Andaconsiderable sum of paper money was voted, to be issued for the purpose of enlisting men and to pay other expenses of Government. They also so organized the Mi- litia as to raise some Regiments of minute-men, and appointed the Colonels—a species of reg- ular troops, who voluntarily enrolled them. selves without receiving bounty or any offer | pay, except * * * - (To be Contined.) CENTRAL RAIL ROAD. THE NUMBERS OF CARLTON. No. IY. In the second of these numbers it was proposed to show, and it is hoped not un- successfully, that for inland transporta- tion, especially in our climate, rail ways are preferable to canals. They are cheap- jer in the first construction. The iron rail | way costs not more than half as much as _a canal between such distant extremities /as the eastern and western parts of our State. And if it be made of timber hav- ing a strap of iron on the top, the expense could again be reduced probably to one- fourth of what it would be if made of iron. Not only is the cost of rail roads less at first, but it for ever continues so in main- tenance, repairs, quantity of travelling, and the numerous bridges over a canal not necessary to a rail way. It is my ob- ject now to give more full and convincing evidence of these truths. It shall be such ' evidence as fears no future examination. It invites and solicits investigation, not | theoretical and fanciful, but practical, and | such as is confirmed by the incontestible authority of experiments already made. | Anderson was a man of practical know- | ledge on these subjects. The conclusions | which he states are worthy of our confi- | dence as derived from actual observation. | One horse, says he, can draw with ease upon a canal twenty tons, and he will do | | this travelling at the usual rate of horses in a wagon, ona hard smooth turnpike ‘road. He then says that the same horse, /on a properly constructed rail road, can carry the same quantity of goods in the same time. Mr. Joseph Wilkes in 1799 stated, “that -a horse of the value of twenty pounds sterling,” which is one hundred dollars of /our money, “drew along the declivity of 'an iron road descending two eighths and half an eighth of an inch in a yard, twenty one carriages or wagons laden with coals | the same in both systems ; while the first | and timber, weighing thirty five tons, over- coming the vis inertia, repeatedly with ease.” By overcoming the vis inertia, is meant the starting of the wagons from a state of rest; and every one knows that this is the greatest difficulty in drawing on any given surface. “ The same horse,” ' continues Mr. Wilkes, “drew up the same _declivity five tons with ease.” It will readily occur, that in a trade be- tween a seaport town and the upper coun- | | try, the weight or tonnage to be carried | at Hillsborough, towards the sea, is vastly greater than is | | returned into thecountry. It will follow, therefore, that a rail road may be proper- _ly made to descend in a very small degree, 'so as to favor the draught in the direction ‘of the heaviest transportation. Itis upon this principle thatthe statement here made ‘is to be understood. If a rail road de- ' scends five sixteenths of an inch, or which lis the same, two and a half eighths of an inch in a yard, it is at the rate of very ‘nearly forty six feet ina mile. Mr. Wilkes ‘also says, “ that when the descent was an ‘inch and three quarters in a yard, it was to the world that they could legislate for them. | Now all these are so many unquestion- able facts. Let the same circumstan- ces be renewed, and the same results will be experienced before our own eyes, and for our own benefit. The laws of nature | do not change, and if such testimony as this do not satisfy our minds, what, it may _be asked, will be sufficient to remove our doubts and prepare us to avail ourselves of the greatand important practical truths | which it is its object to establish? The twenty tons, the thirty five tons, the forty three tons and eight hundred weight, and the fifty five tons can be drawn as easily {in America as in England. We know | that upon our common roads, it takes the tons ; that is, one horse at least is neces- |Sary to halfaton. If one horse then, on a rail way, can draw twenty tons with ease, it follows that he will do as much as forty horses usually do in our common transportation. If, however, a good horse can on a rail road draw thirty five tons, he performs as much as seventy horses do upon our roads. Should we take the third | of these numbers, namely, forty three tons, to say nothing of the eight hundred weight, then the effect of the horse applied in one way, is to his effect in the other, as one to eighty six. But one case of actual trial still remains. Mr. Bankes tells us he made it himself, and his testimony is re- _corded for our information. He harnessed a horse to the foremost of sixteen wag- ons, weighing together fifty five tons, and the horse carried them forward six miles | upon a level rail road, or if it had any declivity, it was so slight as not to be es- timated. This is making one horse do as much as a hundred and ten. These things are so astonishing that we are ready at first to pronounce them incredible. They are, however, incontestible and stubborn facts, and not to be denied. And why should we be disposed to distrust them? They reveal to us powers of mechanism, on which we cannot set a sufficient value. It is properly a subject of the highest in- |‘»st and exultation to every man, espe- ally to every citizen of a free and en- lightened community, that our opportuni- ties are susceptible of such almost incon- ceivable enlargement, provided we will unite to effect the object. Shall the sub- jects of monarchies think nothing of se- curing the advantages of this prodigious efficiency, and we who claim all the ener- gies of personal and public liberty, sit still with our arms folded, and gaze at what they do as though it were visionary ex- | travagance to imagine any thing like it within the compass of our puny efforts ? | | It appears then not an excessive or gra- tuitous assumption, when it was asserted | that as large a tonnage could be carried by a given power upon a rail way as up- onacanal. But there are different ways of comparing their efficacy, and if this, according to every view, be much the same in both, we shall be left to consult other circumstances in determining our choice of them. “ Without calculating.” | Says a practical writer. “ upon the im- mense loads of thirty tons and upwards, which have occasionally been moved by one horse upon a rail way, we can state 'that an active horse weighing ten hun- dred weight, conducted by one man upon a well constructed edge rail way, will ' work with ten ton of goods. In the same | manner we may take thirty tons as em- 'ploying the effective labor of one horse |and three persons upon a canal. From which it will therefore appear, that the | expense of trackage per ton is pretty much cost, and consequently the toll or dues, must be greatly in favor of the rail way. | Nothing has yet been said respecting 'the locomotive engine. By this is meant a steam engine propelling a carriage by which it is borne, as the steamboat is mov- ed by the engine fastened into it. This contrivance strikes us as approximating perfection, by imitating an animal power.

These are hie~ words: “ A locomotive engine of temhorse’: power, will draw one hundred and tweaty® tons, at the rate a draught horse gerrerale ly travels; or fifty tons at the raté of six miles an hour. The engine reqtires the attendance of only a man and a‘boy, at. daily expense of live shillings,” (sterling “ The coals consumed in ten hours’ be from twenty to thirty hundred -w. Theretore the expense altogether. d be less than thirty shillings per day, for which. fifty tons may be conveyed *sitty? miles in ten hours, which is less than half a ‘farthing per ton per mile. So that/mreiga’s ing an ample allowance for delays, ther return of empty carriages, the cost ‘and maintenance of the engines, and providing: the wagons, the expense is altogether in~ considerable. But while these proofs are detailed of the great advantages of rail roads, in com- parison with canals, on which the ste@m > engine cannot be used, it is probehja Be more embarrassing difficulty is suggested, than any relating to the great value’ and: importance of these advantages. It isnot so much from doubts respecting the” effi cacy of a rail way, it will be said, that We question its expediency for us, but from’ the vast funds necessary to the construc- tion of it. Now it is my intention to shoy that this is not a real difliculty. Let-@ come to it at once, then, and look at it fr. all its terrors. The number of taxablé polls in the State of North Carolina, is a hundred and thirty five thousand. This number is derived from the Comptroller’s’ Report last year (1826.) An secret ment of thirty seven cents by each - vidual, raises at once the sum of fift thousand dollars a year. Let any one try the numbers for himself, or let him gett neighbor to do it for him, and he will find itto be so. It cannot be that the pay- ment of 37 cents a year upon each polf- for five years, is so great that we ought not to consent toit, provided we are madé sure of the resalt. Itis upon this condi- tion then that it is proposed, and upor this alone, that it shall be adequate to procure to the citizens of our State, so easy and cheap a conveyance for their goods and productions, their manufacturés and their mines that where it now eost® them thirty dollars, it shall not cost then one. Leta rail way be commenced at Newbern, under the direction ofa propet engineer, such as now can be easily had in the United States; let it be construct- ed in as direct line as possible to Raleigh} and thence continued through the middle of the State to the mountains. fa two years and a half it would be éxtended above the capital of the State. ‘Through this it evidently ought to pass, as centrak ° ly sitaated in regard to the general a tion of our boundaries on the north pi south, and as being our metropofis, tts growing importance ought to be foster: with affection and interest by us afl.” “Tt is not to be doubted that if the sum of: fifty thousand dollars were by a legis. tive determination annually appropriated. for seven years to this purpose, and e¢ talists were invited and permitted (6 abs scribe fifty thousand mote, the sam would | be realized instantly, and in the best ‘of, ‘hands. Nor can we suppose there would ‘be any difficulty in a repetition’ of “thé same thing every year for the wholetime of seven years necessary to ‘the work More than fifty thousand dofiars’ a year to be thas subscribed, should not* be ‘at missible, nor should the ownets of sech capital be allowed to hope for morenian . eight per cent. after it should become ductive. - Por it is necessarily understood ‘that the dividend to be paid must be ordde - | good by tolls upon travelling and ¢ portation.

Since the children of Israel wandered through the wilderness, or the Crusaders rushed on to Palestine, there has been nothing so historically singular as the emigration and recent’settlement of the Mormons. Thousands of them came from the Manchester and Sheffields of Europe to join other thousands congre- ed from Western New York and New ngland—boasted descendants of the Pil- grim fathers—together to follow after a new Jerusalem in the West. Having a temple amidst the churches and schools of Lake county, Ohio, and driven from it by a ache opinion, they build the Nauvoo of Illinois.

If any good thing is ever said, or done, or found. or any man becomes distinguished for his talents or public virtues, in these parts,—straighway the newspapers and other vehicles of in- telligence at a distance, attribute the same to Virginia or South Carolina. It has not been a long time ago since the name of William A. Graham had a ron through the newspapers as the Governor of South Carolina ; and it was only last winter that some of the South- western papers announced the election of Rich- mond M. Pearson to the Supreme Court of South «‘arolina. And now the ques- tion of the identity of such a State as to be re- seem to exculpate him entirely, : upon another the reproach with which he stands accused. The extract is substan- tially in these words: «He (says Mr. E., alluding toa gentle-. man whose name is purposely withheld.) had the impudence to forward all the pur- chases he made during his journey, to my address; and to expect that [ would re- claim the same free of duty!

Cotton’ Factory.—The citizens of Ruth- erford county are earnestly talking of es- tablishing a Cotton Factory in their midst, with a capital of about -$10,000. We suppose it is designed as a mere experi- ment, and as we hope it may, 80 we be- lieve it will, succeed. The editor of the “ Mountain Banner” in an article on the subject, rather long for publication at present. speaking of the draining process to which Southerners choose to submit, has the following :— “ When we reflect upon the money which is annually taken from us and laid out at the North for articles of Northern manu- facture, it only seems wonderful that the country is not entirely exhausted. Look- ing both to our honor and interest we Most violent passion 5 and he is welcome to continue it at his pleasure.— My whole | action in the matter was right ; and Ihave therefore determined to let it stand, with- tempt at reconciliation. It is, | in fact, a good * finule’ to the series of dis- | agreeable interviews I have had with him. | “So much for petty quarrels. which. | considering the person who offended me, are hardly worth alluding to.” The Washington Union, of yesterday, | says on this subject: « We are unable to ascertain the facts of the case ; but we are satisfied that the late administration had no official informa- tion to direct them in the consideration of tegrity of our country to institute an in- vestigation into the truth of the case, and to act accordingly.” Since the above was in type. we notice the following in the Washington letter of Independent,” in the Philadelphia North American: The President has directed the recall of Mr. H. W. Ellsworth, as Charge d’AC- should rally to the support of factories and render ourselves independent of other sections so far as we are able.” We have itulicised the sentence to which we would direct especial attention. It has long excited our surprise that the Public Guardians of the South have not unceasingly thundered into the ears of the people their warning voice against this system of drainage; which, unless it is ar- rested, the South must continue to grow poorer and poorer, just as the “ skinning system” in Agriculture impoverishes and ruins the Jand.—Always taking off but never giving—always buying but never, or at least, butseldom selling —must event- ually bring on ruin and bankruptcy. Ex. amine the wardrobe of any friend, or your own wardrobe, and if the subject is new to you, you may be surprised to find that every article of his or ber clothing is of Northern Manufacture. This is almost his participation in the affair which has recently been the subject of so much just and indignant comment in the press. MR. CLAY ON EMANCIPATION. Mr Clay has published in the Baltimore Sun a letter on the subject of the emancipation of slaves in Kentucky. He says that after full and deliberate consideration of the subject, it him that three principles should reg- ulate the establishment of a system of gradual emancipation. We shall give the letter entire in a short time. We give at this time the fol- lowing synopsis furnished by the correspondent of the Charleston Courier : The first is that it should be slow in its ope- ious and gradual, so as to oc- disturbance in the existing habits of society.— Secondly, that it should be an indispensible condition that emancipated slaves should be re- moved to some colony. And thirdly, that the expenses of transportation to such colony, in- cluding an outfit for six months after their ar- rival, should be des(rayed by funds raised from the labor of such freed slaves. Nothing could be more ruinous than the im- medate liberation of all the slaves in the ments.—The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Express, says: Of “the Mexican Protocol,” I learn be- | hat I have before said, that it has) yond w been a subject of controv the official representatives of Governments, but the correspondence has decided nothing, and the subject has been bequeathed to the new Administration by the late dominant party, as one of the most intricate, perplexing, and difficult to | be disposed of. | ; . ae : ‘That period | would suggest should be 1855 ; | P 5 ’ Phe Mexican Minister claims that to or even 1866, for on this or any other arrange- | . all intents ( s 2 . ae | I inten and purposes the so called ; ments of the system, if adopted, I incline to a} ~ Protocol” is a part of the Treaty, and * | others | that without the explanatory provisions | tions, and unite as many opinious as possible. rinen | . ted of having | it could never have been “approved and | Whether the commencemnt of the operation of | written letters tothe captain, advising him to | signed” by the Executive and Ministers this syste of the Mexican Government. The answer is. that the Mexican Con- gress approved the treaty independently of the Protocol, and before the Protocol was signed, and that the explanations were an after act. The response is that it was no treaty without the official signa- tures, and that the Executive was a part of the treaty making power. and the on- ly negotiator known to the Mexican Gov- ernment. The replication again is that the treaty, as approved by the Senate and Executive here, is left open only to the fair construc- tion of the original text by both Govern- ments. There are points enough to make the controversy interminable. The Senate here. however, never knew anything of the Protocol until it was recently brought to light. They are, therefore, called up- on to disavow it. and the construction put upon it by the Mexican Government. It has been deemed necessary by some to raise this question before the payment of the second instalment of the $15,000,000. THE DIPLOMATI@SMUGGLING CASE.

TAYLOR ON DUELLING. The Washington correspondent of the New York Express, says : & One of the goud stories of the day, and one | of the most creditable to the President and ad. | ministration, is connected with the application for the restoration of two midshipmen, dismiss ed by Mr. Polk, for being engaged in a duel. The Secretary of the Navy, in Cabinet meet- ing this morning, informed the President that, he had read the petition, and cousidered that the midsbipmen ought not to be restored. “| am very giad of it,” said the President, “ for if the whole Cabinet bad thonght otherwise, I would not have consented to re-appoint these genilemen.

And as our people are anx- jous to hear all suggestions, we make an ct from bis letter, which we presome qill not be particularly objectionable to pim, 25 follows: «| see several routes suggested for your Plank Road. kt appears to me the only which can benefit your town would be to follow the route surveyed for the Rail Road several years since, passing in the upper end of Richmond county and griking the Pee Dee River near the mouth of Rocky River; and thence by Albe- marie to Salisbury. You would by this means through the fine cotton grow- ing region of the upper end of Richmond the lower end of Montgomery ; and a@ doubt get the cotton for your place which now goes to Cheraw. You will by this means approach Anson near e- nough to get some of hercotton. If your road runs by either of the other routes, it sses through sections which already rade with you, and only increases their facilities for transportation.” re This is the route most desired by the people of Salisbury, and we feel confident that if the road is made to touch Gold- Hill, which is directly on the route, a far ter amount of Stock will be taken by the people of Rowan than if it be run in any other direction. The energetic citi- zens of that thriving place, too, will be- sir themselves, and doubtless do the hand- some thing, as they are so well able to do. Aplank road between Salisbury and Gold- Hill would be valuable stock eventhough jt did not go a foot beyond either place. Bat if it forms a part of the road to Fay- etteville, there remains no doubt at all, but that it will prove the most valuable section of the whole work. (7°The lady of Col.

Mach excitement exists in Canada at the present time about questions connected with the late rebellion against the British authority, arising we believe, from the intro- duction into the Colonial Legislature a bill to remuner- ue those engaged in that rebellion for property destroy- ed. [¢ is apprehended that by reason of the excitement the scheme for annexing Canada to this Country, here- tolore talked of, may assume a more important and se- rious aspect. Writers at Washington confidently assert that the Administration will act promptly in the matter, and prevent, if possible, any unlawful interference on the part of our citizens. Gen. Wool, it is said, will be | gent to the Northern frontier, in case of such disturbance | in Canada, as to render such a precaution on our side advisable. A correspondent of the New York Express writes, March 19th “There have been important dispatches received here | to-day by the British Minister, touching affairs in Can- | You,in New York, are much nearer the scene of | difficulty than the people here, and know more of it | than we can.

He has fallen into to mistake as yet, and will not if he continues to exercise the same prudence and caution. I stated in a letter last week, that there were, | as yet, no signs of the adoption of a proscrip- ‘tive policy, but the appearance of things is ve. i ry different. I believe that the policy of at least two of the Departments—the Home and the General may prepare to join the army of political mar- | tyrs, in the course of the next quarter. The | whole thing is to be done systematically, and _in such a way asto avoid any invidious dis- | tinctions. | The re-appointment of a few office incum. | bents in Virginia, form an exception to the _ general rule, and was required in deference to | the non-proseriptive policy upon which Virgin. | ia has always acted in her State government.

The highest Whig authorities in each | Congressional district will be taken as the | proper guide for the department in the choice of persons to be appointed. In most cazes, the | authority of the member elect of Congress from | the district, will be taken; or if the election | has not taken place, then of the late Whig |'member. In Democratic districts, the Post. _master General must rely upon the next hest | Whig atithority that he can find—the Whig ' nominee or the Whig caucusses and conven- | tions. | It will probably require nearly a year for the | department, vigilant and active as it will be, to | ferret out all the Democrats who occupy sta- | tions it its gift. Some are more prominent | and will be sooner selected as marks than oth. ers. Thus, the postmaster in the capital of Pennsylvania, who edits a Democratic paper, need not think to avert his fate by publishing editorials complimenting Mr. Collamer on go. ing to school barefooted! If Mr. C. don’t leave that editor bare-headed, or rather head. less, before many days, then I am much mis. taken. As to the Home Department, I have no doubt that Mr. Ewing is preparing to work ex- tensive changes in all the offices subject to his control. The Marylanders and Virginians will suffer at his hands, whether Whig or Demo. crat. He will favor the West.

In that paper of Friday last fur example, the attention of its readers is called “to the moral effect” of the fact that the appointment of Mr. Penrose to the post of As. sistant Secretary of the Treasury has been de- clared to be not “an appointment of the Ad. ministration, but one made by Mr. Meredith,” (the Secretary of the Treasury :) whereat the venerable Editor expresses his horror of such a“ sbifiing of responsibility” from the Presi- dent upon his Secretary, and asks the question, “ And is this really the doctrine which is to be preached up by the Administration?” To which we reply, Yes, really: the doctrine '* preached up” by the present Administration is that of implicit obedience to the laws. In the very number of the Union in which this question is found was published at large the Act of Congress containing the provision by which the office of Assistant Secretary of the | ‘Treasury is established, the terms of which are literally as follows : “ Sec. 13 And be it further enacted, That an officer shall be appointed in the Treasury De. ‘partment by the Secretary of the Treasury, to be called the Assistant Secretary of the Treas. ury, whose salary shall be three thousand dol. 1 lars per annum, &c., and who shall perform all such other duties in the office of the Secre- | tary of the Treasury, now performed by some | of his clerks, as may be devolved on him by the Secretary af the Treasury.” &c. | Under this plain and positive enactment, | who but the Secretary of the Treasury could have appointed the Assistant Secretary ?

Editors :—I frankly and willingly confess | was a few days since deeply morti- fied, and humbled at a fact recently blazoned forth in a respectable periodical of extensive circnlation in the United States, viz: that by the census of 1840, the astounding truth is re- vealed, that in North Carolina there are 2502 distilleries, and 56,609 persons who cannot read or write—while in the State of Massachu. selts there are only 37 distilleries and 4861 persons who cannot read or write. You will see by a little calculation that our proportion of distilleries is more than eighty to one, and, of those who are unable to read or write more than twelve to one compared with Massachusetts. Now is there a connection between ignorance, and the prevalence of dis- lilleries, as cause and effect? Ths isa ques. tion I do not pretend to decide; one thing is certain both greatly prevail in our good old North State, and a further examination will show that there is as great a proportional num. ber who can neither read nor write—and in no other State, smaJl or great, are there much over half the number of distilleries, ‘Tennes- see and Virginia having only a fraction over half our number. I belong not, Messrs. Edit- ors, to the Sons of Temperance, but these facts show that they deserve the good opinion of the country as philanthropists and as patriots. Nor do I make sweeping denunciations againat the distillers of ardent spirits in North Carolina or elsewhere! and the abounding ignorance that surrounds! No! I desire to present facts not to the gaze of the world, but to ourselves. An evil can only be conquered by first looking it full in the face ; or in some other way becom. ing fully convinced of its existence. 1 have not the statistics before me to tell what portion of our State furnishes the greatest num. ber of distilleries, nor do [ know whether the Western or Eastern portions of the State fur- nish the greatest number who cannot read or Write,—but think it will be found much the greatest in the middle and western counties. If so, why is it? First, our roads and rivers furnish us with no adequate means of transpor- tation for heavy agricultural productions, hence much is converted into brandy and whiskey, thus making them portable for market, as the venders will say. ‘There is more of truth and more of necessity in this than at first view seems to present itself. But does this justify it? And is there not an influence, a debasing | influence upon public morals and intelligence, —that acts—and re.acts in such a manner as directly or indirectly tends to keep up the evils thus brought before us ? How is it, that while so much has been done by other States in Internal Improvements, and much comparatively for the Eastern portion of our own State; so little, so very little has been done for Western North Carolina? The fault is in a great measure our own! We sit in apathy and indifference, in ignorance and in stupidity, leaving others with less na. tural advantages to reap golden harvests, and feasts of increasing knowledge—while we, as | a community, with few, very few exceptions, | sit still in ignorance and stupidity, with only | now and then an occasional groan uf complaint, that we are not as well off as others ! The truth is, “the foundations of the great deep must be broken up” (if I may use such a metaphor.) before we can see ; and before we can be brought to act energetically for ourown welfare, and the good of our posterity. Much has already been spoken and written upon the sulyect of Internal Improvements of late; and may we not hope that something yet may be done? If we are to judge from past experience, we must answer this in the nega- live. But we live in an age of progression and of unprecedented improvement, and we cannot but be convinced that something must be done, and done speedily, to check the in. crease of emigration and (o better our own con- dition. Now, will we take hold of the great Central Rail Road? Will our great capitalists do any thing in this matter? I fear but litle! Who then must do the work? ‘The men with small means—if it is ever done; must do the work !! Let immediate steps be taken to obtain a survey and location of the route, and then, and | vot until then, will stock be taken. It remains to be seen whether then enough stock will be taken by those most interested to ensure the S Gk Pert é in ae Pe.

HE Subscriber, who owns one of the most valua- ble Water Powers in the Southern country, and having been struggling for several years to put it to work, and failing in success to the extent of his wishes, takes this method of soliciting aid. He wants Capita. THE EAGLE MILLS, as this place is called, is situated on Hunting Creek, in Iredell county, 28 miles west of Salisbury. It is, with- out doubt, one of the finest natural sites for Factories to be found. There is power sufficient to drive any num- ber of mills, or any amount of machinery. All who have seen it have pronounced it one of the first class,— a never-failing stream, and remarkable for its purity, it is adapted to the manufacture of paper, to calico print- ing, bleaching, &c. Situated in the neighborhood of several operating Cotton Factories, in a healthy, pro- ductive, thriving region of country ; within easy access to Salisbury, through which the great Central Rail Road is to pass, with much of the necessary labor towards the improvement of the place already done, it possesses ad- vantages rarely to be met with. The subscriber’s efforts to improve this valuable site, have resulted in the completion of a never yielding dam, a Saw Mill, in active operation, a Grist Mill, soon to be put in motion, and the commencement of a building 28 by 75 feet, designed for a Factory, about half finished. He wishes to push forward his improvements. To do this a handsome capital will be required, to obtain which he offers permanent surities. If he should not get it before the close of Spring, this valuable property, with the improvements, will then be for sale.

Not less difficult is a passage up and down the Mississippi, yet this may be said to swarm with them. Nor let.it be imagined that steamboats may not pass along a canal. In common canals they must not be ad- mitted, on account of the contracted limits of such canals for boats drawn by one or which steamboats work continually, and itis unnecessary to refer to any other than the Caledonian canal, through which | such boats run regularly, making a cir- Cuitous route, partly by sea and partly by the canal, between Edinburgh and Glas- gow.

Such a rail road can be made. provided every citizen will agree that each taxable poll shall pay thirty seven cents a year for the purpose. Every man will admit that would such a rail road be prepared for capitalists seize the profits of their business upon our sale or retail in salt, Sugar, tea, coffee, fish, and all sorts of dry goods for farm- ers and merchants through the country. That which was a maxim among the Jews of old, and which is applied in the scriptures, would hold here also. « Where- Soever the carcase is, there will the ea- gles be gathered together.” Wherever planters, manufacturers. and merchants can meet upon terms favorable to their mutual interests, there each will find the other prepared and eager for commercial transactions. The way then is clearly open before us. No sooner shall we resolve on the means, than we shall begin to see the end has- tening into execution. The consequences to result in changing the face of our coun- try, and in meliorating the condition of | the people, are absolutely incalculable, while they are absolutely sure. Suc, causes have operated heretofore to the relief and prosperity of others, and when- ever they are renewed, they will, with all the certainty of the immutable laws of nature, operate again. The work of a single year, after the commencement of such a rail-way at Newbern, will, by the practical and convincing evidence of its immediate utility, dissipate all our doubts and apprehensions, and we shall go on happily and with an irresistible ardour to its completion.

J supposed that Mr. Saunders was honored with a close intimacy by Mr. Polk, as he (Mr. S.) in reply to inqui- ries of Captain Elliott, formerly British Charge in Texas, had felt himself author- ized to state to the gentleman, (who, as ] presume, and as Mr. Saunders himself sup- posed, carried the information immediate- ly to Lord Aberdeen,) that Mr. McLane possessed in a higher degree than Mr. Buchanan, the confidence of the Presi- dent.” When it is borne in mind that this Mr. Reynolds was and is a Locofoco, appoint- ed to office by Mr. Polk, his picture of the duplicity of Polk and Saunders, and their utter want of confidence in Buchanan, is most striking. Mr. Reynolds states that our Minister lived in so retired a manner in Madrid, and was so little known, that the Spanish Prime Minister forgot to ask him to a form- al diplomatic entertainment, to which the Ministers of other governments were in- vited. “His ignorance of any modern language but his own, (says Mr. R.) ne- cessarily confined his social intercourse to the English residents at Madrid, and the few Members of the Diplomatic Corps, or Spaniards who understood hisown tongue.’ This ignorance of the Spanish language Mostellers Paper Mill place, is the Low- | rn Carolina.

What other Whigs may have done, says the New York Tribune, we do not know, but as to Mr. Webster. we are able to give our readers the following let- ter from him: Wasuwerox, March 12, 1849. My Dear Sir: I have received your let- ter of the 10th respecting Mr. Hannegan’s appointment as Minister to Prussia. The appointment can have surpised nobody more than it surprised me. The Senate having completed all its business, as I supposed, I left the Senate chamber be- tween six and seven o'clock on Sunday morning, the 4th of March. I had never heard a syllable of any intention of nom- jnating Mr. Hannegan as Minister to Prussia, or for any other office ; and sup- sed it certain that no nomination, of any kind, would be sent to the Senate af- ter that hour. When I heard, the next day, that Mr. Hannegan had been nominated to a For- eign Mission, and that the nomination had been confirmed, I at once contradicted ti, saying that [ had been in my seat every moment through the whole of the session of Saturday and Saturday night, and un- til broad daylight on Sunday morning, when the Senate was about breaking up, and I had heard nothing of any such nom- ination. I look upon this nomination, under the circumstances, as one of the most disre- putable proceedings recorded in the his. tory of the Government. I am, with much respect, your obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER.

Editors :—Being the youngest of the family of countiesin the Old North State, I feel some embarrassment in ask- ing you to publish, through your columns, a sketch of my history. Iam compelled to take this course, how- ever, from several considerations. I have long been treated rather unkindly by my neighbors, which was borne in silence. | have also been badly used by the State, but [ suppose that was through the influ- enceof my neighbors, excepting my neigh- bor Caldwell, who has been adear friend, as [ shall hereaftershow ; and I also have warm friends and supporters in Virginia and Tennessce, of whom J shall also speak. Now, Messrs. Editors, I might still bear these injuries in silence. but for one over- tuling consideration. The State now pos- sesses important interests in me and my Territory, and believing that those inter- ests have been neglected and may sustain injury by that neglect, duty alone should Prompt me to lay aside the diffidence na- tural tao youth, and speak with the bold- hess of riper years. It is true, that I have had a sort of dis- organized existence, as long as any of my older neighbors, but without authority and Without a name. My Territories have been in their possession, and so far from home that they neglected them entirely. Some of my fairest possessions—rich and extensive valleys which would almost compare with any in the State, have not even the advantage of a wagon road, that they might be settled and improved.— Now after such palpable neglect as this, itis unkind in my neighbors to laugh at the sparseness of my population, and mis- Tepresent my numbers. But sirs, my misfortunes are not half told yet. The Legislature at the last ses- sion being apprised of my grievances by tome of my people, resolved that they thould be redressed ; that I should be dis- enthralled ; set at liberty, and placed for the future on equal terms with my neigh- ts. And further, that I should have the Uline of my figure distinctly marked: and that | should havea heart of my own, Which should be the “ Seat of justice” and © better ordering of things.

The years of his boyhood were spent in Williamson Co., Tenn., whence he returned to North Carolina, and settled, having married the daughter of | Mr. Jedediah Wallace. He there became a_ professor of religion and an Elder of the Presbyterian Church of Concord. After some years he emigrated to the South West, and then to St. Louis, where he was an Elder in the Westminster Church ; and he under whose ministe- rial labors that Church was founded, remembers, in those | dark days, the labors of brother Cannon. He finally | settled at Nashville, as keeper of the Broadway House, ! a vocation he had followed for many years. Death by | cholera is of course sudden, and with great prostration of mind, he only had time to show in death, as in life, | in whom he trusted. We can say of him in the lan- guage of the Nashville Record, “ his decease has awak- ened a feeling of deep regret in the bosom of many.— He has left many behind him to depYore his departure. To his widowed help-meet, and her four fatherless chil- dren God alone can supply his place. May he be the busband of the widow, and the Father of her fatherless children.” Died, in Cabarrus County, on the 9th of March, after lingering for some months under the wasting influence of | Consumption, Mrs. CATHARINE D. McREE, consort of A.C. McRee, had been for many years, not only an exemplary member, but also a bright ornament of the Presbyterian Church. With a mind naturally vigorous | and highly cultivated, she was eminently qualified to act well her part in all the relations, and amidst all the chequered scenes of human life. Mrs. McRee secured in a high degree the confidence and esteem of all who knew her. But few of the human family, after living in this world of sin and death for more than half a cen. tury, are permitted to leave it having so many friends | and so few enemies, as had the subject of this notice. — The tears that were shed on the day that her lifeless body | was carried to the narrow home appointed for all the | living—while they were the least evidences of che strong hold which she had upon the affections of all classes of | the community in which she had resided. They also showed that in the family in which she had lived as an | affectionate wife, a kind parent, and an esteemed mis- tress, a breach had been made which could not be re- paired. But, it was uniform, humble, devoted piety that gave the brightest lustre to the character of Mrs. McRee.— }- She was emphatically a Bible Christian,—the Bible was the man of her counsel—the infallible rule of her faith and practice. And she was permitted during her pro- tracted illness to enjoy richly the consolations of that Gospel which she had long professed. To her, death was stripped of his sting, and the grave was robbed of its victory. Buta short time before her departure, she could say I know that when my earthly house of this tabernacle shall be dissolved, I shall have a building of God—a house not made with hands eternal in the heav- ens.

THE EAGLE MILLS, as this place is called, is situated on Hunting Creek, in Iredell county, 28 miles west of Salisbury. It is, with- out doubt, one of the finest natural sites for Factories to be found. ber of mills, or any amount of machinery.

This measure, sir, will relieve these Courts of their most unpleasant duties, their most on- erous burdens. It will leave them in the full exercise of all matters legitimately pertaining to the magistracy of the County. It will then be their pleasure and their pride, to secure fi- delity, accuracy, and economy in all our pro- bate policy and County regulations. Furthermore, sir, this bill will accomplish | its main great object, the more speedy and cer- tain administration of justice.

The scene was more beautiful far to the eye Than if day in its pride had arrayed it; The land-breeze blew mild, and the azure arch’d sky Look’d pure as the spirit that made it. The murmur rose soft, a9 I silently gaz’d On the shadowy wave’s playful motion, | From the dim distant bill, till the beacon fire blaz’d, | Like a star in the midst of the ocean. No longer the joy of the sailor boy’s breast Was heard in his wildly breath’d numbers, The sea-bird had flown to her wave-girdled nest, The fisherman sank to his slumbers. One moment I jook’d from the hill’s gentle slope, All hush’d was the billow’s commotion, And tho’t that the light-house look’d lovely as hope, The star on life’s tremulous ocean. The time is long past, and the scene is afar, Yet, when my head rests on its pillow, Will memory sometimes rekindle the star That blazed on the breast of the billow. Ia life’s closing hour, when the trembling soul flies, And death stilis the heart’s last emotion, O then may the seraph of mercy arise! Like a star on eternity’s ocean. THE BULL AND THE ANACONDA. We find in one of the English magazines an account, by a British officer, of an encounter between a wild bull and the immense serpent called the Anaconda, of which the writer says he was an eye witness, in the Island of Ceylon. | | | | | | ' | | | Afier a long detail of the first interview be- | tween the two animals, the writer informs us | that the bull, thinking the snake an ugly cus- tomer, cantered off and left him—trampling | down the scattered fallen branches with a tre- mendous crash. But on a sudden, a still loud. er and rattling rush was heard among the palms, and with a single spring the snake dart. ed down like a thunder clap, and twisted her. self with her whole body round the devoted bull. Befure the animal was yet aware of his dan. | ger, he already felt his delay inclozed between the wide expanded jaws of the monster, and her teeth stuck into it deeply. Roaring aloud he endeavored to flee, and succeeded in drag. ing his tormentor a few yards with him; but instantly she coiled herself round him in three | or four wide folds, and drew these knots so close together, that the entangled beast was incapable of moving, and remained as if rooted to the place, already struggling with the ter. rors and pangs of death. ‘Ihe noise of this ex- traordinary contest had been sufficient to put the remaining wild cattle to flight. Unequal was the strife, still it was not over, instantly. ‘The noble beast wanted no spirit to defend himself, nor was his strength easily | exhausted. Now he rolled himself on ground, and endeavored to crush the enemy with his weight ; now he swelled every nerve and exerted the power of every muscle to burst the fetters in which his limbs were enveloped ; | cal Gazeteer ; First Book of History ; Second and Third the | Morse’sdo ; National Readers ; Worcester’s do ; San- | Towns do; Novels!

Now then expected to see the Anaconda grat- ify the hunger by which she had been so long tormented ; but | was igsorant that it is not the custom of this animal to divide its prey, but io swallow it in one enormous morsel. ‘The size of the murdered bull made this impossible without much preparation ; and [ now learned from the snake’s proceedings the necessity in which there was for her always remaining in the neighborhood of some large tree. She again seized the bull with her teeth and dragged to the foot of the palin. Here she en. deavored to place it upright leaning against the trunk. Having effected this she enveloped the tree and the carcass together in one great fold, and continued to draw this closer, till she bad broken every individual bone in her victim’s body into a thousand pieces, and had actually | reduced it into a shapeless mass of flesh. In due time the Anaconda had fully prepar- ed her victim fur gorging, by covering the en- lire carcass with her sliine. ‘he act of swal- lowing, however, was not accomplished with. out violent effurts: a full hour elapsed, befure she had quite finished her dreadful meal; at length the carcass was entirely swallowed, and she stretched herself out at full length in the grass, with her stomach distended to the most astonishing dimensions. Every trace ot her former liveliness and activity had disappeared. Her immoderate appetite had now yielded her up impotent and delenceless, a prey even to the least formidable foe. I did not hesitate, therefore, to discharge my musket at the mon- ster ata moderate distance. The hall struck her close hy her eve. She felt herself wound. ed; her body swelled with spite and venom, and every stripe of her variegated skin shone with more brilliant and vivid colours. But as to avenging herself upon her assailant, of that she Was not totally incapale. She made one vain attempt to regain her old retreat among the boughs of the palm-trees, but sank down again upon the grass motionless and helpless. ‘low Tomatoe ; Early Yellow sugar, red turnip, long | blood, and white sugar Beets ; early York, sugar loaf, | | winter drumhead, flat Dutch, red Dutch, and mountain | ‘State of Porth Cavolina, I | mas Hayse, in the above named case, reside beyond the The | report of my musket was the signal agreed up. | on to give notice to the expectant crowd, that they might approach without danger.

Voice of the Presbyterian Church. | Amid the numerous complaints relating to the back- wardness of Ministers and Churches in the cause of Temperance, it might almost be taken for granted that | they had none of the fire of love which so filled the | breast of the Apostle as to make him resolve to eat no flesh while the world standeth, should it cause a brother | to offend, and no sympathy for those who are sunk in | degradation. Indeed in many circles it seems to be en- tirely conceded that there is in the Churches not only a marble coldness, but a deadly poison. A writer in the Maryland Herald has collected all the notices taken of | the cause of Temperance in the annual reports of the | General Assemb!y, since 1832, and we confess ourselves | surprised to find so much said in favor of this cause, and | so little from year to year to ics disparagement. That | Church has annually rejoiced in its prosperity and growth; | sympathize with it in all its obstructions and bade it onward to perfect triumphs. In conclusion the writer says: “ This is the voice of the Presbyterian Church, not of an individual or a few, or of one section of the United States, but delegates from all Presbyterian Churches of | the United States. who undertake to question the policy of action by Church Courts upon this subject, but there is not a man we judge in the ministry, who will not say it would be a blessed day for the Church and the world when the spirits which are productive of these evils should be banished from use among men. “Tt may be objected by some that there are many | members of the Church. even officers, who continue to There are Ministers (but only a few) traffic in these drinks, but the number of such daily de- creases. And we venture to say that there can scarce- | ly be found a member of that Church, under 25 or over 40, who is engaged in the traffic. The fact is that the moral sense of the community holds it disreputable, and the man to be abandoned who in this day will undertake for profit to enter upon this business. “The General Assembly has expressed an opinion which fully accords with the sense of the community— that the blessing of God cannot be expected to rest upon any Church which sanctions or tolerates in her commun- ion, men who, professing godliness, are engaged in a | business which so appropriately belongs to a servant of | | Satan. | | Turintinc Incinenr.—At a Temperance meeting in Philadelphia, some years ago, a learned clergyman spoke | in favor of wine asa drink: demonstrating it, quite to | his own satisfaction, to be Scriptural, gentlemanly, and healthful. When he sat down, a plain, elderly man rose, | and asked leave to say a few words. ‘“ A young friend | | tion, and excellence of material, cannot be surpassed by | any work in the southern country. They have in their employ a large number of excellent | workmen. Their blacksiniths, wood-workmen, trim- mers,and painters, are all men of experience, and have few equals as to skill in their several departments. Repairing done on very short notice.

He kept the pledge faithfully for | some time, struggling with his habit fearfully ; till one | evening, in a social party, glasses of wine were handed | around. They came toa clergyman present who took | a glass, saying a few words in vindication of the prac- | tice. ‘“ Well!” thought the young man, “if a young clergyman can take wine, and justify it so well, why not ‘1?’ So he took a gtass. It instantly rekindled his | fiery and slumbering appetite, and after a rapid down- | ward course, he died of delirium tremens—died a rav- , ing madman.” The old man paused for utterance, and was just able to add: “ That young man was my son, and the clergy- | man was the Rev.

It were easy to make addresses to our pride or our passions, to become exuberant in figures of rhetorick, and to present a thousand phantoms to play delightfully before our wrapped im- aginations.

And at any of these places, it may in an hour be determined, where is the best market along the whole extent of the line, through the whole of our own State, and in foreign countries, for such articles as it may be our object to vend.

M. Niepce was a simple proprietor, who lived in a country house on the banks of the Saone. He was a lover of science, | but made no pretension to learning. His photographic attempts go back to 1813, /and he made his discovery in 1814. | “The principles of his photographic | proceedings,” according to the journal al- | luded to, * were of wonderful simplicity. | He knew, what all painters knosy, that a | certain resinous substance of a black co- | lor, asphalte, exposed to the action of the | light, bleached very quickly ; he knew, | what all chemists know, that most of the | _compounds of silver, which are naturally | | without color, bleached by the action of | | luminous rays. This is the use he made of this property. He occupied himself at } | first with an object very insignificant in | -appearance, but which had the advan. _tage of preparing and proving his future | proceedings. Ile applied himself to the reproduction of engravings. He varnish- ed an engraving on the back to render it more transparant, and he put it afterwards ‘ona plate of pewter or tin, covered with la layer of asphalte. The black parts of | the engraving arrested the luminous rays; on the contrary, the transparent parts, or those which present no line of the graver, allow them to pass through freely. The luminous rays, passing through the trans: | parent parts of the paper, go to whiten the layer as asphalte spread over the me- tallic plate, and thus was obtained a faith- | fulimage of the drawing, in which the lights and shades preserved their natural | situation. By afterwards plunging the metallic plate into the essence of laven- | der, the portions of asphalte not impress: | ed by the light were dissolved, and the image was thus protected from the ulte- rior action of the light. * Meantime the photogenic-copying of | engravings was only a prelude to more | interesting operations. The end to be obtained was the reproduction of the | drawings of the camera obscura. Every | body knows the camera obscura. Itisa sort of box, closed on all sides, into which the light introduces itself through a small | orifice. ‘The luminous rays emanating from objects placed without intersect each other at the entrance, and produce a de- creased representation of these objects.— | | | | | To give more field to the image, and to. augment the distinctness of it, a conver- | gent lens is placed at the luminous orifice | of it. It becomes, then, an artificial eye on which all exterior views are painted. | These ephemeral images are to be fixed; the camera ohséura is a mirror; of this mirror a picture is to be made. “ Niepce resolved this problem in 1824. | |To a plate of plated or silvered copper | _he applied a layer of asphalte. The plate | thus covered was placed in the camera obscura, and the image transmitted by the lens of the instrument is made to fall upon its surface. At the end of a some- what long time the light had acted on the | sensible substance. ‘The plate then being | plunged into a mixture of essence of lav-| ender and petral, the parts of the bitu- | minous plaster that the light bad struck remained untouched; the others dissolved rapidly. A drawing was thus obtained, in which the light corresponded to the light, and the shades to the shades; the, lights were formed by the whitish plaster | of bitumen, the shades by the polished and uncovered parts of the metal, the half | tints by the portions of varnish on which | the dissolvent had partially acted. These | metallic drawings had only a mediocre | vigor; Niepce attempted to give them | strength, by exposing the plate to the spon. | taneous operation of iodine, or vapors | emanating from sulphuret of potass, with the design of producing a black or color. | ed ground, on which the lines should be ‘drawn with more firmness and vigor; he succeeded, however, but incompletely.— The inconvenience of this photograph- | ic method, however, was the length of | time exacted for the luminous impression. | The asphalte is a substance which takes the impression of the light very slowly ; | as much as ten hours’ exposure is neces. | sary to produce a design. During this interval the sun, which does not await the good pleasure of this indolent substance, displaced the lights and shadows before | the reflection was entirely fixed. The | success could never be assured before- | hand. This process then very imperfect ; | nevertheless, as it is perceived, the photo- graphic problem was resolved in its prin- ciple. “Considering his discovery, under all its aspects, Niepce thought that, by apply- ing the art of engraving to his results, he | should render his invention more usefal, and give it a serious development. His attempts in this new direction were crown- Let us consider that it ie as —rest !”’—Communicator. ed with success. In attaching his plates | it. ‘him from another quarter, by a weak acid, he cut into the metal, the parts protected by the resinous coat re- maining untouched. He formed thus plates for the use of engravers.” M. Daguerre, who followed Niepce in his interesting studies and discoveries, was a skilful painter in Paris, and the in- ventor of the Diorama. It was in 1826 that he first received, in the shop of a Pa- ris optician, the news of Niepce’s discov- eries. Means were then employed for bringing the two philosophers together, and an intimacy sprung up which lasted four years, during which time Daguerre became possessed of all the facts relating to the discoveries of Niepce. Once ini- tiated into the secret, Daguerre -applied himself without relaxation to bring the discovery to perfection and the result is now before the world in the beautiful por- traits and pictures of the Daguerreotype. It seems to be an established fact that the real inventor of what is called the _Daguerreotype was Niepce, who, at the age of 63 years, died in 1833. It was not reserved for him to enjoy the definitive triumph in which he had placed the hopes of his life. He died in poverty and ob- scurity. The combined discoveries of Niepce Were first announced to the public by M. Arago in 1839. A short time afte: this the art became public property, and a national recompense was awarded to Da- guerre in the shape of a pension of 6,000 franes ; and to a son of Niepce a pension of 4,000 francs. With regard to the ad- vantages which have already acciued to the world from the invention of photogra- phy, they are matters which we leave for the investigation of those who are inter- ested in the inquiry and are qualified for The few facts that we have now giv- en were new to us, and we presume will _be so to many of our readers.—Nuat. Int. cannes CUBA.—DIPLOMATIC DISCLO- SURES. The Charleston Courier of the 22d inst.‘ contains an Address to the Publié by Thomas C. Reynolds, Esq., of Virginia. late Secretary of the American Legation at Madrid, mainly explanatory of his conduct in certain particulars, in which it appears that the Minister (Mr. Saun- ders) and himself disagree. The commu- nication of Mr. R. occupies several col- umns of the Courier, and, embracing as it does references to various subjects of diplomatic aim and anxiety, on the part ‘of other Legations at Madrid as well as our own, it is not without public interest ; but, as all these are mixed up with mat- ters of personal and official controversy with the Minister, and animadversion on his character and proceedings, we do not ‘feel at liberty to transfer the article to our columns. One of its topics, however is of such grave concern, and discloses so confidently a deep scheme of our Demo- cratic Administrations, which they have appeared to disavow, and would fain have the country to discredit, that we consider it proper to quote the testimony of Mr. Reynolds on the subject ; and this is no less than the alleged intrigue set on foot with a view to the acquisition of Cuba. The following passages (divesting them of some personal references)contain what Mr. Reynolds says in regard to that mat. ter: “ The instructions given by Mr. Forsyth [when Secretary of State] in relation to Cuba, the very existence of which I felt bound to keep concealed, until it was re- vealed by Mr. Cass in his published / speech on the Yucatan question, and the terms of which I have communicated to no one—were consideied by me, as soon -as ] examined them, (in May, 1847.) to be eminently unconstitutional. It was chief- ly for this reason that I called the atten- tion of the Department of State to them, in my first despatch in relation to the An- glo-Spanish debt, though the humbleness | of my position prompted me to make no comments on their legality or propriety. In addition, I felt assured that they bad ‘had the most disastrous effects on our re- lations with Spain, particularly in refer- ence to our present and also our possible ' | future interests in Cuba. I did not conceal from Mr. Saunders, and I was gratified to find before my depart- ure from Madrid that, when suggested to the latter of the opinions above expressed was. in prac- tice, adopted by him. But, somewhat to my surprise, he had, on his retarn from France, thought proper to act on these in- structions, although he had himself refer- red them back tothe Department of State for re-vision, to Mr. Buchanan, because | to a crisis shortly.” he “had greater confidence in the present [Mr. Polk’s] Cabinet in regard to this important subject, and should like much to have the benefit of his[Mr. Buchanan s) views, so as to avail himself [Mr. Saun- « These views I. | The excitement bas got among the irreligions jthe week ending on the 17h | 192 were of cholesa. ex - St + eg ~ gg “tr te = pe ae ti “ : Uwe oe A, * = ex ularly supported that princi ty (expressed in one of the the Baltimore Convention) ‘we on all officers of she Governme! er hamble their sphere,:to carry conservative doctrine.

Herald, dated Madrid, September 19, 1848, amount to an assertion that Mr. Polk’s Adminis- tration had given Mr. Saunders instruc: tions, under which that Envoy conceivced himself authorized ‘to sound the Sp:nish Government on their dispositions to sell or cede the Island of Cuba to the United States,’ and, if so, to buy it; that Mr. Saunders ‘ made an informal inquiry’ into the subject ; and that‘ accordingly negoe tiations, with that objectin view, may be said to be opened by the despatch’ con taining these instructions. Ot the sabe stantial correctness of those assertions®Z have not the slightest doubt. The Spanish Government, very properly confining ‘it- self to its own acts and availing itself of the careless expression of the correspon- dent, has denied that there were any ne- gotiations on the subject; for ‘ negatias. tion’ is a technical term with s fixed meaning, and the Spanish Government could with truth deny its existences. for as I am entirely sure, in answer to the ine quiry of Mr. Saunders, the Duke of Va- lencia (General Narvaes) gave the same answer which he gave to the inquiry made him in the Courts, some months | before, and when he has repeated in reply to the same inquiry when made of him lately, as published in the American pa- pers. HadI had any doubt of the cor- rectness of the assertions of the Herald's correspondent, it would have been entire-: ly removed by the fact that the official organ of the late Administration [the Un- ion] confined itself to copying the deniat of the Spanish Government; by what I learned of the matter in Cuba itself; by the reasons given by Mr. Berrien in the |U.S. Senate for his request that Mr. Mile ‘ler should withdraw his resolution of in- _quiry onthe matter; by the tactics of Mr. Rusk and Mr. Foote in the Senate debate thereon; and by the fact that, though Mr.) | Miller’s resolution was adopted, there has been no response to it on the part of the President of the United States, unless that response hus been communicated in secret. session of the Senate.” ’ sip > ee 3 es | pe " > vinadb< 356 * ot olin iad” seh ak ‘ 6 Our readers will recollect that the Spane, |ish Government gave an apparent cons | tradiction to the reality of this alleged overture, and the organ of Mr. Polk's ad- | ministration in this city endotsed this con- | tradiction by copying it.

Eprrors: Impelled by @ curiosity to see one of the most distinguished prophets of the nineteenth : ; rith a few friends, left this place eentary, J, in company w Miller. th id a few days since tv visit Father Miller, the modem Prophet, whose fame is so extensive and whose prophe- cies at poe time created sucha sensation throughout the country. We found him living ina plain but comfort- able dwelling in Washington County, N. Y., surrounded the common comforts of life, but nothing that seemed to convey the ideaof affluence or luxury. If he be in the opulent circumstances he is sometimes represented, there is indeed bat little display about his residence or farm. Alttough there is a peculiar neatness within his pouse. the outward appearance seems to indicate the dual waste of time. We were received by Mr. Mil- ler himseif in @ very cordial manner, and entertained for a couple of hours quite agreeably. He is 6? years of age and is evidently in bad health, suffering ander some pulmonary disease, accompanied with partial loss of vision, which renders him unfit for reading and writing—a misfortune he seems very much to deplore. Probably a little chagrined at the non-fal- filment of his predictions of °43, and the consequent mortification by the taunts of his eneniies, he is never- theless sanguine that the time is nearat hand when this earth is t@ be purified by fire, and the second advent to take place After a review of the whole Scriptures, he has found, to his no sma!! gratification, that in making out his chro- nological table, he was seven years in advance of the time; but that there now remains no doubt, if the Scrip- tres be true, that the second Advent wil! assuredly take place in 1850—a time he looks to with a great deal of solicitade, and longs for its coming, when the wicked are to be destroyed—the righteous to be changed in the twinkling of an eye from mortality to immortaiity, and then throagh eternity to occupy this earth nade a heav- en by the presence of none but saints, and the entire an- Bibilation of al! that is evil. Sach is a summary of the views he entertains.— Whether they are the delusions of a fertile imagina- tion, accompanied with a thirst for fame, or whether they were from the first ingenious devices got up for pe- euniary considerations, we can’t divine. He is evidently a man of most remarkably retentive memory—of great observation, and of talents probably above mediocrity ; although his personal appearance would not warrant the belief, that he, in a few years, could raise an excitement, that was to operate in many instances. with such marked and fatal results from one ead ef the Union to the other. C; Reception of the x. President in Nash- ville.—Mr. Polk arrived at Nashville (Tenn.) on the 3d April, and was received at the Janding by a large concourse of citi- zens, without distinction of party. Taking his seat in an open barouche, he was es. corted by the multitude with a band of masic to the pnblic square, where he was welcomed home by a speech from Ex. Governor, A. V. Brown. to which he re. plied (nccording to the « Banner”) in very sppropriate terms, thanking the assembled eitizens for the manifestation of their re- gard-and respect, and expressing his great satisfaction at having arrived once more upon the soil of Tennessee. Mr. Polk confined his remarks mainly to a feeling acknowledgment for the welcome ten- dered him, gratified, as he expressed him- self, that he had returned once more amongst those to whom he had been large- ly indebted for public honors, to be once more a private citizen. The “Banner” adds: “Mr. Polk looks broken to a wonderful degree since his elevation to the Presiden. ty, his hair having become quite white, 8nd to look at his worn face, marked by the lines of care, is enough to convince any one that the honors of office are but a foor compensation for the anxieties and toils incident to public station.” Arkansas Election.—A lluding, recently, to the guber national election in Arkansas, we ‘tid that: Roane, the democratic candidate, Would be elected “of course.” [t does not em to follow, though as a matter of course, for there have been twenty-two counties ofh- tially heard from, and in these Wilson, the hig candidate, has a majority of 245,— Hence, if Roane he elected, it is by “the skin bis teeth.” This state of things is attribu- fed to the usual cause—* general apathy,” NV.

PRIZE ESSAY ON THE RENOVATION OF WORN OUT LAND. BY EDWARD S8TABKER, Of Sandy Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland Tue publisher of the American Farmer having offered @100 for the three best Essays on the above subject, viz: $50 for the first, 830 for the second, and $20 for the third ; the Committee appointed for the pur- pose, consisting of Dr. J. W. Thompson, of Delaware, and Jadge Chambers, Messrs. C. B. Calvert, A. Bow- je Davis, and N. B. Worthington, of Maryland, unani- mously awarded the fullowing the first prize. In submitting the following Essay upon the * Renovation of Worn out Lands,” it is deem- ed proper to state, that the wriler understands the main object in view of the editor of the American Farmer to be, the eliciting of such information as is heat adapted to the wants of thereat majority of the farmers; those who are dependant on the product of the soil for a support, and whose resources are comparative. ly Jimited : for although it may he equally de. sirable ty those wih more ample means, to im. prove their lands at the least expense of time and money, yet the number of such is compar. atively small ; and it is not perceived why the same plan may net suit both; the one who * livee Ly the sweat of his hrow,” improves his ten acrea, while he with the © plethoric purse,” may. in the same time enrich his hundred acres. With thia view, therefore to adapt it tothe more numerous class of readers, the effort will be made.te condense the essay as much as possi- ble, and so plain, and free from technicalities, that * he that runs may read.” It is almost impossible to establish a theory, or mode of farming, that can be made to suit alike all localities; of soil, climate, and the fa- eilities of olaining the various kinds of manure, naw in use in different sections of the country. Bat it is befeved, that with prompt energy and indastry on the part of farmers, and even with the. present faciliiies of transportation, an increase of double, if nut quadruple the lime, mas. aad boars. might be used to advantage ; the two former in many sections of our country are ineshaustible for generations lo come ; and a much greater amount of the latier might: be obtained in sections where they are not used, lat greatly needed, if more attention was paid to their collection aad preservation. The ficst step.] would advise towards the * Renovation of Worn out Lands,” is a comm. | plete avd thorough draining, both surface and | vuder drains, where the location aad nature of | the soil cender it too retentive of moisture late | in the spring. Ii retards early seeding ; the winter grape and grass roolsare very liable to be thrown out and injured by frests; and on such land. the injury from drought is much more severely felt. The writer has not known a case where this operation was performed with ordi. | nary skill and judginent, that did not fully re- pay the espense ; and in some cases the pro- duct was increased from five to ten fold. To go into a full description of the methods need, in different: sections, to accomplish this mast imporiant branch of the husbandman’s du- ty. Would require diagrams, and also too much space; deris it considered necessary ; for in the © American Farmer,” (which every tiller vf the soit oughtio possess,) very full and am. ple information may be obtained on the subject, A few general observations here may suffice. If the sail is rendeged tao wet by springs, whose | sources are lower than the surrounding land, | the drains must he extended to at least the same level, be the distance and depth what they may : | of te sufficient depth below the surface tu admit | of uudee-dreining clear of the plough. ‘This | may Sometimes he effected h ning through | the elay sub.soil, and without call etpense of | ditehing, as the water can then pass off through | the ander stratum of gravel, or sand. | Wherever the under drains will answer the | purpose, they should he adopted, for the Jand | Sei ovelnimed le clin the most profirable for efits, io 1. wad where the expense of sbriek, | » '® tue greal, of suitable stone cannot be | \ construct trunk drains, a good substitute | fs generally withiu reach, by twelve to fifteen aackes in depth of small loose stoues, coveriag = * , = <n lll ; yt first with leaves, straw, or sinell brush, to pre, vent filling the interstices with the returne | earth. -“boge’ ar*poles, laid lengthwise; “also form good unde ~drains, but are ere ua to clog from deeay. ee ey ot The next important step it ay . “ renovating worn-out lands,” isto} deep and thos-€xpose a, few surfiice to the action of frost and atmospheric influence, in order to make a soil in place of the one provided hy na- ture, but which, either from eupidity or bad management—perhaps boih—man has destroy. ed. It is considered one of the most certain means to altain this desirable end; and al. though sub soil ploughing is fully approved of, | foot below the surface. it is considered Jess important than to break up the earth from seven to ten inches, ifthe sub. sequent treatment is properly attended to. ‘The writer is well aware, that there is a strong feeling of prejudice in the tninds of ma- ny individuals against this practice. What are the arguments of the advocates of shallow ploughing? ‘They say, in so many words, “our suil is only a few inches deep, and if we do not plough shallow, we shall turn up so much clay or dead earth, as to raise no crop at all.” It two or three inches of vil is buried in the spring, under beed of five or six inches of clay, and thus left without further aid, or pre- paration for a crop that season, the result would generally be as stated. That shaliow ploughing enables the farmer to get clear more readily of the little soil or monld he may have on bia worn out lands, is susceptible of easy demonstration ; nor is it less so, that either in a very wet or very dry season, the crop, from this cause, generally suffers. During the summer months, the greater por- tion of the rains fall hastily ; and whenever the ground is not opened, and previous to a suff. cient depth to imbibe the whole, before the sur. plus water can penetrate, and be absorbed by the compost subsoil, a large postion of the sur- face becomes fluid, and rapidly passes off, or “washes away,” unless the land is perfectly | level, What remains, afier being so thorough. ly saturated, has a tendency to settle into a compact mass; soon parting with its scanty | supply of moisture under hot summer’s sun, and | rendering it impervious to the roots of plants. If a drought succeeds, a soil in such state can afford but a meagre supply of moisture to nour. ish a crop; and at a period, too, when the greatest amount is needed. Nearly all plants imbibe more or less moisture from the earth by their roots; and if this support is withheld they cannot continue in a healthy and vigorous state, Indeed, so necessary is this element, that ma- ny of our grass seeds, and planta, will not only vegitate, but grow vigorously fur a considera. ble period, with no other support to their roots | than what can be devised from pure water. I ain confident that in most of our lands that have become sterile, the cause is to be attribu- ‘ted more to shallow ploughing, and washing away of the liule soil they possessed, than to the extraction of the vegetable nutriment, by the growth of plants; in fact, it is almost a necessary consequence of this pernicious prac- tice. If the toiling farmer or planter is able to purchase a dressing of mineral manure, or fortunate enough to scrape together a seanty supply of vegetable matter from the resources of the farm; large portion of it is carried off by the first dashing rain to enrich stil more the beds of creeks and rivers. Having stated some of the disadvantages, which attend shallow ploughing, we wll now briefly enumerate some of the advantages of deep ploughing, when judiciously pursued. Ju the successful cultivation of all our crops it is necessary that ample food be provided, and in an accessible forin; and that moisture, equally accessary, be administered, in neither too greal nor too stnall quantities, “This will probably be admitted by all; and it is presum. ed the admission will also be made, that the greatest amount of nourishment devived by all our field crops is from the earth, By deep ploughing, it rarely occurs that a fall of rain is so great or sudden as completely to saturate the body of earth acted on by the plough; and un. il such is the case, but litte danger is to be apprehended of “washing away ;” and just as little, that the plants will soon require a re- newal of moisture, caused by evaporation.— This soi] much longer retains its loose and fri- able texture, and enables the roots readily to extend in all directions in search of their ap. propriate nourishment; for the same reason that deep tilth adinits of closer proximity of the plants, without sustaining equal injury from drought, and turning yellow, or firing, common parlance. I would ask the advocates in shallow plough. ing, or the skinning system, as it has heen apt- ly termed, if they have not observed the bene- ficial effects of eaith taken out of the cellars, wells, pits, &e., when applied to very poor land?) And have they not observed a luxuri- ant growth of grass and weeds on ditch banks and mill races; even to the highest points, when level enough to retain the moisture that | falls? [ have ofien noticed such effects ; and have almost unifurmly observed, that if earth thus taken from below the serface was capa. ble of being pulverized by frost or tillage, in. creased fertility was the result. Such being the ease, is there any valid reason for suppos. ing that still nearer the surface so much differ- ence can exist, that while one will render the same land sterile, the other will positively en. | rich it?) Tf advantage will result from mixing with the soil the earth taken from many feet below the surface—and that such is the case [ have had repeated evidence, and using it for this express object—I cannot perceive why a portion of the same fertilizing property may not be found in the earth, only a few inches ora And last, though not least, in the catalogue of advantages, the all important item of manure is rendered more available, and consequently, the land is both immediately and permanently benefitted. But deep ploughing alone, much as it is advo. cated, will not speedily make poor land rich. ft also requires some judgment when, and to what extent it should be carried. Lands that are to be ploughed much deeper than usual. should be broken up in the fall; no crop should he seeded the ensuing season, that does not ad- mit of frequent ploughing or harrowing ; and if | practicable, give it x dressing, before planting, (unless previously prepared for the operation, by lining a year or two in advance,) of lime, or some other kind of manure. These two branches, viz: draining and ploughing, are considered impostaat in the sys. tem of renovation, and more might be added ; but perhaps sufficient space has been deviited to them, with the further remark, that no land | with a clay subsoil should be ploughed, either deep or shallow, when ia a@ state teo wet to crumble or break freely before the plough. The Injury is irreparable, at least for that season, as nothing short of a winter’s frost will effectually pulserize it. We will now proceed to the third important step ta the process of “renovating worn ji eae a « nd leation of uia- : ppt mat: * landa:” the proper bind, aures, viz: stable manure, the’ igh er, aud ecn in transportation cheap. (=tcept per without first having fully availed himself of all his own resources ; and his mannge heap, toa, should be his first care. No farmerneed ever be at a loss for profitable employment for bim- self and hands, in adding to bis stock of this all important requisite to successful operations, and in preventing the loss and was ! ready accumulated. Whennot necessarily oth. erwise engaged, the time is well employed in many situations by hauling the rich earth, and decomposed vegetable matier which bas accu- mulated in the marshes, leaves, weeds, &c., and incorporating them with the contents of his barn yard; independent of their own fertilizing properties, they are valuable as absorbents, to receive and retain the more volatile ingredients ‘that might be lost in the process of fermentation and decomposition; a few bushels of plaster may be used with much advantage for the same object. It was the maxim of a wise man, who began the world with nothing, and became independ. ent—and that, too, without the charge of dis. honesty or extortion ever having been allege against him—thal-*a penny saved is a two pence gained.” [1 is emphatically true, with regard to the saving, and judicious application of manure. As an evidence of what care and attention in regard to making and saving manure will accomplish, it is within the knowledge of the writer, that two loads of manure (with two yoke of oxen) have been hauled out this season for every acre of arable land on the farm 3 and, with a small exception, produced on the farm it- self, without extraneous eid. As germane to our present purpose and ob. ject, [ will here remark, that many farmers, whose lands most require “renovating,” keep too many horses; in nineteen cases out of ‘twenty, and for nearly all farm purposes, one or two good yoke of oxen are decidedly preferable. They cost no more at first, and will perform twice the labor, save in expense of harness, and still more in keeping; and after working five or six years under good management, are usu- ally worth more than the first cost, for the sham. | bles.

On motion, Martia Sigman, Esq:,, was | called to the Chair, and Jonas Bost, ap- pointed Secretary. The object of the meeting being explained by M. L.

For the first few years of the war, they took no active part in it; but some of them caused considerable annoyance to the Whigs by their robberies, especially by horse-stealing. Having committed depre- dations in this way, they would fly to the mountains, and were there concealed,— Bat the Whigs of the Fork, assisted by their friends South of the South- Yadkin, | and furnished with a sufficient force for. protection, would pursue the rogues, often recover their property, and punish the of. aptains Bowman and Dobson from Burke ; and Gen. Rutherford now finding | himself atthe head of a considerable body | of men, movedtowards the enemy’scamp: | about 300 mounted infantry, many of them | | officers, formed the advance guard, while of the infantry followed on under the officer | 4 | in command. The advance party, after | ; /a march of 15 miles, having reached the | as Whigs among them, and a third party | _enemy’s camp, reconnoitred it without be- ing discovered. Some difference of opin- ion now arose as to the best course to pur- sue. Col, Locke,and perhaps some others thought that they would better wait til the infantry arrived; Captains Falls Armstrong, Col. ght to! avail themselves of the advantage of at- tacking by surprise. After some discus- sion the latter opinion prevailed. The first step was to send an express to Gen. Rutherford to hasten on with the infantry for they intended an immediate attack. The Spartan number, 300*, with some- | thing of the Spartan spirit, now divided He soon found himself at the head of a | large body of tories that flocked to his standard from every direction, particular. ly his friends in the Fork. What increased still more the distress the Whigs in that region was a false report from the army in Lincoln, that it had been totally defeated ; that Captain Armstrong was killed, and his whole com- | pany either not willing to believe erning their army, sent several neighborhoods to learn the truth; and by them intelligence of Bryant’s movements reached Ruther. | ford’s army, and all the men from that quarter were dismissed to return and de- | fend their families and property. They left the camp the morning after | the battle, and those on horseback reached | home that night. The next morning was the time appointed by Captains Caldwell, Nicholas, and Sam'l. Reed, to meet at | into two equal bodies; the first was to | ‘advance and fire, then retreat, and form | _in the rear of the second fenders by Lynch law. some place in the Fork to oppose Bryant. But as the seat of war seemed to be , in the mean!

After the close of the battle he went among the wounded and finding one shot through the shoulder, and on enquiry as to the way he received his wound, found him to be the man he had shot, and dressed the wound for him.

Business generally in the French manufac. became more active. In the beginning of the year 1780. they began to collect in companies, but the Whigs would always featier them before they joined large bodies. In May, 1780, when Charleston surrendered to the British army, and Lord Cornwallis was full of hope that he would redeem his pledge made to his friends before he left England, (which was that if they would give him four regiments of Regulars, he would march triumphant from one end of the Continent tothe other;) and he had marched up as far as Camden, many of the South Carolinians joining his standard; and the news had spread through all the upper country; then all the tories were in motion; the encamp. | ment near Lincolnton was founded the lat- ler part of that spring, or the beginning of the summer, for when taken in June, tt was found to be old camp. Their ob- ject was to be ready to join Cornwallis on his march, and a considerable body of men soon collected. The tories were in Motion in every direction. The Whigs Using all means in their power to keep them down, succeeded in distressing them before they collected in large numbers; the Whigs often ventured out in one direc- tion in the evening, and before day the Rext morning would be called upon to go iM another. But they were always ready tid willing to go, never lying down at night, without placing their arms so that they could lay their hands on them at any Moment. Col. Bryant, a citizen of the Fork of the Yadkin, a man of some talents, had considerable influence with the tories of his vicinity; he was not idle, but was alraid to come out publicly. He, how- ever, caused it to be reported that the war would soon end, and that all the Jand belonging to the rebels would be confis- cated, and the King’s friends would be the Owners. This drew off many of the neutral par- ty: horse-stealing now increased : horses Were in greater demand; but the Brushy Mountains were not asafe retreat, they to Lincolnton, and there found a Market for their horses, and protection for. persons; as was evident from the | fact thay several horses, stolen in the Fork ¢ Yadkin, were recovered at the bat. © of Ramsour’s Mill. Lynch-law was. often enforced, and offenders joined the mp in Lincoln, till a formidable body in had been collected. This caused no. Oneasiness to the Whigs, who re- | Ved to attack them, and break up their. 7 ipment. This was in the latter part | "ane, 1780, and it Appears to be a cri- | i time to load as they retired; the second division was to advance and fire, retreat and in like manner form in the rear and 'load; thus to draw the enemy on, till _Ratherford came up with the main body of the army. This was the plan of attack, with the clear understanding that each was to watch the other’s motions, and act in con- cert. The arrangement being thus made |and understood, the attack was made about sun-rise, while the tories were en.- | aged in preparing their breakfast. And so complete was the surprise that they ‘found themselves falling by the balls of their enemies almost as soon as they dis. / covered them. | The first division, after firing, retreated, | opening to the right and left trom the cen- tre, for the second to advance, fire, and retreatin the same way. The enemy, notwithstanding their surprise, attempted to form a line, but a Whig of more cour- age than prudence rode up, seized their colors and rode off with them unhurt | amidst a shower of balls. Having now no rallying point, their consternation in- creased ; and the quick succession of de- structive fires, kept up by the assailants, rendered their confusion complete. The Whigs not only stood their ground, but advanced, after a few rounds, upon the after a short rest, went to meet their | friends, and a camp was formed two or | three miles East of Anderson’s Bridge, on Haunting Creek, known ever Since by the name of Liberty Hill; it was five or six | miles from Bryant's camp.

The meeting was organized by calling Judge tothe Chair, and appointing Maj. D. G. McRae Secretary. A committee, consist- ing of Messrs. George McNeill, T. N. Came- ron, J. G. Shepherd, T. S. Lutterlob, and J. H. Hall, was appointed to ascertain the amount of stock represented, and to report a system of By-lays to govern the Corporation, under the “charter. ‘These duties were perform- ed, the first above stated, and the second defining the duties of the Presideot and rs, and Treasurer. ‘The salary of the President was fixed at only $500, and neces- sary travelling expenses,—a general desire be. ing felt mot to jeopard the success of the en- lerprise of paying. high salaries. The salary | of the treasurer was Icfi discretionary with the Board of Directors, in whom that appointment is vested. Another committee was appointed, consisting of Judge Strange, Hon. J. C. Dobbin, Ww. Winslow, J. G. Shepherd, and Arch’d A. 4 be Smith, Esq., to report upon a legal question raised before the meeting was so (ull, whether the State was not in fact, already a stockhold- er, by virtue of the charter, though the sub- scription authorized by it had not actually been made. Atthat moment, ifthe State could have been regarded as a stockholder to the amount | of $40,000, a majority (about $45,000) the stock would not have been present. The committee negatived the idea that the State was a Stockholder, until the subscription shall have been made—though at the time the re- port was made the question was of no practi- cal importance, as a majority of all the stock, even if the State were included, was repre- sented. This matter having been disposed of, Mr. George McNeill moved that the location of the route be committed to the discretion of the President and Directors, after the making of the requisite surveys, and the collection of full information. ‘To which Mr. McRae moved an amendment, that the meeting at once proceed to fit upon the ronte, and designating the Northern route, via Little River Factory, Wat. | son’s Bridge, Asheborough, Franklinsville, and Lexington. ‘This motion led to a long and in. teresting discussion between the mover, and Hon. J.C. Dobbin, E. J. Hale, Judge Strange, E. L. Winslow, G. Makepeace of Randolph, and Jas. Banks. At sun down, without taking a question, the meeting adjourned till 10 o’clock on Thursday morning. The amendment was op- posed by Messrs. Strange, Banks, and Hale, on the ground, not of opposition to the route indicated, but of want of that full information, to be obtained by surveys, &c., necessary to come to a clear understanding of the advanta- geg and disadvantages of the various routes pro- On Thursday and Friday the meeting con- tinued with unabated interest, discussing and voting on the various propositions incident to the commencement of a new and important en- terprize. It would be uninteresting to many of our readers abroad, and unnecessary to those at home, to give a detail of all those discus- sions, propositions, and decisions. The de- | bates were marked by great animation and earnestness, and occasionally by great ability. They Were participated in by the Honorable Chairman, Hon. Jas. C. Dobbin, Dr. T. N. Cameron, Messrs. D. G. Mac Rae, J. G. Shep. herd, James Banks, E. L. Winslow, George McNeill, John H. Hall, W. Winslow, J. G. Cook, J. Martine, A. A. T. Smith, T. Waddill, E.’ J. Hale, and verhaps others, of this place, and by Col. John Morrison of Moore, and Mr. Makepeace of Rondolph. The most important decision made was the adoption of the following Preamble and Reso- lutions, (presented by Maj. Mac Rae,) by an | almost unanimous vote :— The stockholders, now assembled, deeply regret thatthe State is not represented in the | present meeting, and would now gladly adjourn | to some future day without any action, to have throw a branch in that direction. these resolutions was ariived at afier the drawal of the origina and the amendment rejection, by a very close vote, to adjourn an opportunity for the State to be represented.

The remedy proposed is a capital one, and we hope it wll be tried. We have on our mail books scores of what are technically called in the offices “ single packets,” that is where only one paper goes to a post-office. Those “ packets” have the name of the subscriber, with that of the post-office, written upon the wrapper, and not on the pa- per. The wrappers are directed first, to save time and the papers put into them afterwards. fice the names are written on the papers.— Whenever, therefore, a subscriber gets a paper with his name written not on the paper but on the wrapper, his is a single packet. What we want to be at is this: We would like to bave all our single packets doubled, trebled, quad- rupled, or more, if it might be. It is trouble- some to send out these single packets, very troublesome in proportion to the gains. We can fix up two or three papers for the mail nearly as soon as we can one. Besides, we always realize a feeling of anxiety in regard to these little packets in sending one paper away by itself so far. We feel for them in their lonely and uncertain journey. As to the lar- ger packets the very bulk will command some FCs: tab siden Rice “ Pothier AN a the Gy onal ae ee aad doubt v w in: e €s $3 i jains); the more-so.1 ; t e What we. or lost eddie £" 4 ante I fancy, however, that bere, far roads, and away ‘ness; I can be more.

Murphy having been sold out at Auction, a new firm has been formed with a capital of $30,000, all of which has been invested in the Northern Markets for new goods ; and the said firm are now receiving and opening at the large brick store formerly occupied by J. & W. Murphy, direct from Philadelphia and New York, an entirely new stock of ' Remus J. West and wife, Alice, Samuel Farabee, Ad- | this Court, to be held for the County of Davidson, on ESTABLISHMENT, %! A FRESH GOODS: Consisting of French, English, German, Scotch, and American Dry Goods ; Hardware, Cutlery, Queensware, HATS, BONNETS, BOOTS, SHOES, BOOKS, COMBs, Plated and Saddlery Hardware, Carriage Trimmings, Carpenters’ Tools, And all kinds of GROCERIES and all other kind of GOODS. We wish to be understood, (not blowing and bragging) that we speak the truth when we say that we are open- ; ing at this time THE LARGEST STOCK OF NEW GOODS that has ever been opened in this place ; and as for beauty and style the ladies say we have the prettiest and cheapest they have yet seen. And why should they not say so, when our goods are all entirely new and all bought for cash, and such a large quantity of them.” We deem it entirely unnecessary to enumerate all the articles composing our stock, as it has become too fashionable for persons to advertise three or four times as much as they actually have. But suffice it to say, that we have a well assorted stock of all kinds of Goods of every description ; and that they are all paid for, and paid for with our own money, With all these advan- tages we think we can safely say that we will sell them a little lower than any of our neighbors, and we would merely say to one and all to give us a call, hear prices, examine for yourselves and be your own judges.

I will now beifly give some account of the practical operation of my theory. My first ap- plication of lime to any extent, was (wo hun- dred bushels, mostly air-slacked, hauled six | \ | | up for a corn crop, and harrowed in. Phis | portion of the field particularly, was so thorough- | ly exhausted by previous had management, that | the yield of corn was only some five or six | bushels to the acre; nor was the crop sensi- | hly increased by the lime. As the main ob- ject in cultivation was to set the field in grass, the corn was fullowed by a crop of small grain anda liberal supply of clover and timothy seed and plaster; the latter producing no visible ef. fect whatever, and nearly all the grass seed | perished, leaving the surface as hare as before. But before the field again came in course for | cultivation, the good effect of the lime was so evident by the growth of white clover—a new variety in that vicinity ; that I was encouraged to lime the whole field, containing about twelve | acres, and also including this four acres, pul | on as before, just afier breaking up for corn.— | | } | |The crop on this portion was increased fully five to six fuld over that adjoining and but re- cently limed ; thus liberally paying all expen. ses, and has continued ever since to produce profitable crops. Plaster now acts on it with marked effect. The first application was made some eighteen to nineteen years since; and to test the durability of lime, these four acres | have been kept for experiment, and without the | addition of other manure, except a portion in- About two acres were sown in broad-rast corn, with two hundred pounds Peruvian guano; then follow. ed wheat on the four acres, aud with two hun. dred pounds guano to the acre, leaving two lands without guano. The corn was materially benefitted by the | guano; but the wheat was not benefitted by g& ; y the previous application of it, thongh it was nearly or quite doubled over the two lands left without any guano; the wheat was harvested two years since, and no one could now point out by the growth of the clover, uniformly good on the whole and equally limed, which portion The conclusion is, that the “renovating” effects of lime are | thus far ten times as durable as guanu; how much longer remains to be seen.

Its application, like lime, is | LIME. This, nest to the proper draining (when ne. | cessary—tor even lime will not enable us to, dispense with it) and deep tillage, I consider | the most certain and permanent agent in “ ren. | ovating worn-out lands,” of any other substance | with which [ am acquainted, whether mineral, | animal, or vegetable, and when it canbe ob. | tained at a reasonable cost, even with some | miles hauling in addition, it is generally to be | preferred, if only one kind of * bought manure” | is to be used. [t may, however, be used free. | Jy in conjanction with all other manures, and with decided advantage, if done with judgment. sAfver many years’ experience in the use of lime, I would advise, in all cases where it can be accomplished, to spread it on the surface from-one to three or four vears, before the land is broken up. ‘The effect of a single winter’s frosts and rains, will more effectually dissolve | and bring it into action, and benefit the suc. | ceeding crop, also the Iand itself, than is at. | tained in-a lunger period by ploughing it in as | soon ag applied. Ia this way, also, a much | larger quantity may be safely applied to the same lands ata single dressing. As there is n@ loss to lime from atmospheric influence, it should be kept near the surface ; andthe proper quantity to use to the best advantage, can on. ly be determined by the price and the state the Jand. may be iu at the time. With a good sod | of grass roots to receive it, one hundred or even one hundred and fifiy bushels to the acre, will do no harm; but on stiff clays, with little soil or. mould on the surface, fifty bushels would be a very liberal application as a first dressing, if | put on.immediately afier ploughing. It would be better to apply a less quantity at first, and renew it as seon as increased growth of vege. tation could be obtained. When lime is applied in very large quantities, and immediately incorporated with a poor soil, having little or no vegetable matter in it, the ig to combine with the silicious particles, | abounding more or less in all clay soils, and | fetm hard compact masses, that are not sepa. rated by years of afier tillage.

Twen. ty+five er thirty bushels as a first application, | particularly if aided hy even a light dressing of vegetable manure, will make a much quicker return for the outlay. | As tothe modus operandi of lime much has_ beeh written, and varions if not conflicting the. | ories put forth: nor do all agree as to the most | judicious. mode of application. | I eGmeider it altogether unnecessary here to. attempt any explanation of the chemical chang. | cpeetines in the soil by its use, or to give my own opinion on the sulject, thongh formed af. | tertarefal observation and from years’ experi. | epee.

This probably is a Chris- tian girl, and her master is a hideous negro, and is bargaining for this fair creature with a rich old Turk, who is quietly regarding her while puffing away the smoke from his chi. | boque. Here we see the reverse of the pic. raised against the deep damnation of such an act. The sympathetic English, so anxious to abolish African slavery—the free soil Ameri- can, so mad for the freedom of the blacks— have not a word to say, a hand to lifi, ora voice to implore, for white Christian female slavery among the Mahomedans.

PRIZE ESSAY ON THE RENOVATION OF WORN OUT LAND. BY EDWARD STABLER, of Sandy Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland. (CONTINUED. ) us publisher of the American Farmer having offered | $100 for the three best Essays on the above subject, | viz; $50 for the first, $30 for the second, and $20 for the third; the Committee appointed for the pur- | se, consisting of Dr. J. W. Thompson, of Delaware, and Judge Chambers, Messrs. C. B. Calvert, A. Bow- | ie Davis, and N. B. Worthington, of Maryland, unani- : mously awarded the following the first prize.. Some nine or ten years since, I determined to reclaim an adjoining field, at whatever cost. ! [ was told long previous by one of my neigh. | bers, who sold his farm and removed to the | West in order to settle on better land, that the attempt would be futile ; or, if it was made producti¥e, it would cost a great deal more than the {and was worth. ‘The prospect was forbid. ding; for the larger portion was as much re. duced as could be, by shallow tillage, no ma. pure, no grass-seed sown, and constant wash. ing, ever to gullies, and producing little else than running briars. It was broken up in the | fall and winter, to a much greater depth than it was ever ploughed before; sixty bushels of quick jime to the acre, were applied in the spring, the ground well harrowed and planted jn corn; such portions as required it, having been well under drained—some two to three acres—and which were about the amount that produced anything of a crop, or that more than paid the expense of ploughing. A crop of oats and grass seed followed ; as it was not consid- ered worth the trouble and expense to put ina crop of wheat, on two-thirds of the field. Af. ter six or seven years, the same field again coming in course, exactly the same plan was pursued, as to ploughing and lime; but rather increasing the depth than otherwise. The crop of corn, though injured by the bud. worm was good—enabling me to do, what I bad rarely, or never done before, sell from one- quarterto one-third ofthe crop. Oats followed, on about two thirds of the field, with some five or six bushels of bones to the acre, and wheat on the balance, with guano: both heavy crops, and lodging over the greater part of the field. Then followed a wheat crop on the whole, ma. ured as much as possible from the barn yard ; and on the balance, a light dressing of guano of some eighty to one hundred pounds to the acre. The average yield of the field was over thir- ty-three bushels to the acre. These results are attained with certainty ; for every field and lot are accurately surveyed, and the conten's noted on the plat of the farm, and the product of this field was kept separate, threshed, and measured by itseli The great- er portion suffered from the drought early last year; and the harvesting was badly done, ow. ing to the fallen and tangled state of the grain g; but Ihave no doubt several contiguous acres might from a storm, about the time of ripenin have been selected on the lowest ground (the portion under drained) on which the yield was over forty bushels to the acre.* This season, the same field yielded the heaviest crop of grass Tever harvested; and even on what was orig- inally the poorest part, there is nowa luxuriant crop ef second growth clover, and intended for seed, that is lodging over the whole extent.— We will estimate the profit and loss by figures : To 76 bushels of lime, cost at the kiln, 16 cents, To seven years’ interest, (though it paid in pasture in less timne,) To 60 bushels of jiine, cost at the kiln, 124 cents, To three years’ interest, To6 bushels ground bones, at 50 cents, To 100 pounds guano, (African, ) 89 ConrTRa. By 33 bushels of wheat, average price sold at $1 31, $43 Estimate increase of corn crop, at least 6 barrels, at $2, (and entirely owing to the lime,) Estimate increase of oat crop, 20 bushels, at 40 cents, Estimate increase of hay crop, 1 ton, Estimate value of clover seed, (for there would have heen bone without the lime,) 14 bushel, at $4, 12 8 10 Making, in round numbers, $50 per acre in favor of “ renovating ;”’ nor is the estimate a forced one. ‘The actual increase of the crops is greater than the amounts assumed; and if afair average was made of the wheat, in the joint crop of oats and whéat, the aggregate re. tut would be increased some $5 to $6 per acre, Thefe ‘should, perhaps, in the view of some, & charge for draining, and for hauling and mg the lime; also for the manure, for crop of wheat; and for the expense of harvesting the increased crops. The two former are amply paid for in the in- teased pasture, and the manure was no more the actnal yield of the land itself, after the We of lime, &c., which are charged in the ac- ‘ouat, and at more than the cost; and it is be- ved the increased product in straw and fod. tfully repays the expense of harvesting—to MY nothing of the present state of the land, as “@pared to what it was originally, It is now PADicaLLy and PERMANENTLY, improved. hen lime has been freely used, plaster will erally, if not always, act promptly and efii- aly; and thus, in this very small expense, Tally aid in perpetuating the improvement. ‘Ous to its application in this case, plaster liberally used, but with no visible effect | | | | rank 5 yo od phe on 4.

On the wheat, succeeding the oats, my practice is, to apply a light dressing of guano —say 80 to 100 pounds to the acre, to mature and perfect the grain; and only on such por. tions of the field as the manure from the barn. yard will not extend to. By the time the clo. ver requires the aid of the bone, it will have beeome sufficiently disintegrated and incorpor- ated with the soil, to give the clovera vigorous start; and its effect on the grass crops is gen- erally more durable than the vegetable ma. nures. The supply of ground bones isa limited one ; but when to be had at a reasonable price, (usu- ally selling at 40 to 50 cents the bushel,) it may be used to advantage on all crops and on all soils; but with decidedly Jess advantage, after passing through the alembick of the glue manufacturer, as I have proved, at least to my satisfaction; thus depriving it of much of its fertilizing property. It is usually harrowed in with the seed, as it loses less by exposure to the atmosphere than most kinds of present ma. | nures. Guano.—This is one of the most active of ' all manures; and ifthe price would justify the application in sufficient quantities, it might aid | very materially in ‘renovating worn-out lands.” | But considering the evanescent nature of its | most active principle, ammonia, and the present high market price, viz: Peruvian, at $60 to | $70, and the more inferior kinds at $45 to $55, for the ton of 2,000 pounds, it is much doubted | whether the ultimate advantage, calculated on | If the Peruvian | could be obtained at about half this price— | by many, will be realized. and it is believed such would be the case with a fair competition in the Peruvian market— | the case might be different. The writer has made liberal use of guano, and generally to profit, as to the immediate re- turn; but in no case has much benefit been derived beyond the first crop; and rarely was any material effect perceived after the second year. This opinion, so different from that enter- tained by some others, is not lightly formed, nor without several years’ careful observation ; and also testing the matter by numerous ex- periments, and ona scale sufficiently extended, to prove the truth, or fallacy, of the doctrine held by some, that it is only a stimulant. ference to one experiment may suffice, as they all tend to the same result, and nearly to the same degree. In a field of some ten acres, one acre was selected near the middle, and extended through the field, so as tu embrace any difference of soil, should there be any. On this acre two hundred pounds of Peruvian guano, at a cost of about $5, were sown with the wheat. Ad- Joining the guano on one side was manure from the barn yard, at the rate of twenty-five cart. loads tothe acre; and on the opposite side | like intelligence brought by t _land mail is regarded in Eng (separated by an open drain the whole dis- tance) ground bones were applied on the bal- ance of the field, at a cost of $6 to the acre; | the field equally limed two years preceding.— | There was no material difference in the time | or manner of seeding, except that the manure was lightly cross-ploughed in, and the guano and bones harrowed in with the wheat. The yield on the guanoed acre was thirty. five vushels; the acre with bone, as near as could be estimated by dozens, compared with the guano was about twenty seven bushels, and the manured, about twenty-four bushels. The | season was unusualy dry; and the manured porticn suffered more from this cause than ei- ther of the others; the land considerably more elevated, and a south exposure. The field has since been mowed three times : the crop of grass was evidently in favor of the boned part; the second and third were fully two to one over the guano, and also yielding much heavier crops of clover seed. Ona part of the land, eighteen bushels to the acre of the !

HOT SPRINGS OF ARKANSAS, _. The Hot Springs of Arkansas are just- ly ranked among the wonders of cre@ition. They are worth a travel of many hundred miles merely to look at. They are loeat- ed in Hot Spring county, fifty miles west of Little Rock, on a creek that empties into the Washita River, six miles distant, in latitude 34} deg. The creek, which. rises in the mountains, some four miles above, winds its way between two hills, running north and south, with a valley between, which is in some places fifty, and: in others a hundred yards wide. Oa-the side of one of the hills which is, very pres. cipitous, and rises to the height of: four: | hundred feet—the springs break ont. im: | various positions, from the margin of the: creek to the summit of the bill.

There are numerons: cold water springs within a few yards of. the hot ones, The heat of the water is sufficient to scald a hog, to boil eggs, or. wash clotbes, without the aid of fire. : The creek is so much heated by the: springs that borses and cattle will gt drink of it a mile below. a It is thought these springs are destined ‘to altract a great deal of attention for: their valuable healing properties; as well 'as for their curiosity.

The handwriting of Shuster was then ven by two witnesses, and two letters are published which said Shoster wrote to President Polk. In these letters, dated New York, Dec. 15, 1848, Shaster tells the President that he can deliver up the jewels, although in a broken and defaced condition ; that he will deliver them up, ided the President will take the gov- ernment printing away from a newspaper in New York, called the * National Police Gazette,” which he said was published by a base villain, (of course, because the Gazette had exposed Shuster’s villanies.) He abused the Gazette for everything he could think of, in his letter to the Presi- dent, and called the attention of the Pre- pn’ weg two other papers in New York, * Ned Buntline’s Own,” and “ The fi nection with said Road, or confer Inn 5 benefits on the other Roads and int a of the State.

On the 71h instant Lord Palmerston received notice of the blockade af Palermo by the Ne. apolitan Government. On the 31st of March the blockade of Venice by the Austrians was formally aunounced.

Central Germany is in a state of great con- fusion. The King of Prussia has refused the imperial crown voted to him by a small major- ity of the Frankfort Assembly. A renewal of distractions has arisen in Ita. ly; the people have gained a temporary fri- umph, and Genoa and Tuscany are preparing to resist further encroachments on the part of Austria. Rome, though quiet, is unsettled. The Pope still continues at Gaeta. The King of Naples is preparing for an im. mediate attack on Sicily, and has only been hith- erto restrained by an apprehended uprising of the Catalonians. France is tranquil, but all parties are pre- paring for the great electoral struggle. whether the first husband é or quietly abandon the premises, and seek his ortune anew. As yet, so far as our infurma- tion goes, he has espressed no intimation of his intention, which we have no doubt worries the curiosity of the gentle sex in that neighborhood very much. We suspect he is one of your in- different, calculating individuals, who is much harder to see through than a mill-stone with a hole in it. It is said that the new husband took advice of a lawyer befure he married the lady. He must have been “a learned judge ” who advis- ed such a match! “A second Daniel !” Another singular part of the business is, that it seems to he very questionable among the people of the neighborhood, which husband the lady loves best, even now. And some have suggested that if there should be any question as to who is entitled to her, that it should be left to her to decide. P.S. Since the above was written, we learn that the former husband has taken possession of his wife, aud they are now living together. Fay. Carolinian. GRNEW GOODS people, if giveth thrice the ability to pay 7—Would we wot all be willing for the State to increase the debt in proportion as she increases our ability to pay—to carry out some work that will aid us to rise fromthe lethargy we are in? Who would not be proud to see North Caroli- ha rank foremost amongst her neighbors in commerce and trade, even if she were five or ten millions of dollars in debt? And yet she can never expect to gain any eminence in the commercial world, in her present situation— as well might you expect a sandy waste to bloom like a garden. We could speculate on this subject at any length, but we forbear.— We will, at some subsequent time, endeavor more particularly to point out the practical bear- ings of this plan, upon the varied interests of the State, and to show what probability there may be of sustaining the work after it shall have been completed. Let every North Caroli- nian take these things into serious consideration and our word for it, they will soon see that we must awake from the lethargy and stupor which have bound us down to the old beaten track of eur ancestors, and learn “to go to mill” by some other path. DALETH. iron petard down to an iron pen, the endless uses to which it is or may be applied, would astonish a citizen of the Augusta age—and even Byron would weep overthe senseless jargon of his eloquent apostrophe tothe ‘ grey goose quill,’ could he arise from the dead, and see what an in- animate instrument has usurped its place. May it not be owing to this that there is so little of the true fire of eloquence and poetry at present, and at the same time more exactness, artisti- cal skill and critical acumen? Potent iron has chained down the minds of men, as he bas fire and air, and even the lightnings of heaven. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. The public mind in a large portion of our State has, within a few months past, been very much engaged with the consideration of some schemes of internal improvement, which bid fair, should they be attempted, to have an im- ortant bearing upon the interests and wealth of the State. This interest has been excited more particularly by the passage, by the Leg- islature, of a billto charter the Great Central Road.

His spelling is quite differ— | ent from Webster or any of the great lexicographers ; and his diction is racy and bold. It appears that the President made a feint, and pretended to take said adver- tising away from the said paper; but Mr. Shuster suspecting it was only a trick, wrote to Mr. Polk, that it did appear that the advertising was taken away, but as he had enquired at every printing office te see who had got it, and could not as- certain, he suspected it was only a trick, and must be convinced to the contrary before he performed his promise. (Couldn't fool him in that way,) This last letter was.dated in February, 1849. Henry B. Jones, the person in whose house the jewels were found, was put up- an his oath. According to whose testi- mony, Shuster and another man inade 4 eatspaw of him. Shuster called on Jones and told him a friend wanted to borrow $600, and would give gold ingots as se- eurity, Jones hesitated a good deal. and ested several other ways in which he might obtain the money, but finally con- cluded to jet Shoster and his friend have the money. On delivering the money, the thieves gave him the ingots, and also a little package wrapped up, which he was not, f@open.

The Paris Presse states that neither the French nor the British Government will take any part in the negotiations about to be opened at Verona for the conclusion of peace between Austria and the Piedmontese. The Constitutionne] states, on the authority of a letter from Perpignan, that a sanguinary battle had taken place at Catalonia between the Chief Pons Bandelali and Cabrera, who, have been wounded in the action, took refuge in a tavern, where he was put to death. A special arrival on. Thursday evening with | 250 Londoners, forming the first portion of the English expected on a visit to the national guards, created great interest in Paris. ‘They were received with honor by the authorities. AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals contradict the rumors of Gen. Bem’s defeat by the Russians, and the flight of bis troops into Walachia. It appears, on the contrary, that the Austrian General Puckner, surrounded by the hostile populatiog, has thought proper to resign his command anid place himself under the protection of the Rus. sians in Wallachia. ‘Three other Austrian generals accompanied him, and his troops were left under the care of Gen.

He immediately sought Shuster, and upbraided him ; but Shuster carsed him for opening the package, told him he had got into a scrape, and if he did not keep his mouth shut, he (Shuster) would make him (Jones) suffer. So Jones, fool-like, agreed to “shut up,” and keep dark “until he could get his money.” In the mean time, however, Shuster éc Co. got $400 more out of him ! }t appears, however, that Jones, after burying the jewels in his cellar, got scar- ed at knowing the Police were on the seent, and gave up the jewels. The evidence consisted in this: the prvvine by Jones, that Jacob Shuster and is friend gave him (Jones) the jewels, and the proving by two other witnesses, that the two letters sent to President Polk were in the handwriting. of Shuster.— Shuster offered no defence other than an supe to disprove his authorship of the —Fuy.

The Board have also determined to insure the lives of slaves, and this being almost half the wealth of ti- people of this State, a large business is reasonably an cipated.

That it can be shown to be of direct practical bearing upon every citizen of the State, and that it will be highly beneficial in its results, we presume will scarcely be denied by any candid man, who has given the subject serious consideration. We are aware that self-interest is a leading motive to action in communities as well as in- dividuals ; and any particular section will not be easily convinced that there will be any prac- tical utility in a scheme which does not imme- diately and visibly affect them advantageously ; | and they are too apt to identify their notions of advantage to the State with advantage to an isolated community. We think that it can be conclusively shown that the benefits of the pro. posed plan will be extended to every portion of the State, and toevery citizen in it, and we pro- pose to enter into a short description of its will be to advance the interests of every sec- tion of the State.

Of all the wild spots in the wilds of North Carolina, this is perhaps the wild- est, and the most beautiful; and if you have any wish to see a place where na- ture seems dressed in virgin robes, uapro- tected by the touch of man, here is that place. A clear and beautiful river, after gathering its waters in the bosom of the Grandfather, flows gently for several miles through an upper valley to this spot ; where in the space of a few hundred yards, it is precipitated in bounds of 10 to 30 feet, into another valley and anoth- er climate several hundred feet below the first; dashing and foaming, over and un- der, the huge massy rocks that are piled along the channel. Place the dullest mortal under these incely pines, and joy-bound cliffs, and pr gaze on the rich forests and meadows; far —very far, below him, softened and beau- tified by the distance ; and then upon the clearstream above him; the calm smoothe current now broken into atoms, and he will be irresistably led into a train of re- flections, which will purify his heart ; and ‘he will feel that he is a wiser, and a bet- terman. In the language of St. Paul, he will think of whatsoever things are hon- ored, and just, and pure, and lovely ! Yes, Gentlemen, if there be a care on your heart, I welcome you here ; and pro- mise, that before you are aware, your sor- row will be forgotten. If you have families bring them with you. Possibly they may love you more, and the pleasures that will sparkle in their eyes, will bring back the hours of your own childhood, with a thrill that will do more for your health than the shock of electricity ; and if it does not make you younger, it may prolong your life, and quicken your energies.

We have an amount of water power and & climate, unsurpassed by any country.— And although we are willing to see out rivers made navigable as far as practic# ble, for the benefit of others; give us& fine road between the two rivers, from Salie bury to the Tennessee line, and we are content for our part ; and hope that other portions of the State will be content with the system which the Legislature seems to have chalked out; and that none will fly off at a tangent, through mistaken policy, or selfish motives. It is important to every State that ils commerce be concentrated at suitable points, and toa single point, if practicable (where the extent of country is not larg er than our State.) in order that it may command its own capital and resoureeh and exercise an independent and who some influence at last, in its dealings ¥! other States.

The Sons of Temperance of Salisbury Division, on the occasion of the meeting of the Grand Division at this place on Thursday evening last, got up quite a dis- play: A procession was formed, just af- ter dark, in front of ‘the Division room— those highest in grade taking the right, and so on down, coco dil grade, the private members of our Division forming the left of the line. Numerous splendid jights of various colours—* the red, the white, the blae”—had been prepared for the occasion by a committee previously appointed for the purpose. These were handsomely disposed along the line, by Mr. E. Myers, acting Marshall, who also exhibited skill and ability by the prompt- ness with which he performed the duties ie er founds ‘of cartridges, were dismissed.— And now, like water. seéking'a ‘place of rest, so each man sought. his home ; so that an hour had searcely elapsed until our streets were almost as quiet as at ordina- ry times.

May 3, 1849. 3152 The people, and especially, the tax payers, have a right to expect this to be done; and I doubt not, that the Board of Internal Improvements will not disappoint | | these reasonable expectations. In addition to all this, do the citizens of Fayetteville look for produce to pass over their circuitous road rather than seek a more convenient outlet? I would suggest to that people a competition worthy of their energies and enterprise. A Rail Road will soon be completed to Charlotte, making a continuous line to Charleston. This road will swallow up all the products between the Yadkin and Catawba, if not diverted. The same road will furnish carriage for merchandise for the same section of coun- try, if no greater facilities are offered. A plank road, Properly constructed, directly from Fayetteville to Sal- isbury, would compete successfully with the road to Charleston for the carrying business of the above named section of country. By that road, we could reach the sea-port cheaper, and transport our merchandise upon better terms. Is it for a moment expected that the winding road by Franklinville, &c., can ever offer such & successful competition to the Southern road ?— If so, it ia a vain expectation. Our Dutch wagoner, is fully competent to the task, of counting the notch- es on the mile posts between Salisbury and F; ayetteville, and when he finds he will have to pass by 146 of these on the new road,—the improved road,—instead of 115 as heretofore by the old fashioned road, he will turn his team and drive 40 miles to Charlotte. Such a man can never understand what kind of improvement it is, that makes a road nearly a fourth Jonger than it was before. Of such men, our community is composed, and the peo- FOR 1849. M.

Those resolutions propose GENERAL MUSTER. We had a gay day in this place, on Fri- day last, in the way of a military parade. notwithstanding the weather was rather unfavorable for such an occasion. A hea- vy rain fellon the night previous. The streets were quite wet in the morning, and the dark, watery clouds were still banging all around and seemed on the Point of pouring a deluge of rain every minute. But the threatening was not ex- ecuted, and so they only served to keep off | the general rays of the sun, and only @ha- hat would otherwise have been, a| ded, w flashing scene. The members of the various militia and Volunteer companies commenced drop- | ping into town at an early hour; and the drams and fifes, those soul-rousing instru- | Ments, stationed at different points, ac- cording to the designation of each Cap- tain, filling the air with their martial mu- | sic, soon put in motion the mixed mass of buman beings, whether male or female, White or black, young or old—many to the duties of the day, but many more to see and hear. About nine o’clock, our Regimental Of- ficers, Col. J. M. Brown, Lt. Col. A. M. Goodman, Maj. John Verble. Adjutant L. cini, Quartermaster John Rice, and Maj. Shuman, dashed upon fhe street in their gay and beautiful suits, mounted on it noble chargers, and with unusual @ase and grace marshalled the troops into line.

The State takes a larger proportion of the stock of the plank road,—the work asked for by that Town—than in any other improvement. She has a right to expect, that her bounty will be so used, as not to conflict with her other important interests. But how are the Fayetteville people disposed to re- ward this liberality of the State 1—by sapping her oth- er interests, and drawing the Vitality from other cher- ished enterprises. This is in bad faith to the State, and contrary to the purpose and design of the Legislature in granting the charter and appropriation to the plank road from Fay- etteville to Salisbury. A charter was granted for one purpose and it is now sought to be used for another— This course of conduct will diagust the public with such enterprises, and injure the cause of Internal Improve- ment.

It is well known to such persons, that the | only practicable route for such a road from Asheboro’, | to Salisbury, is by way of Lexington. This being the case, the respective distances between the noted points on the road, will be very nearly as fol- lows: | From Fayetteville to Wataon’s Bridge, Wateon’s Bridge to Franklinville, Franklinville to Asheborough, | } Asheborough to Fair Grove, Fair Grove to Lexington, Lexington to Salisbury, Entire distance It is true, the above route has not been surveyed, and the distances may vary a little from this statement, but they will not probably be found matenially shorter. | The distance between Salisbury and Fayetteville, as | travelled by every man who understands his own inter- "ests, is 115 miles. The route indicated, will therefore, be 25 miles long- | er than the direct, and in all respects, the most practi- | cable one. The cost of the road being estimated at $2000 per mile, will give a cost of $50,000 to the se- _ lected route, over and above the cost of the direct one, \ _ in consequence of this increased length of the road.— | This is only $30,000 less than the individual subscrip- | tion, and within itself, a sum by no means smal], when compared with the whole amount of capital stock, and the limited means of raising money for the contempla- , ted work. | But this is by no means the worst feature of this pro- posed route. | | But look at the other end of this route, and behold ‘a still more melancholy spectacle j—the Plank Road and | Central Rail Road, running with each other for seven- | teen miles from Lexington to Salisbury. I have before | said, that if this road runs to Asheborongh, it must go , to Lexington, by way of avoiding the Caraway Moun- ) tains, and it is useless to argue this point to men who | know the country. Again, we see, two improvements, | in both of whieh the State is a er end of the road, and we have.62 miles of the Plank Road from Fayetteville to Salisbury,—more than haif of the direet distance, parallel with other important State | Works. And this unfortunate result is brought about by | going 25 miles out of the way, and making an increac- | ed cost of $50,000, or just one fourth of the entire | capital stock of the Company. toe fee tins of Ragetianite, sen dpe | ed to enter into competition with Deep River and | Central Road Works.

It is an unlamented death, ‘I’m glad he is gone, is the common saying, as the bell announces the solemn event. Even his family look for comfort, now he is no more. Let it be soberly contemplated— 1. By the moderate drinker—it may be his. 2. By the vender—He has filled the bottle, and done the deed. 3. By the magistrate-—he signed the license. 4. By the heedless parent. It may yet be the death of his own son. 5. If not too late, by the drunkard himself. let him escape as for his life. Habits hurries him onward. Appetite hurries him onward. Sickness hurries him onward. The vender hurries him onward. The devil hurries him onward. ‘But Oh his end!! ‘Stop, poor drunkard, stop and think, Before it be too laie !’ STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, Supreme Court at Morganton. And O Bartholomew F.

I have also given it a fair trial ; adoption; very poor land, without some extra. | neous aid, will not produce a green crop worth It is questionable, whether the same amount of time and labor (supposing the | the turning in. pure of any kind) could not be better employed | on such land, in adding to his stock of manure, by composts, prepared from decaying vegeta- | ble matter, alluvial soil, &c., abounding more or less on all farms. tility produce sufficient clover for pasture, the use of plaster either without, or certainly with | the aid of lime, will, with good management, make it yield a luxuriant crop. But it should be borne in mind, that to improve in this way | littke mowing, and Jess pasturing, must be per- mitted. The land is not only benefitted by what is ‘urned in, but is also materially aided inthe process of renovation, by what is left. ow, and on the surface; to shield and protect | the soil from a parching sun, prevent throwing out the clover roots by the winter frosts, and washing away of the soil, by heavy dashing | rains. This brings to mind another matter, though | perhaps, not strictly “in the bargain,” but which is of much more importance than many xem to be aware of, and as yet only incident. | aly alluded to. It is the preservation ot the | land after it is renovated, from washing away | the soil, and into gullies, and * galled pla- tes,’ as they are called; this is best done by regular water furrows made with the barshear | If the land possesses fer- | plough, and throwing the earth on the lower | side. will attempt a brief description of my plan of operations; but without a diagram, some may possibly be at a loss. | The points to commence at are determined by theeye; accheap spirit level, costing but a trifle, will soon give the termination with pre- cision, and the proper inclination. The ope- Mior takes a station some 80 to 100 yards dis- tant from the designated point; the assistant, having the staff, with a moveable target, and tlso a bundle of stakes, some two or three feet long, places one in the ground, and by its side nises the staff and moves the target up or down lo range with the sight from the level ; the tar- gt is then raised six inches and confined by a krew; the assistant walks seventeen stepy tad raises his staff; the operator, by merely Jrning his level, and not otherwise varying its sition, soon determined the point of the se- tond stake, by the assistant moving the staff, backwards or forwards, keeping his distance from the first stake, until the target again rang. ts with the level ; then set another stake and rising the target six inches at each station, throughout the field. One position far the lev. tl, if selected with judgement, will serve for tight or ten sights; they should be taken in tdrance, and on, or near, the supposed line of the furrow. With a little practice, the level. lag is done very expeditiously, and by any per- ‘a of ordinary capacity. When ready for the Plough, the leveler walks before it—the plough- man gaided by his steps—picks up the stakes 88 they are reached, and if necessary by much | lwequality in the land, varies the line a little tween the stake, still more to preserve the level, This gives a uniform escape for all surplus Waler, with a regular fall of about one foot in the hundred.

Nothing short of the concurrent testi- mony of a neighborhood will establish ‘ as the best; yet in another, a different: equally strong advocates ; for in some s of the country “the three-field shift” is preferred, in another five, and the third will adopt the six or seven-field rotation. Different “ localities,” and other circumstances, may perhaps afford good grounds for this variety of opinion. But, as a general rule, it is believed, that where the latter mode was adopted, or nearly so, other circumstances being equal, the farming is het- ter done, is more profitable, and the lands more permanently, if not more rapidly, improv- ed. Close pasturing, and “ renovating worn- out lands,” may do in theory, but are not very likely to succeed in practice. The seven-field rotation certainly admits of a better opportuni- ty to benefit by the aid of the artificial grasses ; and whenever they can be successfully invoked the good is more than half accomplished. Before taking leave of my readers the majority of whom, perhaps, engaged in agricultural pur- suits, I would again briefly recur to the impor- moment to the tiller of the soil than isthe mar. iner’s compass to the tempest-tossed sailor ; for mainly to their agency, in some form or oth- er, must we be indebted for success in the ren- ovation of worn-out lands.

We also intend to suggest (what we consider to be more important.) some hints in regard to the travel it may be stately expected to command, as well as the possibili- ty of its being able to compete successfully with other roads inthis line. The subject is a fruitful one, and should possess an unabating interest toevery North Carolinan, however dif. fusely it may be discussed, or however feebly handled. Sincerity of purpose will at least, be accorded to us in our attempts to draw the minds of the citizens to the subject. It will be perceived that we have entirely omitted all mention of an important article pro- duced in abundance in our borders, and exten- sively imported to other countries. We did so because we supposed that rice would never be transported in any quantity over the road, as the point at which it is produced is far below the head of slack water navigation even at this time, and consequently it would have no other effect upon this scheme, than that reciprocal bearing which all branches of commerce and trade exercise toward each other. Nor have we spoken of the immense miner- al resources of the State, which equal those of any part of the continent, and will have no un- important share in raising this road to a work of public utility, and lasting advantage to the whole State. So much may be said in regard to it that we forbear for the present. DALETH.

THE BRITISH NAVIGATION LAWS. The reply of the United States Government to inquiries made by the British Charg d’Af- fairs respecting the proposed relaxation of the British Navigation Laws, has been published and presented to the House of Commons of the British Parliament. ‘The reply states that a pacific proposal had been made by the Presi- dent of the United States to the British Govern. ment, through Mr. Bancroft, by a note address. ed to Lord Palmerston, dated 3d November, 1847, to conclude a treaty providing ~ that British ships could trade from any port in the world to any port in the United States, and be received, protected, and, in respect to charges and duties, treated like American ships, if re- ciprocally American ships could in Jike man. ner trade from any part of the world to any port under the dominion of Her Britannic Majesty.” Nat.

A Lesson taught by an Insect.—I was one day watching and admiring a quantity of wild flowers on a bank, when I saw a bee fly. ing from blossom to blossom, pausing a mo. ment upon each, diving down into the cup or into the bell, and flying around with its load ; and J said to myself, all flowers have their ho- ney, but he must search who would find it. This taught me a lesson. If we look only at the surface, we_lose the most precious of the gifis of Heaven. ‘The gold lies down deep in the nine; the Wiamond veils its well of light till & is cut; and the mind of mar, if it would discover the richness or the brightness of any thing throughout the aniverse, must dig deep and labor bard. ; James. fortunesathome; If there be any one consummation, “de- voutly to be wished,” in our policy, it is that our young men should remain at home, and not abandon their native State. From the early settlement of North Car- olina, the great drain upon her prosperi, ty has been the spirit of emigration, whi has so prejudicially effected all thé States of the South. Her sons hitherto. neg- lected (if we must say it) by an unparen- tal government, have wended their way by hundreds upon hundreds, from the land of their fathers—that land, too, to make it a paradise, wanting nothing buta mar- ket—to bury their bones in the land of strangers. We firmly believe that this emigration is caused by the laggard poli- cy of our people on the subject of Inter- nal Improvement ; for man is not. prone, by nature, to desert the home of his af- While other States are digest- ing and earrying out magnificent systems of Internal Improvement, blessing their citizens with bountifal means of happi- ness and wealth, we fold our arms in in- difference, permit our citizens to get poor- er and poorer, and our State lower and lower. Though among the foremost in this confederacy of states, when they commenced together their free and inde- pendent career, she now classes among the most backward. New York has pass- ed ber—Pennsylvania has far outstripped her—Maryland has given her the go-bye —and even Ohio, a State comparatively ‘of yesterday—forty years ago, the wil- derness abode of the wild beast and sav- age—has distanced her in her course.— The industry of the State is not cherished —her vast wealth, mineral and agricul- tural, is entirely lost by the absence of that policy which alone can develope it, and make it the active element of her wealth and prosperity. Let us connect now, while we have an opportunity, the East and West by rail- roads—draw the remote sections of the State closer by these iron ties—give the West markets—revive the East by the beneficent outpourings into her lap of the rich valley and Western regions—do this, and North Carolinians will nolonger wan- der from the soil of their birth to fancied Elysiums in the “ far West !"—Ral. Reg. f A SERIES OF OUTRAGES. We were surprised to learn, that during Guilford Superior Court, last week, the honest and moral community of Greens- borough was shocked by the occurrence of several robberies, following each other in quick succession. One of the Jewel- lery stores of that place was broken open, | and several articles of considerable value | were stolen. Another depredator, more daring than his contemporary in crime, entered one of the Stores in the day-time, and “ removed the deposites” in the draw- er, amounting to something like $100, while the Proprietor and Clerks were in the Counting-room. A gentleman, also, _became the victim of the dexterity of a _pick-pocket, who, perceiving some Bank- bills amounting to about $150, extending from the end of his pocket-book, which protruded a little from the pocket. quietly slipped them out, leaving the owner in possession of the empty book. We un- derstand that the parties have been ar- rested, supposed to be engaged in all these depredations, and that they are believed to belong to a gang of rascals who are travelling from Court to Court, under the guise of Pedlars, Traders of Tobacco, &c. In justice to the citizens of Guilford, it is but right to state, that not one of the per- sons suspected of being engaged in these recent thefts, is a resident of that County. Raleigh Register.

It is the last.we want, not only for our is not a ducts also. A high tariff can never secure us either.” Advertising.—The beneficial effects of ad- vertising have been signally manifested in the case of a respectable mechanic of this town for whom we have: inserted a business notice for some few months past. He called at the office in our absence, last week, and requested a dis- continuance of his advertisement, as more work had crowded in upon him than he could possi- bly do in several months to come! Our ad- vice would have been for him to advertise for journeymen: but he had a right to follow his own counsels. The fact is, “ quick sales and short profits” is the motto of eyery prudent merchant and tradesman at this day; and experience has taught the public that these are to be looked for only amongst those who advertise. A good bee may suck honey from the blossom. ‘The man who has cut his wisdom teeth always deals with the tradesman who advertises.— There is no mistake about this.— Wadesboro’ Argus. Idle Daughters.—It is, says Mrs. Ellis, a most painful spectacle in families where -the mother is the drudge, to see the daughters ele- gantly dressed, reclining at their ease with their drawing, their music, their fancy-work, and their reading; beguiling themselves of the lapse of hours, days and weeks, and never dreaming of their responsibilities; but, as a necessary consequence of the neglect of duty growing weary of their useless lives, laying hold of every newly invented stimulant to rouse their drooping energies, and blaming their fate when they dare not blame their God, for having placed them where they are. These individuals will often tell you with an air of affected compassion—for who can be- lieve it real ?—that * poorgear mammais work- ing herself to death.” propose that they should assist her, than they declare she is quile in her element—in short that she would never be happy if she had only half as much to do. Dreadfully “ Skeert,”—A young man resid- ing pretty well up town was returning home late a few evenings ago; after getting beyond the ‘limits’ of lights, he suddenly discovered a brawling looking fellow close behind him.— He crossed to the other side of the street—so 'did the stranger. He stopped—so, did the follower. He strolled briskly on—his attend- ant was close at his heels. He arrived at last at his dwelling, and mustering his courage he planted himself firmly on his door step, and bracing himself for an attack, he turned upon his pursuer with— ‘Look ! you, sir! You have dogged me to the last? Whatdo you want—villian ?” The loafer presented his bundle to the gen- tleman—recovering—-and with a country twang enquired— “Don’t you want to trade for this ere-roos- ter sir?” The Louisville Courier tell an amusing an- ecdote of Old Ben Harden,” who is known every where in the west. It is stated that like the restcfthe politicians, he has never been, much in the habit of praying, but always made it point to “* say grace” after meals. Crossing an old rickly bridge over the Beech Fork one day, just as he reached the middle the pillars began to quake, the timbers to give way, and Old Ben, thinking he was a goner, concluded if he had prayers to say he should prepare to say them then. The bridge cracked again, tumbled down, and just as old ‘ Kitchen Knife’ ‘ouched water he was heard to exclaim, in earnest tones, “I thank thee, Oh! Lord, for all these thy gracious gifts.” Decidedly Rich.—One of the pervenu ladies cratic in all domestic matters, was visiling a few days since at Mr. G ’s, (all know the old Major,) when, after tea the following con- versation occurred between the Major’s excel. lent old-fashioned lady and the ‘ top-not’ in con- sequence of the hired girl occupying a seat at the table.

Third Congressional District.—We are sorry to see so much dissention existing in this District, among the Whigs,. There ar now three Whig candidates running anf! one Locofoco, who would not have offer ed himself had there been-but one Whi in the field. If this state of things should continue, we hope the Whigs of the Dig trict will concentrate their votes upon ons man, and thereby defeat the hopes and expectations of their opponents. We would say in all sincerity, and with a re- ference to the good of the cause alone, that the friends of each of the candidates ought to hold a Convention and save the District the mortification of being rep sented by Green W.

The New Orleans Delta of the 27zh ul- limo publishes the subjoined letter, dated * Matamoros, April 20, 1849. “Paredes is kicking up the devil at pre- eat. The pronunciados (insurgents) took San Luis Potosi on the 17th instant, and have marched on Queretaro. The troops sent from here to put down the revolt fave pronounced in favor of Paredes, and ned the revolutionists as soon as they Ctessed the mountains.” Our previous advices from Mexico (says te Delta) represented that a formidable etion had broken out in the vicini- of San Luis, and that a large body of Mops had been sent on by the Govern- ht to put down the insurgents. If the bve intelligente be correct, we may ex- ect the unfortunate republic of Mexico on to be plunged into the horrors of an- hy, if nota civil war. CANADIAN AFFAIRS.

The 5th section of the Act of Incorporation provides | “that the husband may insure his own life, for the sole | use and benefit of his wife or children, and, in case of , . the death of the husband, the amount thus subscribed shall be paid over to the wife or children, or their guar- | dian, if under age, for her or their own use, free from all | the claims of the representatives of the husband, or any | of his creditors.” This provision needs no comment. | The Board have also determined to insure the liveg | of slaves, and this being almost half the wealth of | people of this State, a large business is reasonably an | cipated.

Murphy having been sold out at Auction, a new firm has been formed with a capital of $30,000, all of which has been invested in the Northern Markets for new goods ; and the said firm are now receiving and opening at the large brick store formerly occupied by J. & W. Murphy, direct from Philadelphia and New York, an entirely new stock of FRESH GOODS: Consisting of French, English, German, Scotch, and American Dry Goods ; Hardware, Cutlery, Queensware, HATS, BONNETS, BOOTS, SHOES, BOOKS, COMBS, Plated and Saddiery Hardware, Carriage Trimmings, Carpenters’ Tools, And all kinds of GROCERIES and all other kind of GOODS. We wish to be understood, (not blowing and bragging) that we speak the truth when we say thac we are open- | ing at this time THE LARGEST STOCK OF NEW GOODS that has ever been opened in this place; and as for beauty and style the ladies say we have the prettiest and cheapest they have yet seen. And why should they not say so, when our goods are all entirely new and all bought for cash, and such a large quantity of them. We deem it entirely unnecessary to enumerate all the articles composing onr stock, as it has become too fashionable for persons to advertise three or four times as much as they actually have. But suffice it to say, that we have a well assorted stock of all kinds of Goods of every description ; and that they are all paid for, and paid for with our own money, With all these advan- tages we think we can safely say that we will sell them | a little lower than any of our neighbors, and we would © ESTABLISHMENT. a | F.

At Jalapa we were called on by Colo- nel Riley, the Irish deserter, (so called). He is an officer in the Mex‘can army, and | says he bas been anjustly punished by Gen. Scott. as he never was an Ameriean citizen, nor was he enrolled in the Amer- ican army. He came to Mexico on his own hook, and asked a commission from Gen. Taylor, was refused; and his object was to make money, he joined the Mexi- cans, and after serving in alt the battles, was taken at Churubusco. He received two hundred stripes, the letter D. was burnt on his cheek, and he was imprison- ed nine months. He intends as soon as Gen. Taylor takes bis seat to apply to the U.S. for redress, which, if his story be true, he will undoubtedly get. It is said Gen. Taylor never considered him a de- serter, He is a fine specimen of an Irish gentleman, and a friend to all Americans. He has great influence bere, and has helped many Americans that were in trou- ble here. Wedined with bim on Sunday, and had a very pleasant time.’ Now it is a fact too well known to bear contradiction, that Riley deserted from the American army at Corpus Christi, a short | time before the war with Mexico, and | throughout the entire campaign, evinced , an Arnold-like hostility tothe Americans. , He was among the last to quit the bloody heights of Cerro Gordo, and on the gory | field of Churubusco, he did more to in- | jure the Americans in their advance upon | those works, than any officer they had to contend with. He was the leader of that i body of deserters known as “ The Foreign Legion,” and commanded them at the | bridge of Churubusco, better known in ‘this history of that sanguinary conflict, as | the ‘ Tete de Point ;’ and being an expert _artilleryman, he created fearful havoc in | the American ranks, as they issued from the Convent, and bore down upon the spot. | He was taken prisoner, together with his ,men, who not long afterwards expiated i their crime upon the gallows; while he, the main mover, and principal personage ;escaped with life, because he deserted | before the war commenced.

In publishing the following tribute to the patriotism of the Ladies of North Car. olina during the Revolution, we take oc- casion to express an earnest desire, that gentlemen in Mecklenburg, Rowan, Ire- dell, &c., would even at this late day take some pains to examine any old Records of Correspondence, and to commit to writing any traditionary evidence, likely to throw light on the important events of that pe- riod. There is the more need of this now, since it is estimated that Messrs. Bancroft, ‘and Sparks, may possibly, in the forth- coming Histories, decide adversely to the genuineness of the Mecklenburg Declar- ation of May 20th,1775. There are ma- ny causes which will make such a deci- sion peculiarly ungrateful to North Caro- lina, even though the equivalent Resolve of the 31st May, 1775 be prominently ad- mitted, as they must be, to be beyond doubt authentic.—Fay. Observer. For the Observer. THE LADIES OF N. CAROLINA DU- RING THE REVOLUTION. Among the many Revolutionary docu- ments which have survived to the present time, none demand more special attention than those which follow. In their con- test for civil and religious freedom, our which has called forth universal admira- tion. Undoubtedly, this spirit was pro- duced by many co-operating causes—but among its many supports a very promis- ing place must be given to the lively pat- riotism of the Ladies of that time. They who bore their parts in the council cham- ber and on the battle field, were sustain- ed by the assurance, that at home bright eyes and warm hearts were deeply inter- ested in their success. For in those days, Sisters urged on their brothers—Maidens sent forth their lovers—Mothers contribu- ted sons, and Wives gave up their hus- of their God. In Vol. I. of “ American Archives,” can be found the following “ Association sign- ed by fifty-one ladies of Edenton, N. C., Oct. 25, 1774.” “As we cannot be indifferent on any occasion that appears to effect the peace and happiness of our country; and as it | has been thought necessary for the public good to enter into several particular Re- solves by a meeting of Members of Dep- uties from the whole Province, itis a duty that we owe, not only to our near and dear relations and connections, but to our- selves, who are essentially interested in their welfare, to do every thing as far as lies in our power to testify our sincere ad- herence to the same; and we do there- fore accordingly subscribe this paper as a witness of our fixed intention, and solemn determination to do so.” The existence of this paper makes us deeply regret that no one has yet discov- | ered copies of “ The Associations of the Ladies,” in the counties of Mecklenburg |and Rowan. For they would be wreaths of immortal honor to their signers. The Ladies of Edenton applauded the Resolves of the first Provincial Convention which /met at Newbern, Aug. 24, 1774, before | collision had taken place between the ' Colonies and Great Britain. dies of Mecklenburg and Rowan showed that even bloodshed, and the loss of the defenders of their firesides, could not frighten them, from giving an earnest “God speed you,” to the signers and to ithe supporters of the Mecklenburg De- ‘claration. A notice of the first of the fol- | lowing papers can be found in Dr. Foote’s \* Sketches of N. Carolina.” The present _is supposed to be the first publication of | the proof of the existence of the second. We leave the young men of our own time ‘to judge what effect these Declarations of ‘Independence from Tory sweet hearts must have had on the heroes of 76. We are indebted to the patriotic researches of Dr. Joseph Johnson of Charleston, S. C., for the following Editorial article. (It can be found in the “South Carolina and A- -merican Gazette, No. 908, Friday, Feb. | 2d to 9th, 1776” :)— “ A North Carolina correspondent who signs himself, “Philogune,” informs us, = That the young Ladies of the best fam- ilies in Mecklenburg County, in N. Caro- lina, have entered into a voluntary Asso- | ciation, that they will not receive the ad- | dresses of any young gentleman of that | place, except the brave volunteers who cheerfully served in the expedition of ’ OASIS = 7 the.royalists wholived in the fork between ce Broad. and Saluda’ Rivers.in.S. Caro- ina. William Tennent, visited this district in 1775, and invited its settlers to join: the large majority of their countrymen in de- fence of their common rights. But, part- ly through zeal for thvir Sovereign, and partly by the management of ambitious and misguided men, these royalists took up arms against the cause of the Colonies. Late in the fall°of 1775, the Provincial Congress sent a force under the command of Col. Richardson ‘and Col. Thompson against these insurgents and completely subdued them. Among the troops in this expedition, were nine hundred men from N. Carolina, sent forth by the combined energy of Love and Patriotism. This « Association of Young Ladies” must have been signed very late in 1775, or early in 1776. The Ladies in Rowan County imitated the example of the Ladies in Mecklen- burg, by signing similar Associations, ac- cording to the expectation of Philogune. Although we have not even the substance of their declaration (except by inference) yet we have sure evidence of the manner in which the old men of ’76 received these expressions of sympathy in their efforts. In the manuscript Record of the proceed- forefathers were animated by a spirit | bands, to the cause of their country and But the La- | |ing of the Committee of Rowan County, there is the following entry, under the ) date, May 8, 1776. “A letter from a number of young La- dies in the County directed to the Chair- man, requesting the approbation of the Committee to a number of resolutions en- closed, entered into and signed by the same young Ladies, being read, “Resolved, That this Committee pre- sent their cordial thanks to the said young Ladies for so spirited a performance ; look upon their Resolutions to be sensible and polite—that they merit the honor and are worthy the imitation of every young Lady in America. The Committee adjourned to Commit- tee in course. SAM’L. YOUNG, Ch’n. Wo. Suarpeg, Sec’y. The document from which this extract | is made was brought to light by the Rev. | Mr. Rockwell, of Iredell county—to whose | praiseworthy zeal in hunting for revolu- | tionary papers we are under many obli- gations. The publication of these Asso- | ciations renders entirely reasonable the | untiring exertions of the people of Meck- _lenburg and Rowan counties in behalf of their country, which earned for their homes that honorabie distinction “ Fhe Hornet’s Nest.” C. P. THE CAMANCHE INDIANS. The Cherokee Advocate of the 9th ult. has the following : | A deputation of Camanches, who late- ly came in to see and ask the advice of ‘their ‘red brethren, the Seminoles, had a | friendly ‘talk’ with the Seminoles at the | house of the polite and eflicient Seminole | Agent, Mr. Du Val, on the 6th of March. | Wild Cat told the Camanches ‘that the Whites were a great and powerful people, and it would be better for the Camanches if they would be friendly with ‘Uncle _Sam,’ as he had once been at with them. You had better go home and raise corn and stock, as the Seminoles do, and be frendly with all nations.’ He, Wild Cat, hoped that peace would soon be establish- /ed over the whole world,’ (the prairies.) “The Camanche said whatever his _ friends told him to do he would do. The 'Camanches were sorry for what they had done, and would bé friendly with the { { William H. Dayton,:and the Rev. }. | whites, and those who were going across | the Prairies to the big Waters should be ‘safe from the depredations of the Ca- 'manches.

Letter from the Lady of Sir John Frank- lin to the President of the U. States. Beprorp Puace, Lonpon, April 4, 1849. Str: I address myself to you as the head of a great nation, whose power to help me I cannot doubt, and in whose dis- position to dosoI have a confidence which I trust you will not deem presamptuous. The name of my husband, Sir Joun FRANKLIN, is probably not unknown to you. It is intimately connected with the northern part of that continent of which the American republic forms so vast and conspicuous a portion. When I visited the United States, three years ago, a- mongst the many proofs I received of re- spect and courtesy, there was none which touched and even surprised me more than the appreciation every where expressed to me of his former services in geograph- ical discovery, and the interest felt in the enterprise in which he was then known to be engaged. The expedition fitted out by our Gov- ernment for the discovery of the North- west Passage (that question which for three hundred years has engaged the in- terest and baffled the energies of the man of science and the navigator) sailed un- der my husband’s command,in May, 1845. | The two ships, * Erebus” and “ Terror,” | contained 138 men, (officers and crews.) | and were victualled for three years.— They were not expected home, unless suc- cess had early rewarded their efforts, or some casualty hastened their return, be- fore the close of 1847; nor were any tid- ings expected from them in the interval. But when the autumn of 1847 arrived. without any intelligence of the ships, the attention of her Majesty’s Government was directed to the necessity of searching of their being imprisoned in ice or wreck- ed, and in want of provisions and means of transport. For this purpose an expe- dition, in three divisions, was fitted out in the early part of last year, directed to viz: First, to that by which, in case of suc- cess, the ships would come out of the Po- lar Sea to the westward, (or Behring’s Strait.) Second, to that by which they entered on their course of discovery, on the eas- tern side, (or Davis's Strait.) And, third, to an intervening portion of e Arctic shore, approachable by Jand ments, on which it was supposed the | crews, if obliged to abandon their ships, might be found. This last division of the expedition was placed under the command of my bus- band’s faithful friend, the companion of his former travels, Dr. Sir Jobn Richard- son, who landed at New York in April of last year, and hastened to join his men and boats, which were already in advance towards the Arctic shore. Of this portion of the expedition I may briefly say, that the absence of any intelligence from Sir John Richardson, this season, proves he has been unsuccessful in the object of his search.

The Board of Admiralty, under a con- viction of this fact, has been induced to offer a reward of £20,000 sterling-to any ship or ships of any country, or to any ex- ploring party whatever, which shall ren- der efficient assistance to the missing ships, or their crews, or to any portion of them. This announcement, which, even if the sum had been doubled or trebled, would have met with public approbation, comes, however, too late for our whalers, which had unfortunately sailed before it was issued, and which, even if the news should overtake them at their fishing grounds, are totally unfitted for any pro- lenged adventure, having only a few months’ provisions on hoard and no addi- tional clothing. Tothe American whalers, both in the Atlantic and Pacific, 1 look with more hope as competitors for the prize, being well aware of their numbers and strength, their thorough equipment, and the bold spirit of enterprise which animates their crews. But I venture to look even beyond these. J am not with- out hope that you will deem it not unwor- thy of a great and kindred nation to take up the cause of humanity, which I plead in a national spirit, and. thus generously make it your own. - I must here in gratitude addace the ex- ample of the Imperial Russian Govern- ment, which, as I am led to hope by his ex- celleny the Russian Ambassador in Lon- | don, who forwarded a memorial on the | subject, will send out exploring parties this summer from the Asiatic side of Beh- ring’s Strait, northwards, in search of the lost vessels. It would be a noble specta- cle to the world if three great nations, possessed of the widest empires on the face of the globe, were thus to unite their efforts in the truly christian work of sav- ing their perishing fellow men from de- struction. It is not for me to suggest the mode in which such benevolent efforts might best be made. I will only say, however, that | if the conceptions of my own mind, to which I do not venture te give utterance, were realized, and that in the noble com- petition which followed American sea- men had the good fortune to wrest from us the glory, as might be the case, of solv- inz the problem of the unfound passage, or the still greater glory of saving our adventurous navigators from a lingering fate which the mind sickens to dwell 6n, |: though I should in either case regret that it was not my own brave countrymen in those seas whose devotion was thus re¢ warded, yet should I rejoice that it was to America we owed our restored happj- ness, and should be forever bound to her by ties of affectionate gratitude. I am not without some misgivings while I thus address you. The intense anxie- ties of a wife and of a daughter may have led me to press too earnestly on your no- tice the trial under which we are suffer- ing, (yet not we only, but hundreds of oth- ers,) and to presume too much on the sympathy which we are assured is felt beyond the limits of our own jand. Yet, if you deem this to be the case, you will still find, I am sure, even in that personal intensity of feeling, an excuse for the fearlessness with which I have thrown myself on your generosity, and will par- don the homage I thus pay to your own high character, and to that of the people over whom: you have the high distinction to preside. : 4 - | have the honor to be, sir, with great res -our obedient servant, ’ pect You JANE, FRANKLIN I beg pers. -- << and Search now in the Arctic Seas. | In the year 1845 her Majesty's Govern- | which it: is probab saleved i to annex some eaplanatory pa-i*° ker, or about 98 ‘deg. ‘y then to ase every effort to 1 wards and westwards’ owards Bell Strait, ear was jn this<p — greatest difficultics were a hen¢ If these proved to be ities raiel ab next directed to return to Barrow and proceed _ northward, by the- a channel between Devon.and* Comwalls.

Now, if these roads were totally unproductive as dividend stocks, and therefore a dead investment, we should still be the gainers (we speak of Boston) by the sum of more than $40,000,000 in that short time. Could Boston have adopted any other policy which would have given ber the commanding position she has now attained ?

May we not hope that a more patriotic feeling will animate the voters and the candidates in that strong Whig District ?

His family heard a cry, and immediate- ly after his horse ran home, with a part of his sulky, the remaioder having been lodg.- ed against a tree. His family and oyer- seer ran to the spot and found him just alive; but it is thought he never breathed. Beside him, and partly covered with btood, they found a stake, about eight feet long, such as.are used,in running fences. No traces could be found of the villain or vil- lains who perpetrated the awful deed, The deceased was an old and excellent citizen, and_his death is invelved in. mys- tery, as it was not theught he bad an eue- 4 land Herald for the following insight into the process of conversion, of the good-will of the Apostate Whigs of that part of Ohio'to the ben- efit of a Free Democracy : : : Pana t “ Yesterday [May 2] was the day fixed upon | by those Who. have heretofore had the destinies of the some time.Free Soil party in their keep, ing fur a review of the progress of the great principles lying at the bottom of their organi- zation, and for a re-examination of the plavking of the Buffalo Platform. ~ To this eventful day. with much anxiety, had the two. wings of this great party been for a long time looking... In the morning the Convention organized, and ap- pointed a Committee on Resolutions, at the head of which was.the Hon. Mr. Giddings.— Upon the re-assembling of the Convention in the afiernoon the report of this committee was- read, accepted, and adopted. By design, as it. afterwards appeared from the statements of Mr. Giddings, the terms ‘Free Soilers’ and ‘ Free Demoeracy’ bad both been used in the course of these resolutions. The first, however, gra- Jno. . . orcs itt ng. e a: hn ed the following Resolutions‘ which were ae imously adopted. koe. ane . "Resolved, That the consequences of thay; icy which North Carolina bas hitherts in regard to Internal Improvements ¢ |tov deeply deplored—@ policy which tg her far behind her sister States in al4 ments of pnblic gre —a policy driven thousands of ber inhabitants reluetas from her horders, and-offered no ind oa > Saxe We} ted upon the ear of Dr. Finney, and he moved to reconsider the vote on the adoption of the re- solutions, fur the purpose of having them ex- purgated, and the term ‘Free Demoeracy ’ sub- stituted for that of ‘Free Soilers”’ wherever the same occurred. This motion, by a pretty close vate, failed. The Doctor, however, was not to be baffled thus: he immediately moved that the Secretary be instructed to report the resolutions for publication with the substitutions made as above indicated, and as the proceedings of the ‘ Free Democracy.’ This gave rise to some sparring between the brethren of the 'and_ conciliation ; | we believe surpass, northern work of the | The rakes are made | The scythe-snaths are | ‘Free’ household. Giddings was for harmony Hitchcock for the latter clause of the motion; Atkins for the whole ; and Briggs desired the Doctor to remember that they could not consent to yield every thing. The Doctor was tart, and very munch disposed to push the Whig Free Soilers to the wall_— The vote was at length taken and the Doctors were triumphant. Froin that moment thence. | forth the * Free Soil’ party was no more, tts ex- istence being merged in the ‘Free Democracy.’ ” The Convention then solemnly resolved, a- mongst other things, as follows : “That the Free Democrats of the Western Reserve will firmly adhere to the principles proclaimed at Buffalo, August 10, 1848, and at Columbus, December 29, 1848. “ That, discarding all alliance with any oth. er party, we will court an union with all men upon these principles for the sake of freedom.” It must be a source of sincere satisfaction to all true friends of the Constitution that these persons, who abandoned the Whig party and its principles at (and for some time before) the |late Presidential Election, have at length thrown off all disguise, openly renounced the name of Wuic, “discarded ” all alliance with any other party than the “ Democracy,” and, with a destitution of principle without prece- dent in the history of parties in our day, cast out their net to catch all men of any principles whatever who will join them upon thetrs.— We will court an union,” says their reeolution, “with all men upon these principles.” The following Resolution shows that the re- al object of this new Coalition is to unite with the Coalition of an opposite complextion in the common purpose of embarrassing, and finally overthrowing, the present Whig Administra- tion: * Resolved, That, as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, we will trust no man who is not openly and avowedly, in act and in word, for freedom, and that we cannot under these circumstances support any party, or the Presi. dent of any party, who is not thus open and de. cided.” The Italics of the above Resolution are co- pied from the official account of the Proceed. ings. From this brazen proclamation of fac- tious motives for the re-baptism of these parti- zans calling themselves * Free Soilers”’ in Ohi® it is plain that, if President Taylor desires the support of those men for his administration, he must become not only in bis heart, but ‘‘out- wardly ” and “in act and word,” an Abolition- ist. President Taylor will, we have no doubt, to this proposition to him to abandon his colors and surrender the principles of the Constitution, (which he has sworn before the whole People to preserve, protect, and defend.) reply in the same spirit as he did to the summons of Santa Anna on the field of Buana Vista, He will “‘ beg leave to decline acceding to their request” to surrender either his post or his principles “at discretion.” —WNat. Intelligencer. GREAT FIRE AT CHARLESTON. We learn from the Charleston Courier that an extensive fire occurred in that city on the 7th inst., which destroyed about 150 houses. The region of the fire is bounded by Meeting street on the west, Charleston street on the north, Elizcbeth street east, and Boundary on the south. All the buildings, with the excep. beth, Boundary and Meeting street, were con- sumed. The houses destroyed were mostly all small, and eccupied by persons of small means. Loss estimated at 25,000 or 30.000 dollars. Canadian Affairs.— The Montreal papers re- present things as quiet in that city. An ad- dress has been published in Montreal, signed by a very large number of the most prominent and respected citizens, urging the maintenance of peace and order, and the resort-only to legal and constitutional means for the redress of what may be considered grievances. At King- ston, Canada West, a public meeting was he on the 1st instant, at which resolutions, very fair and moderate tn tone, were adopted, ad- verse to the rebellion losses bill and the action of the Government thereon, regretting the ex- plosion at Montreal, and pledging the meeting to the preservation of ordes, &c. ; aleo, avow- ing a wish for the reealt of Lord Elgio, but this in a deeorous and evenkindly manner, with- out insult of vituperation. $i Governor of Arkansas,—T1 e Bal ville (Ark.)

The Military and Police finally gained possession of the ground, and cannon were planted, charge with grape shot, in front ofthe Theatre. The city was in an up- tear all Thursday night, and the Military yesterday morning, were throwing up en- renchments to resist any attempts that might be made by the mob to dislodge | them. - Great excitement existed, andthe mob. were hanging about the spot. It was ru- mored that Mr. Macready had been kill- td, but it was ascertained that he had es- taped unhurt. A number of those who were killed and wounded were not en- taged in the riot.

Perhaps it may please some of your readers to know the treatment they have received. ‘They stand in a border, twelve feet wide by thirty feet long. I prepare this border by throwing out all the soil and subsoil to the depth of three feet. The bottom was then fill- ed up with stones, mixed with half lime rub- hish (from the walls of an old house) one foot in depth. Throwing away all the subsoil, I then mixed with the good soil ten cart loads of | stable manure, and two barrels of bone dust, and a cart load of leached ashes.

I do not remember-that I failed in one instance. Some of ‘my neighbors also received benefit by the above process. PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS. The following items are made up from the New England Farmer, a new agricultural jour- nal, edited by 5. W. Cole, Esq., late of the Boston Cultivator : Orcuarps should not be cropped with wheat. Horned cattle should not be adinitted. Manure that kills the grass sod is best—spreading it at some distancé fromthetree. ‘The best location is by walls and fences—a row of trees is no en- cumbrance around*a garden lot. Horses, to be well managed, should be’ fed in winter on a variety of food, snch as beans, peas, &c.—in summer, on clover, green corn. ~~ ry week, and occasionally sulphur and wood ashes. Ixp1an Corn has less nutritious matter than wheat, oats, or barley, but much more than rice or potatoes—has more fatty matter than either. | One pound of meal will take up one and one- half quarts of water. Poratrors.—The best and cheapest practi- cal remedy for rot is the cultivation of hardy kinds. -Sweet potatoes may be preserved in an airy, dry, and dark place. Bones.—Let farmers preserve every splin- ter, as one pound of dust contains as much phosphoric acidas one hundred pounds of wheat. Sarr Muck, kept over winter and mixed with lime, may be used with advantage in the transplanting of fruit trees. Bruisep Fiax Sexp behold with the ordi- nary food, has been found economical in pro- moting appetite and health of cattle. For Porarors, a pint, or half a pint of ash- es, coal, wood, or mixed, thrown into each hill, has proved most successfnl. To rncREASE THE F ERE under boiling water is wasteful—as the additional heat dues no more than increase the evaporation. Your Sranues should be keyt clean and pro. fitable by sprinkling the fluors slightly with plaster of Paris or charcoal dust. Bap Cretvars, in a single winter, may occa- sion a greater loss uf vegetables than the ex. pense of fit ones. Forest Trees, for transplanting. are sold tom. The vines were planted six feet apart, and | trained to an upright trellis.

AN AMANTEUR. New York, December, 1848. From the Southern Planter. HOW TO SAVE SEED CORN. Farmers are not generally aware that seed corn should be saved from stalks which have ‘not been stripped of their leaves. A little re- flection will convince any one that. it is only | such corn that can be said to have arrived at | | perfection. ‘The leaves uf corn, it is well. known, perform the same part iu the economy of that plant, that the lungs do in econumy of | the human body—breathing, so to speak, the | air, and assilating or rejecting its elements | when decomposed, according as they are or | are not necessary for its use. Accordingly, | when the leaves are stripped for fodder, the | plant soon dies, and as the process of stripping is always commenced before the corn is per- fectly ripe, it of course cannot possess its full strength, when planted next season, must fail in productiveness when compared with that | | which has been suffered to'come to perfection. | | ‘These are simple, but scientific facts, which | | cannot be refuted, and should be borne in mind , and acted upon by all farmers, who have a re. | gard for their interests, or take a pride in their | | avocation.—The quantity of corn required for | | seed should always be saved in the way we | | have described ; and the few bundles of fodder ; | which the farmers will lose by it, will be paid | for a thousand times over by the superior qual- ity and quantity of his next year’s crop.

An old addage that “haste makes waste,” is in nothing more strikingly illustrated than in the operations of some who call tbemselves farmers. Everything is performed in a hurry and consequently, in a manner so imperfect, as to render the results necessarily discouraging even to the most sanguine. If they hire a team to plow, it is always with the understanding, (on their part,) that so much land is to be * got over,” in a specified time, or for a specified amount ; they care but a little how the opera- tion is performed, whether with a deep and eveny or a jagged and shallow furrrow—or whether the sod is fairly inverted or lefi stand. ing on the edge. So in hoeing, and other sim. ilar operations which require to be perfurmed with the greatest nicety. A smart man who can brush-over a large surface, is considered as more profitable than a skillful but slow ope- rator, who wil) hoe but a comparatively small exfent, but do it well. Men who are guided in their agrestic efforts by such erroneous views rarely make much headway in the acquisition of property by farming. ‘They overlook the great principle ever to be regarded in agricul- ture, that thoroughness is always preferable to In laying dow are in the practice o necessary: they consequently get a poor crop Biking apy bie peters eee adda | Martingales, Harness, Collars, Saddle Wallete, Trunks, munerite them for the expense of the seed and Valises, Sc.,§c.

The subscriber’s efforts to improve this valuable site, have resulted in the completion of a never yielding dam, a Saw Mill, in active operation, a Grist Mill, soon to be put in motion, and the commencement of a building 28 by 75 feet, designed for a Factory, about half finished.

These two measures were the work of a Republican Administration of the government. but they were strenuous- ly opposed by the States Right party. On their passage in Congress, it was declared by John Randolph, one of the most pro- found and sagacious statesman Virginia or any other country ever prodaced, that a revolution in our government had oc- curred, whose consequences no man could calculate. The result verified this pre- diction. Our population is now twenty millions, and yet it is thought by all par- ties, that twenty-five millions of dollars per annum is enough for the support of government in time of peace. Yet six- teen years ago, when our population was but little more than half of what it is now, this government exacted $32,000,000 as duties on our foreign imports, and that too, when in consequence of this beavy burthen on our foreign trade, we only im- ported 64,000,000. The government took half the value of the imports as a tax on foreign trade. This outrage was the cause of South Carolina nullification. Now the power of the Federalgovern- ment over foreign commerce is by the Constitution precisely the same as over that among the States. It is a power to regulate only. And the South contended that inasmuch as the imports from abroad were the proceeds chiefly of her staple exports, and were therefore to all intents and purposes the product of her industry and capital, that there was no more con- stitutional right to tax them on arriving in our ports, than to tax the products of the When, therefore, the statesmen of the South reflect on the great commercial and manufacturing prosperity of their country in the days of direct taxation, and behold now her dilapidated cities and deserted harbors, under the change of system, is it | wonderful that they have made the halls | of Congress eloquent with the ruin and | | wrong they have suffered ? as at the end of that period the exports of | derful that the North, whilst it cannot be- | ‘lieve that what has been so conducive to its own prosperity should be detrimental 'to others, should not take the South at its | Or is it won- word as to its decline, and seek for other | causes of such a result?)

And it is now assumed that the | South, particularly the older States, is) underging the process of impoverishment, | depopulation and decay. At the North > she is continually spoken of, by almost all | classess, in terms of mingled condemna.- | tion and pity. She is accused of idleness, ignorance, cruelty and pride. She is ad- | vised to emancipate her slaves, and emu- late North in enterprise, industry and ci- vilization. | The first object of civilized life is to ac- | { | | cumulate wealth, as on that depends im- | | provement in science and the arts, and the | _supply of the multiplied wants of society average value of property belonging to in that state. | And hence it is that the South is declar- | ed to be falling behind the civilization of the age, and is advised to abandon her | | peculiar institution in order to avoid the disastrous condition of ignorance and bar- barism that awaits her. Now in an age like this, intelligence, with the schoolmasters all | abroad, with the universal diffusion of the ess and the post, and on a question like | this, of the first magnitude and the least | |complexity, and whilst the people of the two sections are continually travelling a- | '8! |it is about eleven, and I am very confi- and in Congress, it is scarcely creditable that a universal mistake prevails as to the facts. Yet in opposition to the existing | opinion on the subject, I maintain that the | South is greatly the superior of the North in wealth in proportion to the number of ‘their cétizens respectively ; and this will appear by a comparison of the progress The North, and even many in the South, have assumed a decline in manu- tures and commerce, to be a decline of general prosperity. This is an error.— and advanced its prosperity beyond that of any other people. Let us first examine the condition of the white people of the two sections. The State of Massachusetts for instance, is generally regarded as one of the most | successful and flourishing of the North : and is constantly referred to by the news- papers as a model for all the others, and _ very frequently as a taunt to the South- ern. If, however, we compare this favor- | ern State of similar territorial extent and | we shall find the latter to be decidedly superior in wealth in proportion to the | number of her citizens. ee ne to the census of 1840, Maryland had a free pop- mesg ulation of 380,282, and in 1847 her pro- | of 5 per cent imvevery item of taxation last year. | | \ ‘ of pre-eminent | 10 that the price of land in Kentucky is, ‘in consequence of slavery, much lower | than in Ohio. has nothing equivalent. erty and ruin, are all richer, much richer, ‘than those of the non-slaveholding States 'which have been usually considered as of the white people of the respective sec- | the most flourishing members of this con- | tions. ite ofthe North with Maryland, a South- /one of the least of the Southern States, x - = — _ : eet was <assessed. at $202,272,650.4— fassachosetts in 1840 had a population of 737,699, and ‘her rty now is only 300,000,000. Taking these two assess- ments asthe basis of comparison, and it appears that the average property of a free person in Maryland was $531. whilst in Massachusetts it is now in the palmiest days she has ever seen, only $406 per head—the freemen of Maryland being about 25 per cent the richer. The States of New York and Virgin. ia are both of great territorial extent, and not materially unequal in that re- spect. New York is also regarded, ha- bitually, as one of the grandest products of free institutions—and the present con- dition of Virginia is continually referred to as a striking and melancholy result of slavery. Her poverty, her ignorance, her decay, and ber misery, are the threadbare topics of modern political philosophy here and abroad. Let us now consider the facts. Her free population in 1840, ac- cording to the census, was 790.810, and her property is now about $600,000,000.+ The population of New York in 1840 was 2,428,921, and in. 1847 her property is as- sessed at $632,699,993. ~The average property of a free person in Virginia is $858 ; in New York it is only $260, ora little more than one-third. Virginia instead of being poor and in need of the pity of, the much poorer pop- ulation of the North, is perhaps the rich- est community in the world. The aver- age wealth of the people of Great Britain may be about the same, but it is not near so productive, and I think it demonstrable that no people on earth live ina condition of greater comfort and enjoyment than those of Virginia. Nor is there any rea- son to fear a decline in her wealth. Ac- cording to the census returns of 1840, Vir- ginia with a free population of less than one third of that of New York, and a capital something less, produced from the various branches of her industry, more than half the product of New York; and as the total population of Virginia, slave and free, is only about half of that of New York, it is clear that after deducting the annual comsumption of both, Virginia will have a larger proportional surplus remaining to augment the stock of her permanent property. If now we examine the relative condi- tion of the new States, the same results are apparent. The States of Kentucky and Ohiolie side by side, and are of simi- lar climate, fertility, and extent, the pro- portion of rich land being, however, less in Kentucky. Their age is also nearly the same, Kentucky having been admit- ted as a State about eleven years before Ohio. Ohio is considered the most pros- perous State in the West, and is continu- ally contrasted with Kentucky for the purpose of illustrating the blighting ef- fects of slavery on the latter. Let ussee with what reason. In 1840, Kentucky had a free popula- tion of 597,570, and her property amounts, according to her tax assessment of 1848, to about 272,847,696. Ohio, in 1840, had a population of 1,819.467, and her assess- ment last year was 421,067,991. The each free person, in Kentucky, is $456— in Ohio it is only $276, or more than one third less; and as the population of Ohio is now still greater in proportion to that of Kentucky than in 1840, the difference in favor of the latter is still more. Nothing is more common than the opin- I have examined the Aud- itors’ reports of both States, which pre- sent in detail the valuation of all their lands. In Kentucky, the average value is about seven dollars per acre; in Ohio dent the quality of Ohio land is to that | extent superior—as in Kentucky there is a large mountain region for which Ohio | Thus, then, it is manifest that the free people of the slave- holding States—of those States which are uniformly regarded as the victims of pov- | federacy, and the most prosperous com- | munities the world ever saw.

Sir :—You have requested my opinion on the proper construction of the 7th section of the act, passed at the recent Session of the Legis- | lature, entitled, “ An Act to increase, the Rev. , enue of the State.” The question you present, | arises on the proviso, found, at the conlusion of that section, and is whether that proviso ex- _tends to the whole act: and if not, to how much | thereof. I am of opinion that the proviso extends to the entire 7th section, to each and every sub- ‘ject of taxation therein specified; and that it extends to no other part of the act. If that proviso was, as is alleged by some, | _ intended to be less extensive than to the whole , _of the 7th section, Iam unable to perceive that intent in the language of the law.

His reply to my views is rather of the laconic o being nothing more than a simple denial, in terms er coarse to be repeated in your paper.

Payne, Chairman, and CuarLes Mock, Esq Secretary. The meeting was addressed by P.

He urged with force and ae fhe importance of attending said Convention, and ing with the friends of the enterprise from the vera! Counties on the route, in consulting, and devis- ing the ways and meens of securing its success The pghis of experience in other States should guide and di- pect and encourage us.

Our geographical +: 08 between the North and the South, the Atlantic | | SEE ocean and Mississippi river, would secure the travel ; | oar climate, from its variety and salubrity, would invite ysners; our soil and land, from their numerous and feh agricultural and mineral resources, with the | nt growth in manufactures,—all combined could pot fail to make the stock and profits of the eerie Rail Road profitable, desirable, and indispensable.— Then, we had but to resolve that labor and provi- | gions and materials are capital—and all these we have _-and by union of private enterprize in the several coun- | ties on the route, the Central Rail Road can and will be pailt. The 36th section of the charter, requiring $500,- 000 to be paid in to secure the State’s subscription, up- on a fair, liberal and legal construction, could be met with the same assurance of good bonds and securities “sad with the Treasurer of said Corporation, which secure the several bank charters of the State. In con- elusion he offered the following Preamble and Resolu- tions; and warmly urged all to go home and prepare to | meet in Salisbury, the 14th June, to unite in carrying | out this noble enterprize for themselves and their poste- | } | | 5 he Mo n e e il l dt at tity. Whereas, It is desired that the several Counties on the proposed route of the Central Rail Road should meet by Delegates in Salisbury on the 14th of June, to con- | galt and devise ways and means to secure the success | of this great work. Therefore— 1. Resolred, That we will heartily co-operate with all the friends of the scheme on that occasion in devis- ing the ways and means to insure its success. 9. Resolred, That we believe labor and provisions are essential elements of success in works of Internal Im- provements ; and with these as our capital, with union and effort, the Central Rail Road can, ought, and must be built. 3.

Cuaries Mock, Secretary. Pablic Meeting in Caldwell. citizens of Caldwell County, was held on the 15th of May, (being Tuesday of Court week) for the purpose of considering the works of Internal Improvement au- thorized by the last Legislature. The meeting was orgonized by calling Gen. Samven F. Parrerson, to the Chair, and C. C. Jones, Secreta- ry. The Chairman, after stating the objects of the meeting, made a very satisfactory explanation of the Charter of the Western Turnpike, and the nature of the funds provided for its completion, and ably set forth the reasons why the Road should be made North of the Catawba River. On motion, of A. C. Willamson, Esq., the Chairman appointed a committee of five, consisting of Gen. C. W. Clark, Wm. A. Lenoir, A. C. Williamson, Alfred Hartley, and George Conley. cise and able address, advocating the Turnpike, not so much as a whole or continuous line, but as a chain of valuable links, provided the same be properly located, and showed conclusively, that the route North of the River, in connection with the Caidwell and Ashe Turn- pike, would become a thorough-fare of the greatest im- portance to our State. The committee reported the following resolutions: Resolved, That whereas the Western Turnpike is the only State work which is authorised to be made ex- cusively at the expense of the State ; it is therefore just aad right, that the same shall be so located as best to promote the general interest of North Carolina, and the greatest number of her citizens. Resolged, That in the judgment of this meeting. (and we believe of every unbiased mind,) that the route via Statesville, Taylorsville. Lenoir, and Morganton, will be the most useful and valuable in every part,—will serve directly the interests of much the largest and most valuable section of North Carolina, and by connecting at Lenoir, with the Caldwell and Ashe Turnpike, will form the best and much the most direct thorough-fare cross- greatest importance to the Rail Road interests of North Carolina, and that any route further South, would ut- terly fail to accomplish these desirable objects. Resolved, That the distance from Morganton to Statesville, if increased at all, by the route we propose, will be more than counterbalanced by the superior ad- vantages of the route in cost of construction and quality of soil, as most of the Road may be located on gray mindy ridges, equal in many respects to McAdamised Toad, wear the valleys or farming lands, and on grades Temarkably favorable for a road. Morganton, be located South of the Catawba river, through the County of Catawba, much the greater part will necessarily cross the country, and the channels of trade so nearly at right angles, as to be almost entirely the West and the counties North of the river, will in any event take the route we have indicated, while the counties South of the river, being nearer to the Rail Road at Charlotte, will trade there. Therefore, it is plain the further North the road can be located, the greater will be the transportation—the greater the benefits to the State, and the largest number of her citizens. Resolved, That the route we have proposed is pre- on account of the immense amount of water power North of the Catawba river, especially in the counties of Caldwell, Alexander and Wilkes, which we can searcely be surpassed by any section of the State, and with these and other advantages combined, We believe that this route cannot fail under any circum- ances to become, ere long, one of especial favor and tegard on the part of the State. Should the present toad be made through the county of Catawba, we fear "will share the fate of the old State road through the ar tection—part of whieh was discontinued at the Session of the Legislature. esolved, That the Commissioners and Engineers, ih us te eo ¢: rr the se *ppointed to locate said road, are hereby respectfully | earnestly requested to make an examination of the © Tate we have recommended.

Cuarves Fisuer. Resolved, That during a long public life both in the | councils of his native State and of the Nation, he was | o} distinguished by eminent talents, enlarged and liberal patriotism, and by most useful public services. Resolved, That in his death, the community in which he resided, has lost a valuable member, and the State an efficient, enlightened, and public spirited citizen. Resolved, That we extend to the family of the de- ceased, our siricere sympathies in their bereavement.

THEY FELL ME THAT HE IS NOT TRUE. BY ANN G. COOK. They tell me that he is not true, Although he bent his knee, And swore that while his life blood flowed, He ne’er would love but me. They say he’s false ; that other eyes Have lured him from my side, And other charms more rare than mine, Have won for him a bride. They tell me that he is not true, The soothing tear drops start, For oh ! within this breast of miae There beats a faithful heart. A heart whose pulses never cease To throb for him alone, Although within the false one’s breast It meets no answering tone. They tell me that he is not trne— They jest his new made vow, And wonder why there steals no look Of mirth across my brow. Oh, be it so, if he has left An old friend for a new, This thought shall ease my troubled heart, _ a> Trat I was over true. ——_——— They will leave North Carolina ! “ Our attention was arresied, on Saturday last, by quite a long train of wagons winding through our streets, which, upon inquiry, we found to belong to a party em- from Wayne County, in this State, to the “ far West.” _ This is but a repetition of many similar scenes that we, and others, have witnessed during the past few years; ‘and such spectacles will be still more frequently » unless something is done to retrieve our fall- en fortunes at home. “ If.there be any one consummation, “ devoutly to be wished,” in our policy, it is that our young men should remain-at home, and not abandon their native State.— From ihe early settlement of North Carolina, the great drain upon her prosperity has been the spirit of emigra- tion, which has so prejudicially affected all the States of the South. Her sons hitherto neglected (if we must say it) by an unparental government, have wended their way; by hundreda upon hundreds, from the land of their ts—that land, too, to make it a paradise, wanting nothing but a market—to bury their bones in the land of strangers, We firmly believe that this emigration is caused by the laggard policy of our people on the sub- ject of Internal Improvement ; for man is not prone, by nature, to desert the home of his affections. While other States are digesting and carrying out magnificent systems of Interna! Improvement, blessing their citi- zena with bountiful means of happiness and wealth, we we fold our arms in indifference, permit our citizens to get poorer and poorer, and our State lower and lower. among the foremost in this confederacy of States, when they commenced together their free and i nt career, she now classes among the most back ward.’ Tuere is much fores in the above remarks of the Raleigh Register. Only two lines of public policy are open for any State to pursue. One is, the General Im- provement policy, which retains all the capital, talent, enterprise and laborers that the State possesses within its limits; and the other is, the general detoriorating poliey, which drives capital, talent, enterprise and labor- ers beyond the blighting influence of its rule. It is not in the elements of civilized communities to stand stone still—neither advance nor recede. Every Commonwealth must, by an overruling law of its or- ganization, grow in strength or grow in weakness, as time advances. These silent changes are often invisi- bles and ig is only by comparing the relative conditions as to population, agricultural and internal improvements, common, schoojs, public libraries, the mechanical arts and fural embellishments of two or more States, after } of ten or twenty years, that one can discover the extent and true character of theee inevitable muta- tions. We may close our eycs against unpleasant truths and ‘prospects ; we may deny the existence; but such & course neither abates one jot or tittle of the facts, nor serves any other purpose than to prolong and aggravate the evils as they exist. An intelligent, common sense méij, Who Wishes to better his condition, is always ready y in a non-improving, a deteriorating | to tell his: county } end to invest his money and employ his servants in 4° rising, and improving community. Lat a State foolishly bury its one talent in the sand, and'as of oid, God will take it away from her. If a Commonwealth would not lose “that which she hath,” the soust-learn to make a good use of all the meansthat a bountiful Providence has placed within he¥ reach. “Inthe sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread all the days of thy life,” is a command to be industrious fot enme useful purpose, which applies to every descend- antof Adam.

Mr. Lemay: Looking n agriculture as the most uselul, if- fot the most honorable pur- suit of men} and looking with deep concern on the neglect which it has hitherto suffered in our State, I deem it an act of patriotism in him who endeavors to place it in the conspicuous station to which it is justly entitled. Having no other end in view than that of a sincere de- sire to call forth the resources of my beloved and native State, and to iuduce others more gifted than myself to direct their attention tu the same end, I send you this poor communiertion ; for which, if it shall benefit only a single hu- man being, I shall be amply repaid—and if it shall induce others to try the experiments, and make them know through the medium of your useful Journal, | shall not have labored in vain. And, first, as regards the Artichoke: It is not more than three years ago that I first heard of the Jerusalem artichoke, and having seen it mentioned in terms of approbation in various agricultural publications, [ became desirious to procure the seed, but felt at a loss where to apply for it. It at length occurred to me that Mr. Weller of Halifax, a gentleman well known asa practical and experimental farmer and a valuable contributor to the agricultural papers of the day, would be the most likely to have the article. I accordingly addressed to him a letter in the winter of 1847, making the ingni- ry. He replied he could with pleasure supply me, and sent me per rail road 7 bushels.— With this I planted about an acre and a half in a sandy soil such as would yield under the best cultivation about 10 bushels “of corn per acre. husbels to the acre. have been far superior to mine (which was not manured) as afier fullowing his directions in yielded about 650, which [ look upon as a mighty increase, considering the poverty of the | soil. perfectly—being rather to be sure, a choice sput, intending it for seed, the produce was 35 bushels. My hogs were turned on the residue. fattening hogs and has saved me this year at erwise given to them, I have been in the hah. it of feeding them with corn throughout the year, with w short respite, when in the fall they are turned in to glean the pea nut field. from Ist Nov. to the 16th Dec. and about 30 od I was accustomed to give them as much corn as they could eat. the hogs, I flushed up the ground late in Feb- them like potatoe sprouts. I esteem them as a real treasure to the farmer in this southern country, where we experience such difficulties in raising pork. Now for Irish potatoes. ticle for seed, heing dependent on the North, and even in Wilmington, so accessible to a northern market,'they seldom cost less than $1.50 to $2 per bushel about the planting sea. son. will venture largely into the culture. To les. tum. I was this year bedding my sweet pota- toes afler a process I had somewhere seen when it occured to me as I was about planting atthe same time Irish potatoes that I would subject a small portion of them to the same ex- periment. Having made a hot bed, by placing stable manure at the bottom, 1 foot thick, and covered it with two or three inches of mould, I placed on it the potatoes very near each other but not in contact, some cut in two, others whole, and covered them in with two or three inches of mould, using in this manner about balfa bushel or three pecks. a fortnight sooner than the tubers planted in the usual way. Early in the present month, I drew the sprouts, which were from four to six inches high, presenting a dense mass, and set them in drills, planting about the tenth of an acre, slill leaving many in the bed; the roots were fine when detached from the potatoe, and look healthy and flourishing in their new abode: But to return to statistics—tke saving as to cost is immense ; five hushels, I have no doubt, pre- pared this way is sufficient and more than suf. between 5 bushels and 20, to use a very classi- | the cost from 30 to 40 dollars per acre to 6 or | 8—only observing that the Irish potatoe is a more valuable crop with us than it has been been in the habit of planting from 5 to 6 bar. rels per year, turnip culture, [ should have failed this year had it not been tor perseverance. I planted about § acre of Ruta baga and 4 do of common white turnip the last week in July, then follow. ed along drought, so that they came up sparse. ly, and, the drought continuing, all died.— Having a smart shower inthe last week in Au. gust, I sowed again; but, meeting with the same disaster, they all died again, I now gave over all idea of making turnips that year, but about the latter part of September, having had a very pretty season, and the weather contin. ving warm, [ thought I would try again at the risk of being off by winter. The land was laid off in deep furrows, with a trench plow and filled up with stable manure, making beds about 3 feet apart. Onthese [ sowed my turn. ips in shallow drills—they came up finely, but the early frost checked them at first. The ruta baga not succeeding well; but the white turnips grew loxuriantly all the winter. I used them and fed them away until March. I think the hot bed was the cause of their standing the winter so well. Now, my dear sir, all this will he thought to publish an agricultural paper in the State, ; and if all our farmers hold back for fear of he. ing laughed at, where are you to get contribu. lors? and who so proper to contribute? and how are we to know anything of one another as we have no agricultural societies? I wish to see our people exercising their minds on something more available than politics, the all absorbing subject, which at best leads only to idleness. ‘There are in our State su. pernumeraries at the Bar, the faculty of physic and mercantile avocations, all to be sure very reputable callings—and more supernumeraries in the unprofitable walks of politics.

It is writ- ten if a clear, plain style,-it gives us good sound practical sense, and the results of expe- rience. We hope our farmers will generally follow the example of Mr. Jones, and give us their plans and views. The mode of planting the Irish potatoe tried by Mr. J. will, if it suc. ceeds well, be an important discovery ; but, if our eastern brethren will lend a hand and help the central rail road, our up country farmers can send them as fine Irish potatoes for seed, or for eating, in any quantities, as are raised any where in the world, fur haif the cost of the Northern potatoes. i > ¥ A Bold Stroke for a Husband.—A worthy farmer, living in a country village in France, and a widower, as recently aroused at midnight by the barking of a dog. On endeavoring to quiet the dog, he found him unusually agitated, whereupon the farmer took his gun and ran out to look into the cause. Allat once he saw a hor. rid phantom rise up behind the hedye clothed ina white sheet. He turned quite pale, and his limbs shook with dismay. At length he | picked up sufficient courage to ejaculate— | “If you are from Heaven, speak! If from | the devil, vanish!” * Wretch !” exclaimed the phantom, “I am | your deceased wife, come from the grave to warn you not to marry Marie ,to whom you are making love. She is unworthy of my bed. The only woman to succeed me is Hen- rietta B . Marry her, or persecution and eternal torment shall be your portion.” This strange address from the goblin, in. _ stead of dismaying the farmer, restored his cour- age. He accordingliy rushed on his ghastly | visitor and stripped off the sheet, when he dis. covered the fair Henrietta B » The farmer | admiring the girl’s trick, hadthe bans publish. | ed for his marriage with her. Such things as these do not happen only in | France. At least, there are some bold efforts _made in the same way in this country—as for instance, the following case reported in the N. Orleans Picayune : By means of forged paper to the amount of , $10,000, Miss Elise Clement, an attractive | young French girl who arrived a few months | since, eontrived to win the attentions of Mr. |Gallot, a prosperous dry goods dealer, worth himself $25,000. They were married on the 18th and that morning the happy pair left ona tour for the North—the fortunate husband leav- _ing his bride’s certificate of deposite for the $10,000 from Ant. Michoud with a friend to draw the money and remit to him by draft on New York. _nouaced the paper a sheer fabrication! But the marriage is valid, and the happy groom is | now enjoying the honeymoon on the wing, | dreaming of his receipts in New York. FOR THE SCAFFOLD.

The following from the Annapolis Re- publican, certainly looks bad for Mary- land: | “There are at this time no less than eight persons, all males, confined in dif- ferent prisons of this state to await their trial on the charge of murder. It would appear from this that the Devil has been busier in Maryland within the last two or three months than the catalogue of _capital crimes shew him to bave been at _any former period since the existence of the colonial government, when the pun- _ishment of death was inflicted for trivial | offences. “ His Excellency, the Governor, has not yet fixed on a day for the execution of _Conrad Vintor, who was last week sen- _tenced to be hung by Baltimore County | Court, for the murder of Mrs. Cooper, a- | bout a year since.” A TRAGEDY. | A heart-rending event is described in the | Louisville Journal as having occurred near | Big-hone Spring, Boone county, Ky., about | midnight on the 14th ult.

HE Subscriber, who owns one of the most valua- ble Water Powers in the Southern country, and having been struggling for several years to put it to work, and failing in success to the extent of his wisties, takes this method of soliciting aid. He wants Capita. THE EAGLE MILLS, as this place is called, is situated on Hunting Creek, in Iredell county, 28 miles west of Salisbury. It is, with- out doubt, one of the finest natural sites for Factories to be found. There is power sufficient to drive any num- ber of mills, or any amount of machinery. All who have seen it have pronounced it one of the first class,— a never-failing stream, and remarkable for its purity, it is adapted to the manufacture of paper, to calico print- ing, bleaching, &c. Situated in the neighborhood of several operating Cotton Factories, in a healthy, pro- ductive, thriving region of country; within easy access to Salisbury, through which the great Central Rail Road is to pass, with much of the necessary labor towards the improvement of the place already done, it possesses ad- vantages rarely to be met with. The subscriber’s efforts to improve this valuable site, have resulted in the completion of a never yielding dam, a Saw Mill, in active operation, a Grist Mill, soon to be put in motion, and the commencement of a building 28 by 75 feet, designed for a Factory, about half finished. He wishes to push forward his improvements. To do this a handsome capital will be required, to obtain which he offers permanent surities. If he should not get it before the close of Spring, this valuable property, with the improvements, will then be fersale. Persons wish- ing to supply him with capital, or to purchase, will ad- dress him at Eagle Mills, Iredell county, N. C. ANDREW BAGGARLY. Feb. 22, 1849—42:tf Eagle Mills for Sale.

Since the arrival of Mr. Senator Benton at St. Louis he has published an Appeal to the People of Missouri. which we copy from the St. Louis Republican as follows : To the People of Missouri. The General Assembly of our State, at its | late session, adopted certain resolutions on the | subject of slavery, and gave me instructions to obey them. From this command I appeal to the People of Missouri—the whole body of the | People—and, if they confirm the instructions, I | shall give them an opportunity to find a Senator ‘to earry their will into effect, as I cannot do | any thing to dissolve this Union, or to array ne-hall of it against the other. | J} do not admit a dissolusion of the Union to be a remedy, to be prescribed by statesmen, for the disease of the body politic, any more ‘than I admit death or suicide to be a remedy ‘to be prescribed by physicians for the disease of the natural body. Cure and not not kill, is the only remedy which my mind can contem.- | plate in either case. | [think it probable, from what I observe, that there are many citizens—good friends to the ‘harmony and ability of this Union—who do | not see the Missouri instructions and their pro- ‘totype, the Calhoun address, in the same light | that I see it, and in the light to which it is seen | by others who best understand it. For the in- | formation of such citizens, and to let them see | the next step in this movement, and where it is intended to end, I herewith subjoin a copy | of the Accomac resolutions, lately adopted in | that county of Virginia, and fully endorsed by the Richmond Enquirer as the voice of the South. Ido not produce these resolutions for the purpose of arraigning them; on the contra. ‘ry, I see something in them to admire, as be- ing bold and open, and to the true interpreta. ‘tion and legitimate sequence of the Calhoun movement. I consider the Calhoun address and its offspring, the Missouri instructions, as fundamentally wrong ; but, to those who think them right, the Accomac resolutions in Missou- ri. I produce them to enable the people of Mis. souri to see what it is to which their Legisla- ture would commit the State, and whatit is they have instructed me to do. I appeal from these instructions to the Peo- ple of Missouri—the whole body of the People —and in due time will give my reasons for do- ing so. It is a question above party, and goes to the whole people. In that point of view the Accomac resolutions present it, and present | it truly, andI shall do the same. I shall abide the _ decision of the whole people, and nothing less. | Respectfully, | THOMAS H. BENTON. ' Sr. Lours, May 9, 1849.

The central highway is the grand national object, and the first months of the nest session of Con- gress is the time to try the question of ifs loca- tion and construction. So far as my efforts can go this question shall then be decided ; but to enable me to work with bope and heart I must have health and backing ; I must be seconded by the movement and backed by the power of the people. St. Louis has spoken ; the Missouri Legislature has spoken; some cities have spoken on the line east; but once ‘The massive rock is not split nor the royal oak felled by one lick. Still less is Congress moved by one voice. To be felt there many voices must concur and continue. To gain attention for the central highway there the central continent must send forth its voice from all its recesses, from the borders of Mis- souri to the shores of the Atlantic. Respectfully, gentlemen, your obliged fellow-citizen, THOMAS H. BENTON. will not do. The St. Republican of the 10th, remarking “The ground taken by Senator Benton, in his appeal, exhibits the fact that the Barnburn- ers in this State were right, and their ene- mies wrong, as to the opinions of Col. Benton on this question. It settles the question that he will not regard the proposition to prevent the introduction of slavery into New Mexico and California as justifying him, as a Senator, or as justifying the Southern States of the Un- ion, in any attempt to dissolve the Union of these States. It settles the question that he re- gards the passage of the Missouri resolutions as a direct censure upon him, although their advocates in that body, and in county assem- blages, have disclaimed any such purpose ; and he distinctly tells the people that they may be- gin to look out for some other representative if they persist in the exaction of such terms from him. It places the Barnburners upon high ground, and they will now see how far their opponents—of Col. Benton—will persist in their denunciations of the last Legislature and Col. Benton, on which question he appeals to the pleple.” Col. Benton is for the Union, and scouts the | idea that, because the privilege to introduce | slaves into free Territories may be denied, this | glorious Republic must be dissolved and de. | stroyed! Congress, under every Administra. tion, from Washington to Polk, has asserted | the policy of prohibiting slavery in territories | of the United States; and it is too late in the day now for any section or any faction to dis- | pute the right.

They will doubtless speak for them- selves in relation to this matter.—In the mean time we cannot conceive of any better plan than for the people to go on and hold a Convention. They have aright to say whether they will be represented by a Whig or a democrat; and we think they have a right to adopt such measures party. If the three Whig candidates now in the field continue to run ; the result is manifest to our mind: Green W. Caldwell will be elected—and a Whig District, with a majority of thirteen hundred votes gency ought, by all means, to be provided against.

BY ELLWOOD FISHER. The State of Ohio, a new State and an agricultural one, and very prosperous, may be presumed to enjoy a tolerable e- qual distribution of property. There are | in this State, by the last assessment, about fifty thousand pleasure carriages, and the possession of one of these is an indication of a comfortable condition of a family.— In Virginia there were in 1847, over 19,- 000 ; and that in a white population about one third as great as ours is now. This proves that the degree of comfort which such establishments indicate, is more dif- fused in Virginia thanin Ohio. The pro- portion of dwellings built in a year, is another indication of comfort and the de- gree of its diffusion among a people.— According to the returns of the marshals in 1840, Massachusetts, whose white pop- ulation is nearly the same with that of Virginia, built 324 brick houses in that year. Virginia built 402, or nearly one- fourth more. Massachusetts built 1249 wooden houses the same year; Virginia built 2604, or more than double. The cost of the houses in Massachusetts was $2,767,134 ; in Virginia, only $1,367,393, or about half. Now if this excess in the cost of the houses of Massachusetts be attributable to the excess of business or manufacturing structures among them, it swells the proportion of dwellings built in Virginia, and thus displays a still greater progress in comfort among the population of the latter. But if the excess of cost in Massachusetts is owing to the superior style of her dwellings, it proves, since the number is so much less, a still greater in- equality of property. the houses built in New York the same year with those in Virginia, exhibits sim. ilar results. And I wilPadd that the same thing is true, by the comparison between Virginia and Ohio, although one is consi- | dered the most declining, the other the most advancing State in the Union; one supposed to be the most unequal in the distribution of property, the other the re- verse. In 1840 Ohio built 970 brick and | 2764 wooden houses, at a cost of $3,776,- | | 823. Thus, whilst we had twice the | white population, we built only a fourth more of houses. Kentucky, also, as well _as Virginia, surpassed Ohio in this respect. , 1840, Kentucky built 485 brick and 1757 wood- | 1845, en houses; thus with only 40 per cent of | | Ohio’s white population, she built 75 per | Decrease, _cent of the number of houses Ohio did.— | |The fact is that Virginia and Kentucky constructed in that year, more buildings in proportion to their whole population, | (CG In another poten A he founda | black and white, than Ohio and Massa- ‘correspondence betwen Mr. Little and | a number of gentlemen ; whigs of Un. ion County,on the subject of a District | Mr. Little, it will be seen, | : ; : is willing to submit his claims to such a_ superficial observers, or newspaper item. convention, and stand by its decision.— , y ‘labors of the officers of government, who | | | think now, that if any thing can be) shown by facts, 1 have demonstrated the | ‘superior wealth of the people of the South chusetts.

But in relation to the af- fairs of this world at least, I ask with the provisions produced in any State are de signed for domestic consumption, as the cost of transporting them to the dwellings of an agricultural people is too great to- Hence the products of such a people afford a good criterion of the character of their food.— The stock of neat cattle in New York was 1.911,244; in Virginia it was 1,024,148, the proportion of Virginia being still the greatest. In sheep alone was New York better off, having 5,118,777, whilst Vir- ginia had 1,293,772, which, however, is only about 150,000 less than her share.— | admit of their importation.

So ; So that if it be said that New York is an importer of such | provisions, and therefore consumes more than her production indieates, what is to | to be said of Ohio which exports them all. | the Senate, of animal food they | is a well establish- | proportion. For when it is considered that the hog.is killed for food at the age of 18 months or two years, and neat eat- tle at 5 or 6 years, it will appear that the excess of animal food in Virginia or Ken- tucky over New York or Ohio is quite large—is quite large, indeed, even if we include the slave as well as the free pop- ulation of the former States. A reference to the quantity of bread- stuffs and other vegetable food, leads to the same conclusion. Virginia is the larg- est producer of wheat, the finest and cost- liest material of bread, of any other State, according to her popalation. Her crop of 1840 was 10,109,716 bushels; that of New York was only 12,286,418 ; of Ohio 16,571,661. All these are wheat export- ing, as well as wheat consuming States, but still the great mass of that article must be consumed in the respective States of its production. In proportion to her white population, Virginia produces 25 per cent. of wheat more than New York. How is the deficiency supplied in New York? Not by importation, but by the substitution of potatoes, that cheapest ar- ticle of vegetable food, to which the mis- fortunes or improvidence of Ireland have driven her. New York, instead of pro- ducing fer proportion of wheat with Vir- | ginia, which would be thirty five millions _of bushels instead of twelve, produces an- nually thirty millions of bushels of pota- toes ; and it is remarkable that Virginia, with nearly half a million of slaves, in- stead of resorting to this cheap food for them, produces only about three millions of bushels of potatoes, and provides her negroes with corn, of which her. annual crop is about 344 millions of bushels, and ' which is a much more costly and substan- tial article of food. The tendency man- ifested by New York to prefer the culti- vation of the cheapest, but the more pre- carious and less nourishing article of ve- getable food, is also distinctly visible to all the Northern States, and is a fact which always deserves to be considered in any estimate of their present and future comfort. In Massachusetts agriculture is rapidly declining ; particularly the pro- duction of the finer sorts of breadstuffs,— a tact which is admitted and lamented by one of her leading papers—the Boston Atlas.

But the articles they do produce, and their proportions to each | other, indicate the quality of food at least of the agricultural population. appears that the farmers of Massachusetts consume but little wheat bread, and usc rye, Indian corn and potatoes as substi- tutes. over those of the North in proportion to their respective numbers; and this by comparing the less prosperous of the South with the most flourishing of the North.— , And, I think 1 have shown the South to be the most fortunate in the distribution or equalization of wealth, as well as in its acquisition. At allevents,I have rescued the controversy between the two sections, | from the control of bold assertion and slip- | shod declamation, and confided it to the age of argument and document. There are some who sneer at statisties and assert that anything can be prove answered with facts. nothing but collections of facts.

Ofte reason is, that agricultare is: more -—p ductive’ or multiplying than the its products are the principal and the in dispensable articles of human subsistence, — > s and are obtained with Jess of tuman la- bor and skill than the others.

In this country, the contagious character of the disease is universally believed ; and the vio- lent measures which have been taken patients, have been in many instances, disgraceful. It is many years since a poor wagoner on the highway, in Georgia, was known to have the small pox. Some courageous fellow threw down a fence through which he drove toa barn into which he entered, where he lay neglected and died—without, so far as I bave heard, the presence of a human soul. His burial was as savage as his treatment; a torch was applied is incessant, because almost every object ty the barn and it was burned down.

It is true that the average wealth of the inhabitants of cities is gen- erally greater than that of the rest of the people in the State, and almost equals that of prosperous agricultural States.— But this wealth is not the product of city employments. It results from the influx into the city of persons who have become rich in the country, and who resort to the cities because they cannot carry on agri- ral operations extensively in the | country in the free States. This results from the high price of agricultural labor in the free States, and its irregularity.— An industrious laborer on a farm, soon acqgires enough money to buy a small tract of public land, and emigrates to it. Hence a farmer who acquires wealth in these States, & finds it difficult toextend his operations in the country, resorts to com- mercial operations and settles in town.— Even those who would prefer remaining in the country, and yet desire to enjoy their fortunes in social intercourse, find it | difficult to spend their leisure pleasantly in the neighborhood, from the want of as | sociates of equal means, the great mass | being the occupants of small farms, with- | out servants, and therefore lack the means | | proceeding. soap and water; and nothing is infected ex. cept by the actual application of the matter of swnall pox.

These should remain | at home near the patient. Nor is it necessary | to destroy the clothing of patients or attendants. | All are rendered clean by the ordinary opera- tion of soap and water.

The suggestion most common. | ly relied on, is an exchange of clothing on en. | lering, and putting them off on leaving. Such | clothing is generally made loose and flowing | and more apt, than ordinary raiment to come | in contact with the matter of small pox. Iam) decidedly of the opinion, that such arrange. | ments increase rather than diminish the dan. | ger. The physician should carefully avoid coming in contact with anything in the room. He can perform his duty without any contact except the hand; and this he should always take the greatest care to cleanse before leaving the room. At the door, a change of shoes for a pair that should never leave the place, will be prudent; and these are all the precau- of performing the rites of hospitality, with- out a derangement of their dumestic sys- | tions I have found it necessary to use.

Lexincroy, May 28th, 1849, As the time approaches for holding: the Central Rail Road meeting in Salisbury, the 14th of June, it is frequently asked what will then be done to ensure the suc- cess of this enterprise? . It isindeed diffi- cult to answer this inquiry with certainty, when so much apathy and indifference exist on the subject of Internal Improve- ments in North Carolina. Such, howev- er, would not be the state of feeling, if our responsible men in the public and pri- vate relations of life, would be as studi- ous to inform and direct pablic sentiment aright in a wise and judicious system of State policy as they are desirous to direct and control the Federal Government in its national affairs. The attention of our cit- izens has been so long diverted from home that it is difficult to recall it. And again, a few unwise and impractical experi- ments have been made, and instead of learning wisdom from these and making wise and more judicious efforts in future as individuals do in their efforts to recov- er lost fortunesjand misspent time, many are disposed to let the State remain in a dormant and inactive condition, alike la- mentable to her and them. Hence it is difficult, I say, to predict what action it is desirable should or will be taken at. this, meeting. Iwill submit a few thoughts and suggestions which occur to me—per- | haps in common with others—which if, favorably considered and adopted—I think | will facilitate, if not ensure success, of | this great enterprise. I take it for grant- | ed that the Central Rail Road ought and | must be built by a union of State and in- | dividual enterprise, and that the counties | on the route feel disposed if they have the available ways and means to construct it; and that the suspense which now ex- | ists proceeds from some difficulty, either | real or supposed, in the charter of said | Road. And having given this subject | that degree of mature and critical exam- ination which its importance demands, and called to my assistance the opinions of others, I think I feel warranted in say- ing that the difficulty of its success is more | imaginary than real—or rather more tech- nical and literal than legal and practical | in the construction put uponit. The 36th | section of said charter says, in substance, | that whenever “ $500,000 of the stock of this Road is taken awd actually paid by | individuals, that the Treasurer shall cer- | tify the same to the Board of Internal. Im- provements, and that they shall subscribe ‘on bebalf of the State $2,000,000, one | oO sel | State of their birth and affections—to fourth to be paid when the work is com- menced and one fourth every six months | until the Road is completed—individuals | doing the same in proportion.” I take it | for granted, in construing this clause of the charter which presents a supposed difficulty to the minds of many from the | conclusion which they have come to, that | the actual gold and silver must be paidin | before the benefits of the charter can be | | secured—that it was the intention of those | who passed it that the State should be as- | sured—but that in other respects such a | liberal and beneficial construction should | be placed upon it as to secure to the State | and individuals its benefits, and not to de- | feat them by a strict and technical con-. struction of it. Such, I believe, is the | true rule of construction which governs. | the Supreme Court—that in construing public and private charters—the latter | | are never extended beyond their words or | | a necessary implication from them—but | | the former whichare remedial charters are |to be construed so as to advance the in- | tention of the Legislature. And I con.

Bat I do not feel disposed to continue an argument on such an important subject unless there should be an occasion todo so. The mag- nitude and favorable bearings of this en- terprise are too manifest, and if it can en- list its friends in active exertion it can succeed, and better things in future may be expected of those who are now hostile to it. Having submitted, as] humbly and confidently conceive, a true and legal con- struction of the 36th section of the char- ter, subject nevertheless to be overruled in case I am mistaken, I will next suppose it to be adopted. In this case it is desir- able that all the friends of the Central Rail Road, from Wilmington to Charlotte, who expect to take Stock in.it. should be present in Salisbury. And especially, that all its active, intelligent and patriot- | ic friends should attend, and consult and devise ways and means to advance this great work. No one should stay away for a frivolous excuse, or to make a few more dollars or tosave a small fraction of time. Citizens of North Carolina, are you subserving her best interests in remaining at home inactive and inattentive to the improvement of the land you live in ?— Are you philanthrophists when you are | making no efforts to improve the means | of subsistence and comfort for each other ? Are you patriots when seeing each suc: | cessive year a tide of immigration passing | from your State from impoverished lands and poor market facilities, and wending their way to the wilds of the distant far | West, when it is in your power and means to prevent it? Are you improving the genius & talents committed to your charge in not devising ways and means to “ sub- J take | ‘s a ‘42 . ie j re 8 Se B ale 7 ba fe would h be ‘the case, then the-Directors onthe part of the State Have i ‘their duty in let- ling then fhe Fatimaten a the Ln. gineer, w experience anc nent in sach matters,shoald be respected. And individuals would certainly make little in peculating upon the State when they have so much at stake in the Road. It would not be the hope of profit save by se. curing their stock by labor, and the benefits of the Road when completed, that they would en- ter. into. the proposed: arrangement. Having thus designated a proposed route which it will be in the power, to a considerable extent, of those present, in future to fix and make perma. nent, let a General Agent of distinguished abil. ity and extensive information in Rail Road sta. tistics, and their bearings on domestic and for. eign industry, trade and relations, with a com. petent salary to devote his whole time and tal- ents to this Road, in opening re MTPN, _ and soliciting subseriptions from abroad—ap. | pointing, holding and addressing meetings in | the State, and also soliciting subscriptions, as. | respective counties, without salaries, and - | porting tothe General Agent from time to tim | be selected. If then, these suggestions and views aredeemed worthy of consideration, and shall meet withacceptance, if no better substitute is proposed and adopted, I can see no reason why the success of the Ct. R. Road will not be fixed -andensured. In the event that a similar plan to this is not adopted, [ insist that the charter is of too muth importance to be varied, It contem. plates the construction of a public work em. phatically State in its character and effects— directly and indirectly benefitting the whole State.

If they refuse to unite with and assist us in se- _ curing this charter—and it should fail, we will, in self-defence, be a separate people in interest and feeling, and some sectional enterprise will alienate and sever us forever from Eastern Car. olina.

Huger presided, and in his opening -—- /speech detailed “ the long list of grievan- ces inflicted upon the South, the breaches of the Constitution, and the necessity for redress on the part of the South.” Various propositions were submitted to the Con- vention, among them one recommending /non-intercourse ; another containing an _exposition of principles, and re-affirming | the Virginia resolutions of 1798; and an- | other requesting the Governor to convene ‘the Legislature in case of the passage of the Wilmot proviso or the abolition of slavery inthe District of Columbia. We 'do not see that any one thought of Mr. Venable’s idea of repudiating honest debts Mr Ellmore, from a Committee of 21 to whom all these matters were referred, re- / ported resolutions to appoint a Central Committee of Vigilance and Safety; ap- proving of Mr. Calboun’s Southern Ad- dress; and requesting the Governor to call the Legislature together in case of the above contingency. ‘These were adopt- | ed, of course, and Messrs. Ellmore, Gads- _den, Hampton, Pickens, and McCord were | appointed the Committee. The Conven- tion then adjourned, more remarkable for what it did not do, than for what it did.

OUR SUPERIOR COURT continued in session until half-past eleven o'clock, Saturday night, having been occupied for thegwo days in the trial of the case of the State vs. C. B. V er, on the charge of false imprisonment and an asea and battery, committed against Isaac Lyerly, in Oc der, 1842. In this case there was a mistrial. On Thursday, the slave Jog, property of Richmond Bailey, of Davie county, charged of committing grap larceny, was brought before the Court and submitted its judgment. He was sentenced to receive thirty-nim lashes ; and his master enjoined to remove him beyoal the limits of the State. Joun Brooxs,—of Davidson county, we believe—ws found guilty of passing counterfeit money, and Ww sentenced to the pillory for one hour. “ PAUPER BRATS ”—An article under the abore caption, copied into the Republican by our foreman, de ring our absence, has excited the ire of our friends of the Salisbury Watchman. That paper says, that it contaims a slanderous imputation against the Whigs as 4 party.

We welcome the fair editress into our rank, with all our heart. Wehave long wanted the presence of a la- dy in the corps, to soften the asperities which beset the path and harden the character of political editors, ren- dering them but too often insensible to the comities of life. Our fair sister will, we have no doubt, become the pet of the whole fraternity. All will unite in protect- ing her, no matter how often they indulge in the sport of tearing out each other's eyes. Our new found sister, we are happy to learn, like the majority of the better sex, is a genuine Whig.

A friend who has entered into the case - with honorable and manly feelings hands | us the following brief statement of the cir- cumstances: The invalid reached here on Friday | night in the train from Philadelphia in the last stages of consumption, having travell- | ed by railway from Harrisbarg that day. | He had been absent from home pursuing | his business some years and finding that the sands of life were well nigh run, was | striving to reach home to “see his mother | before he died.” cab and driven tothe City Hotel, one of | the drivers (Mr. Baldwin.) supporting him | in bis arms and occasionally * placing his hand to his face to feel if he was cold.”— Arrived at the Hotel, the landlord came to the door and declined receiving him fear- ing the cholera. “You know my mother | said the invalid,” and Iam notsick with the | cholera, but with consumption.” He was , stil refused.

NAUVOO TEMPLE. The Oquawka Spectator says, “ we have stated that the walls of this edifice have been purchased by Mons. “Cabet for the use of his association of French Com- imunisis. We learn from a gentleman who resides in Nauvoo that Cabet paid $3,000 for the Temple, and Aysenal, together with about eleven acres of ground— the titlabeing vested solely in Mons. Cabet. He has édifimericed rebuilding the Temple, and employs the fiber of three hundred men upon the work. Much of the interest that has hitherto attached to this edifice will now be disputed, for it will no longer wear the proud name of “Temple,” but in future it will be known as the. ““ Monster Boarding House.” The basement story isto beJaid off into kitchens, the first floor will be con- werted-into a dining room capable of accommodating a persons, and the remainder of the building will be fitted up for school rooms, offices, and sleeping apartments for five hundred people.

BY ELLWOOD FISHER. [ CONTINUED. ] Bat the most disastrous and appalling consequences of city avocations, is the waste of human life. Inthecity of New York, the deaths last year exceeded 14,- 000, or one person out of every twenty- eight; and it was a year of no uncom. mon mortality for that place. The great mortality of the eastern cities is supposed to belong chiefly to the emigrant popula- tion. But this is not the case. In 1836, when the deaths were 8009 in New York, only a little over one-fourth were foreign; and that must have been about the pro- portion of that population. In 1847 the deaths in the city of New York were 15,- 788, of whem only 5,412 were foreigners, | although the mortality of that year was increased by the ship fever, which was | very fatal toemigrants. The deaths week before Jast were 236, of which 108, or more than one third were foreign, and the proportion of that population is now much more than one third. The mortality of New York is much greater than it seems; because being so largely emigrant from the interior and from abroad, the propor- tion of adults in her population is much greater than ordinary, and among adults mortality is not near so great as among children. New York has 50,000 children less than her share. In the last twenty years the population of New York has nearly doubled, but its mortality has nearly trebled. According to an official statement of the duration of human life in the several avocations in Massachusetts in 1847, it appears that the average of Agriculturalists is 64.14 years. Merchants, 49.20 « Mechanics, 46.45 “ Laborers, 46.73 * This is the average life time in the sev- eral occupations beginning at 20 years. According to this, the three avocations of city life, merchants, mechanics and labor- ers, average about 46} years, whilst far- mers live more than 644 years, or one third longer! This enormous, and I had almost said atrocious destruction of bu- man life, which is continually going on in towns and cities, is enough of itself toac- count for the superior progress of agri- culture in wealth. The loss of so large a proportion of time, in adult years, the ex- of business, make an aggregate of itself so the people. The division of land for cul- tivation into very small tracts is destruc- tive of its value. The soil of France is, on an average, of unusual fertility, and its climate so genial as to be favorable to a great variety of productiveness. Yet there, with a dense population of its own, and in the neighborhood of Great Britain, with its mighty cities, the greatest mar- ket in the world, the average value of land is only five or six dollars per acre— is less than in Virginia. In England the average size of tracts held by the several sorts of tenure, is about 150 acres, which is about as small as can be made profita- ble ; as small as is compatible with the due rotation of crops, a judicious variety of stock, and the ptompt adoption of im- provements in culture and utensils. In France the owner of a three or four acre farm, worth only twenty five dollars, can- not of course afford to buy an improved plough—much less can the renter of such a tract in Ireland. It would cost more than the whole cropis worth. According: ly a large proportion of French and Irish tillage is performed with the spade, at a great expense of manual labor ; and ac- cordingly, it is in England chiefly, where the tracts are large, that the modern im- provementsin agriculture have been made —and there the soil is more productive | the North only 178,275. This ix about 97,000 less than the proportion the North ought to have, to equal the South. Bat when we consider that the foreign popu- lation settles almost exclusively in the Northern States, and contains much more than its proportion of males, it is appa- rent that the deficit of the North in male population is much larger. Now the vi- ces of civilized society affect males chief- ly, young men and boys, far more than any other. And if it were true that the Soath is more immoral than the North, it would appear in the deficit of male pop- ven: Bat the reverse seems to be the act. The explanation of this result is to be found in the same circumstances that de- termine the relative wealth of the two sections. The South is rural in residence and habits. It does not present the temp- tation or the opportunity for sensual grat- ification to be found in the city life. Itis the cities that the passions and appetites resort for their carnival. The theatre, the gaming house, the drinking house, and places of still more abandoned character abound in them, and to these the dissipa- ted youth goes forth at night, from home, along the high road to ruin. In the fam- ily of the Southern planter or farmer, al- though wine may be drank and cards and profitable. That some Virginians, | played, all is done at home, under paren- instead of adopting some of the new meth- ods of preserving and restoring the fer- | | | { ) | | | tility of their lands, choose to emigrate to new States, where the soil is already rich | by nature, and is cheap, results from a | | mere calculation and comparison of the | cost of the two systems. And if it be found more profitable to remove to a new, than to renovate an old soil, it is an evi- dence of thrift, rather than poverty in the emigrant. And of this the superiority of the new South western over the new North- western States, which will appear by a comparison of their property and popala- tion, is ample proof.* But the impression exists that the pop- ulation of the South as a section is really stationary, or is declining. And this be- ing assumed, it is regarded as evidence that the people of the South are migrat- ing, either from dissatisfaction with its institutions or with its progress and pros- pects, or that the vices peeuliar to its sys- tem are unfavorable to the increase of its population—or that all these combine to depopulate her. But all thisis a mistake. If we deduct from the free States the foreign emigra- tion and its offspring, the residue, repre- senting the native population, does not in- dicate so great a natural increase as the present number of people in the Southern States. tal and feminine observation ; and there- fore excess can never go so far. Of course the sons of planters visit the cities, but those in their nzighborhood are trivial in size, and meagre in attractions—those more distant are the more seldom seen.— The ancient poets, who thought that the lower regions were the abode of great and good men, as well as bad. located the | entrance in a remote and solitary place. Thus Homer conducts Ulysses on his visit to the shadesof his brother warrior Greeks, to a thinly settled country of dark skinned people. “ When lo, we reached old Ocean’s utmost bounds, Where rocks control his waves with ever-during mounds. There in a lonely land and gloomy cells, The dusky nation of Cimmeria dwells, There he found the portals of the infer- nal world. So Virgil conducts Eneas to the sombre and solemn forest of the Cu- mean Sybil. But with our improved con- ceptions of the character of that place and its inmates, and the most direct avenues | to approach it, the modern Epic poet who desires to give his hero a view of it, will have to fix the gateway in the heart of a great city, where the vices hold their rev- els. ’Tis there “ The gates of Hell are open night and day, Smooth the descent and easy is the way.” It cannot be said that the excessive mor- tality among the males of the North, is Of the foreign emigrants no register | was kept until 1820.

If it be meant by all this, that South- | ern modes of living are incompatible with a dense population, I admit it and rejoice | in it. So far as the concentration of peo- | ple in towns and cities is concerned, | | have endeavored to show that such a thing is not so mach to be desired. Nor do I think it expedient to promote the augmen- tation of numbers within the territorial | | limits of a State, by a minute subdivision | of farms and plantations among a multi- tude of proprietors ar tenants. Such is too much the tendency in the free States, and in other countries; and it has been found fatal to agricultural improvement. It has resulted in France, in redacing the average size of farms to an area of three or four acres, held under their laws of descent by the distinct proprietors. And ina part of Scotland and in Ireland, tracts of a similar size are held by separate ten- ants.

So then, the | operation of the institutions of this model | State of the North, is to violate the laws | of nature by a separation of the sexes; | to send thousands of her sons away from | their happy condition at home, to encoun: | ter the hardships of the West; to send multitades of others to die by dissipation in her cities, and to place her lonely and deserted women, not in convents, but in factories. | have said that there are about ‘fitty thousand women employed in the fac- tories of Massachusetts. Such is the tes- in 1845. Those who are thus einployed, it is well known, are generally young, un- married women; assacha vocation would be rather incompatible with the domestic duties of wives. Now, according to the ‘census of 1840, there were but 57,000 ' women in that State between the ages ot (17 and 25.

Weill,supposing each a- dult slave holder to have an average family of six, the slave holding population of the South would amount to 1,800,000, which is probably as large a proportion as the land holding population of the North. + It has been suggested that the emigrant population arfive poor, and therefore when included in the average of individual wealth in the North, reduces its rates.— Bat the foreigner is generally adult if he is poor, aud therefore acquires wealth more easily than the native. If, however, the emigrant population be stricken out of the estimate, and the whole property of the North divi- ded among the natives, their proportion will yet be far _land, and Sémi-barbarism and starvation below that of the South. i chusetts, at a time of life that ought to be | sacred to love and courtship, to pleasure | and to hope, to home and to society, are ‘cent forth from the parental roof to labor | for years, confined to an over-heated room, ‘containing a hundred persons each, con- | fined to a space five feet square, for thir- and not permitted to receive a visit from a lover or a relative in the mill, except by the permission of the proprietor’s agent; or at the boarding house, except by the permission of the proprictor’s house keep- er; for such are the the regulations and condition of Lowell.

Those relieved ‘out of the alms-houses, were 9,817, makings total of 28.510, according to the report of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts. And the returns from forty-one towns are omitted. If allowance be made for these, it will be seen that in Massachusetts, one person out of every twenty is a constant or occasional pauper. It thus -appears that in these two States pauperism isad- vancing ten times as rapidly as their wealth or population. It has becatee $0 great, as to include large numbers of able bodied men, who it appears connot; or what is worse, wi!] not earn a subsis ; and if such be the case, what must be the condition of the great mass of people hanging on the verge of pauperism,.b withheld by an honorable pride from ape | plying for public charity. side Now, throughout the greater.

And I have known a populous county in Vire rd have but one. Bad t has generally been supposed t paupers of Massachusetts aud New York are principally foreign emigrants. Bai this is a mistake. In the 5,580 pamper of Massachusetts, in 1836, only 1192 of foreign birth—but little over oné ith, which does not probably exceed the pro- portion then, of that population in the State. In 1845, of 1016 persons admitted into the alms houses of Boston, 490 wete foreign, of -whom 382 were Irish ; butthat was the year of Irish famine. In 1848, 0f = a 18,993 paupets received into the alms houses of Massachusetts, 7,413 were fot. eigners. We do not know what propor- tion of the people of that State are fom eigners ; in Boston there is about one third. When pauperism extends to the class that are able to labor, it is evident that the wages of labor are reduced to the cost of subsistence. And hence the whole class must be subjected to the mela and terrible necessity of workitig, to avoid the poor house, than of : their condition. And the pauper in an alms house is a slave. He works under a master, and receives nothing but a sub- sistence. And there are already in New York and Massachusetts, about one hun- dred thousand persons in this condition ; about an equal number occasionally 80, and they are increasing at the rate of 200 percent., whilst the whole population dees not increase twenty per cent, in ten years. In Cincinnati, the number of paupers, per- manent and occasional, already amounts to two thousand. Whilst the property of the North is thus compelled to contribute to the support..of this great and growing burden, and the labor of the North mast fiot only assis¥'jn its support also, but must work in compe- tition. with it, they are subjected to ago- ther mighty evil, which springs t at least aggravated by the ‘and thatis crime. avi The number of convicts.io4m8 penitentiaries of New York; Aube Sing and Blackwell's Island, is about thousand. In the penitentiary of Vi there are only I11 whites, 89 bl This indicates four times the crime in propor ee to the white popula- timony of the official census of the State ‘tion in New York, as. in Virginia.

According to the fetarns of the Kentucky penitentiary, one half of her convicts for the last ten years, came from the single county in which Louisville, her incipal town, is located—and one, third of the whole number were born in free States.

In the Ken- tucky penitentiary there is not a single woman—in the Virginia, I believe there is none. OO The enormous amount of crime in the Easterff’cities, which alreacy rivals the depravity of those of Europe, has been ascribed to the multitude of European emigrants. But the returns do not sustain this plea. Of, 7,009 persons in the jails | and houses of correction in Massachusetts, | in 1847, 1165 were natives of foreign | countries. This is less than one fourth of | the whole number, and cannot vary ma- terially from the proportions of the foreign and native population in the State. (To be Continued.) LATE FROM ENGLAND.

Since our last the small pox has appear- ed in one more family in the country, north of town, in which it is hoped that the care taken in vaccinating will miti- gate its violence, and modify. The other cases in the country, north, are all report- ed as mild and rapidly recovering. In the country south, the affliction has not yet spread beyond a single family, but we regret to say has proved fatal in two cases. Asenath McAdoo died on Sunday night, and her brother, Dr. Albert Y. Me- Adoo, died on Tuesday morning last. In both these cases the disease is said to have exhibited its most malignant charac- teristics. Five of the black family have since been attacked, but none of them are yet dangerously ill. In town the disease is still confined within the two families noticed in our last. At Mr. C. N. McAdoo’s all are re- covering. At Mr. Underwood’s, the case that first occurred has taken a favorable turn, but other members ‘of the family probably cannot escape the affliction, mod- ified, it is to be hoped. by vaccination.— The most rigorous measures to prevent the spread ofethe contagion continue to be enforced, and we trust will result effectu- ally. We learn that small pox prevails, or has very lately prevailed, at several pla- ces in the southern country—in Georgia, in Kentucky, at or near Murfreesboro’ in this State, and perhaps other places. Is it not probable that some general cause exists favorale to an epidemical spread of the disease ? Vaccination is a wonderful safeguard, and ought to be thoroughly done through- out the country.—Greens. Patriot, June 2.

But one would thinkdt- was -a.sor what hopeless task for. the parti late Administration to get up a cl that ground. Mr. Van Bares and Gen. Jackson, the course pursued by the late President was purely of a partisan and proscriptive char- acter. ~ His political friends may be safe- ly challenged to prodace an-instance of an appointment made on any other-principle ; and with respect to removals, thousands of merritorious and faithful officers in eve- ry branch of the public service were dis- placed on the simple ground of political opinion. This is not denied by the opponents of the present Administration ; but they as- sail iton a different and somewhat fanci- ful ground. Their argument, stripped of its phrases, is this: “It is trae, Gen. Jack- son and his Democratic successors pur- sued a proscriptive course ; they profess- ed to be party men; the country expect- ed no better of them; but Gen. Taylor came into office on higher ground, as the President not of a party, but of the whole People.” The weakness and disingenuousness of this argument we have taken occasion heretofor2 to notice and sufficiently ex- pose. But, as it continues to be put forth, as a sort of forlorn hope, by the Union and its coadjators, we will pay it the ill-de- served respect of a further brief consider- ation. In the first place, then, let us ask, in what way were the generous sentiments avowed by General Taylor in the course of his candidacy met by the partisans of the late Administration?) How did the Union treat them and treat him? From the moment that he became a formidable opponent of their Nominee, was there any | thing too unfriendly or too bitter to be said | of him? litical, and even his military character | held up to reproach and ridicule by these | ay = ¢ Were not his personal, his po- | writers; and the most unscrupulous at- | tempts made, not merely to defeat his" election, but to blast his good name? In this way, by the act of the opposition party and press, the canvass, of necessity, as- | sumed a Whig character, and General | TayLor was chosen by the united and | strenuous efforts of the Whig party, a- | gainst a most violent and remorseless | party opposition. What, then, does the | Union ask? Has it the face to demand —nay, is it so poor spirited as to wish— | to have the officers of trust and confi- | dence under this reviled candidate filled | —still filled—by its friends and co-parti- sans, generally themselves among the noisiest of the revilers? Would it be pos- sible to carry on the Government upon) the principle which the Opposition press | is now selfish and greedy enough to pre- | scribe to the new Administration 7 These Opposition genthemen seem to | forget that many of the removals of which | they complain are required by the very principle on which they are affectedly | condemned. Many, we believe it may | be said most, of the removals which have | been made, are of warm, often violent party men. A pretty pass things are come to, if General Taylor, from a patriotic dis- like of party policy, were compelled to keep in office not merely rank party men, but men whoin the late elections exerted all their official influence, and often in the most unwarrantable manner, to prevent | his election. We have, however, the satisfaction to. believe that the absurd clamor will be as powerless towards those at whom it is aimed as it is rediculous on the part of its authors. The editor of the Union may rest assured that his hollow phrases pro- duce not the slightest effect either on the friends of the Administration or the coun. | ty at large. The people will be gratified to see unscrupulous partisans removed from offices of trust and political influence. When this work is done, they will sustain | the President in giving effect to his gen- erous and patriotic disposition. But they do not wish him to show his dislike of par- ty by keeping violent and proscriptive party men in office ; and as we really feel not a little lurking kindness for our ven. | erable neighbor, we would whisper to him | on this topic, that the American people | have a little common sense, and that if, he wishes the Administration to break down the division walls of party, he had, better set the exumple himself. Let him | abstain from wholesale abuse; let him. retract his unmannerly charges against the President, of “ imbecility” and “ want | of capacity ;” let him give fair play to the | measures of the Administration; and we , will then (as far as depends on our hum- ble selves) see what’ we can do for him- | self and his friends now in office. The country is fully satisfied with the course pursued by President Taylor, and } \ { and the people desire their removal. It | is notorious that the officeholders, as a body, resisted Gen. Taylor's election. The people see no particular reason why they should be retained in office to the exclu- sion of as good and better men who have brought about a change in the Adminis- tration. We admit, however, or rather we maintain, that more partisan service is not a sufficient ground for appointment and we are happy to believe that this is a fixed principle with Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet. If this will satisfy the Union we shall not quarrel. We believe it is the firm pur of the President to ap- point the best qualified men. Due regard to geographical distribution will necessa- tily impose-some limitations.to this prin- ciple ; but in practice no great. difficulty will be foand in giting to. every part of the country its dae share of appointments under the protection of the French troops. without encroaching on the principle of Like his predecessors— | espec The President especially has seen service. | Mr. Cooke, the Principal of the Ingtitution 16th of July next. ‘ing of the following gentlemen: John i. | Bryan, Thomas J.

The heavy. resources which Dr. Watson has at his command, both in labor and in money, perience and knowledge as a man of business, furnish the strongest guarantee to responsible individuals who may be disposed to unite with him, that he has examined the proposition maturely, and will do his full share in carrying it out. Other gentlemen in this community, who are able tostand up to any amount to which they may pledge themselves, have also as we know, signi- fied their willingness to adopt this proposition; and the matter is referred to the Salisbury Convention, which considered and matured. The understanding as to this plan is, of course, that these one hundred stockholders will have (in connection meets on the 14th of next month, then and there to be % with the State) all the work under their control; and nell, the former able and efficient member ' will either do it themselves with their own hands or such as they may hire for thé purpose, or farm it out on fair terms to others. Thus, as the State subscribes two-thirds, each stockholder becoming responsible for ten thousand dollars, will command twenty thousand from the State; and contracts for suitable amounts will be made out, on terms just alike to the State and to the members of the Company. It is the opinion of many of the friends of the enter- prise, with whom we have conversed, that every thing depends upon the action of the Salisbury Convention. It is of the first importance, therefore, that gentlemen who feel an interest in the work, and who are anxious to push it forward, should attend, at all hazards and whatever personal inconvenience.—Standard. The above we find inthe Raleigh Stan- dard of the 30th ultimo, and heartily commend the spirit therein exhibited to every man in this part of the State. While we are rejoiced to see that there are men who have determined that this great en- terprize shall succeed if they have to fake the whole amount themselves, yet. we | are desirous that every man should have a hand in the construction of the Road, and of redeeming the home of their fa- thers from its present devastated condi- tion, for all are deeply interested; and would say subscribe, if it is but one hun- dred dollars. Let it not be said that we are indifferent to a work so important—a work, which when completed, will change the whole face of the Country by stimu- lating every man to improve his farm, so that he may be enabled to fill his pockets with cash by thesale of his surplus produce. Aside, from pecuniary considerations, the honor of having a hand in kindling afresh a spirit of improvement in keeping with the age, which has lain dormant for so long a time and to the great disadvantage of the State, should be sufficient to prompt | every man to open his heart and subscribe tothe amount of his means. Will not such considerations, in connection with the certainty of greater facilities for ac- quiring wealth have the desired effect !— If they do not, then must all who are too timid or too narrow-hearted be greatly mortified (if such be possible.) to see a "company of one hundred manifest such a praise- worthy and commendable zeal in behalf of the character of the State. We would then, invite all interested in this great undertaking, to visit Salisbury on the 14th instant, whether delegates or not, and hear what can be said in favor of the measure.

ENNISS, POETICAL, NOT LOST, When the shadows dim thé hours, And the fire-fly lights his lamp, And the evening shuts the flowers With her finger, slight and damp, From the bright blue skies above me, On the path of rosy light, One who only lived to love me, Comes in silence every night. Then I walk in dreams Elysian From the jarring world aside, With the pale and beauteous vision, Like the lover with his bride, Feeling when she sits beside me, “With her thin hands meekly crossed, Though her counsels no more guide me, She is gone, but is not lost. = Spring in roses was appareled, And her fringes green and deep, And the birds around her carulled, As she softly fell asleep: Then the sweetest tie was riven That two spirits could unite, And she passed the grave to heaven, Leaving all its shadows bright.

The editor of the London Lancet says: “these simple measures are worth all the nostrums of specifics which have ever been vaunted for the cure of chole- ra.” “Let every impurity, animal or vegetable, be quickly removed to a distance from the hab- itations, such as slaughter bones, pig sties, cesspools, necessaries, and other domestic nui- sances.” We do not believe that animal putrefactions are ever connected with epidemic diseases, but there can be no objection to their removal from habitations. ‘ Let all uncovered drains be carefully and frequently cleansed. ‘Let the grounds in and around the habita- tions be drained, so as effectually to carry off moisture of every kind. , ‘Let all partitions be removed from within and without babitations, which unnecessarily impede ventilation. ‘Let every room be thrown open for the ad- mission of air; and this should be done about of his rash confidence in that most trying of all impostures, British magnanimity, bis voice, like that of Homer’s dying heroes, was apparently rendered prophetic by the approach of death.— In one of his moments of inspiration he de- clared to Dr. O'Meara, that England had com- mitted a great mistake, in directing all her en- ergies against him—that it was Russia, and not France, whom she and all Western Europe had most cause to fear. The veil seems to be this prophecy. The gigantic wars which she waged for the destruction of Napoleon, has rest the march of this fearful power.—Sympa- thising as her people certainly do, ger in their defence, or whisper to the Czar, that his presence in Western Europe is not the most agreeable thing to her in the world.

The situation and circumstances of the infant States were 86 different from those of the Nation whence they , and from which they obtained their great code of Common Law, that they soon found new and differ- ent statutory provisions necessary to ensure domestic peace and tranquility ; and new and different powers were required to be possessed by the tribunals established to administer justice among them. In addition to other | mnovations, the powers of Justices of the Peace were pretty foon enlarged, and to the jurisdiction, which they in criminal matters only, was added the power to | hear and determine personal actions. The propriety of | this enlargement of the jurisdiction of Justices was not | ioned, while the office continued to be filled by | such only, as those for whom it was designed , and the | people not only acquiesced in the decisions of these infe- | tior tribunals, but speedy and substantial justice was | found to be administered by them, and the higher Courts were relieved from the burden of hearing and determin- a great number of trivial consideration. ut with the days that have passed away, since these things were so, have also passed away, in a great meas- | ure, the dignity and respectability belonging to the Of- | fiee. And though it is still retained among us, and | though the jurisdiction of Justices, have, by successive pie. iso been greatly extended and enlarged, still successive Executive or Legislature,in whom may | rest the power of appointing these Officers, seems to less and Jess regard to the qualification of the ap- tees, till a Justice's Commission has become but lit- more than a reward for the exertions of an election- eering brawler, or a mere matter of purchase, at the | Statute price of five dollars fo. seven years’ use. There are but few men, who are so constituted, as not to to possess some power ; and all must noticed with what avidity men seek office, and with what self- ogg tai some of our honest citizens regard their titles. hen, therefore, we consider the facility, with which the Office, ubove alluded to, is obtained, it ought not, perhaps, to be a matter of surprise, to find it, in | many instances, filled by men not only wholly destitute of the necessary qualifications for it, but even by some, | 80 void of the principles of moral rectitude, as to render the power they acquire, dangerous to the community. Is it not time, that greater care and circumspectoin , were exercised in the recommendation and appointment | of Justices or THE Peace ?—Raleigh Register. = — RAIL ROAD CONVENTION.

It is thought that the strong | protest of France, seconded probably by , he advance of the Russians. Sicily is again in a state of insurrection or the hudredth time. It is stated that the Danish question is. all but settled ; the only positive facts are hat the Dances have suffered another de- feat, and that Lord Palmerston has inti- mated that the attention of the British overnment is still directed to that quar- ter, with a view to effect a restoration of abe ve of “2 peace. The Daily News asserts that Denmark has accepted the propositions of Lord Pal- merston; but what those propositions are does not appear. The plot gradually reveals itself in Ger- many. ‘The sovereigns have evidently combined for the overthrow of the Liber- alists. There has been a formidable dis- | turbance at Dusseldorf, on the Rhine, but it has been suppressed. At Frankfort the riot was becoming more revolutionary and anarchial every day. All the moderate men have in con- sequence left it. Ireland continues quiet, and as misera- ble as ever. No further action has been had in the House of Lords in relation tothe Naviga- tion Laws. The Lords were to go into committee on the billon Monday. No- tice has been given by Lord Stanley and others of amendments to be offered ; and idered quite possible that Minis- # 1s cons) ters may be beaten in committee, and the | bill so mangled as to induce its authors to resign and retire from office. Details of the outbreak in Canada were Jaid before Parliament on the 15th, which elicted some discussion of no importance beyond the fact that the Government e- vinced a determination to sustain Lord Elgin. Earl Grey, in alluding to Lord Elgin’s despatch, said that it would show that he acted throughout with his accus.- temed judgment, moderation and good sense, and that he was fully prepared to jastify, and take the responsiblity of any stepof Lord Elgin. No tormal discussion of Canadian affairs, until after the receipt of later intelligence, which reached Liv- erpoo! probably on the 20th, in the Cam. ria FRANCE. The closing meetings of the National Assembly were taken up with discussion on the Italian question, in which the Min- istry finally obtained a majority of 38. It would seem from the statements made on the gubject, that M. Odilon Barrott did not give any instruction to Gen. Oudinot, recommending the occupation of Rome at all; and it had been determined that the expedition should proceed to Civita Vec- chia,.and there remain, as a moral check on the advance of the Neapolitans and Austrians; and only to march onward in case of absolute necessity. The Ministry however, were not unaninous in this ; and itis feared that Gen. Oudinot was influ- enced in his conduct by the advice of a certain faction, of which M. de Fuloni is the head. On Saturday, in areply to an attack by M. Flocon, it was stated that as soon as the Government heard that the Russians were to interfere in Germany, they wrote at once to London, St. Petersburgh, Ber. lin. and Vienna. They considered it a circumstance which must be deplored.— Fhey would endeavor to annul it by di- plomatic means ; and if they should fail, the Government would then apply to the National Assembly for its advice and cir- cumstance. In consequence of a vote of censure by the Assembly, M. Leon Fauches, Minis- ter of the Interior, resigned his portfolio into the hands of the President ; and it is said that several others of the present Ministry will resign, as soon as they can “ So without embarrassing the Presi- ent, Paris Elections.— According to the re- turns received up to midnight on Thurs- ay, they show return of 15 Socialist can- didates.

In the | mean time, Oudinot has been reinforced | by many thousand troops, and he has pro- bably now a large and well appointed ar- my under his command ; but the enthusi- | asm of the Romans is raised to the high- | est pitch, and if a single handed or com- hined attempt to bombard and take Rome | by storm could be made, the defence of | the city, by means of barricades and by the courage of the people, will be so well | maintained that the Austrians are by no. means certain of success. | All accounts concur that it will be im- | possible to restore the temporal power of | the Papacy in any form. | We have before us most frightful de- | tails of priests being dragged forth from their hiding places by the populace, and put to death; their bodies have been hacked into the smallest pieces and then cast into the Tiber. The combined Powers of Europe will scarcely be able even to set up his Holi- ness again on the throne of the Vatican. The tide of feeling has overflowed him and the Romans seem now bent on ex- cluding sacerdotal and political authority for ever. Intelligence by telegraph has been re. ceived from General Oudinot to 13th in- ; stant, at which time there was a strong. probability that the French troops would | be permitted to enter Rome without op- | position. In the General’s despatch he says, “ Serious propositions of submission are made to me—already the anchor of | safety to the Romans.

A fresh attempt was being made at Palermo te get up an armed resistance against the Neapolitans, but it appears of doubtful success. Tuscany and Modena are more or less disturbed by these hostile proceedings. At Leghorn and Florence all is fighting and confusion. The Tuscan troops hav- ing been supported by the Austrians, enter- ed Modena on the 11th instant. | The Austrians had not entered Bologna | at the date of the last accounts; but they had possession of some of the gates, and the surrender was hourly expected. The | Bolognese defended themselves nobly.— | They had offered to acknowledge the Pope, on condition that he would consent to dismiss all the priests of his Govern. | ment ; but the Austrian commander re- plied, that subjects could not be permitted to dictate conditions to their sovereigns. At Venice, Radetzki has gone further than this. The Venecians asked for an | armistice, in order that they might obtain — a mediation of France and England, to which they had applied. He answered that the Emperor, bis master, would nev- er permit a foreign Power to interfere be- tween him and his rebellious subjects.— Tbe Austrians were repulsed on the 8th instant in an assault, and the Venetian account states that they made a rally and took 800 prisoners, which needs contirma- tion, RUSSIA.

LECTURE ON THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH, Delivered before the Young: Men’s Mer- cantile Library Assoeiation, of Cincin- nati, Ohio; January 16, 1849. BY ELLWOOD FISHER. [concLUDED. ] Whilst the South has been so much | -more secure than the North in life and property, from individual crime, it has been at least equally exempt from social | disturbance. Theapprehensions of danger | from the dissimilarity of its white and black population have not been realized. The proportion of white and black re- mains as at first—about two toone. Even in Brazil, where this proportion is revers. | ‘ed, where there are two blacks to one white, tranquility has reigned for a quar- ter of acentury. And it is remarkable that Brazil and the United States, the only two nations on this continent where Afri- can slavery prevails. are the only two which have succeeded in the establish- ment of stable and flourishing, social and political institutions. In all the Spanish American States, where the attempt has been made to introduce political equality among distinct and dissimilar races, it has _been followed by incessant insurrection, anarchy, poverty, vice, and barbarism. When the Union between the North and South, under our present constitution, was formed, the social, political and eco- /nomical operation of the institutions pe- culiar to each, were matters of theory and conjecture. We have now had the experience of half a century, and the re- sult is before us in the facts I have pre- | 'sented ; facts against which neither spec- ulative philosophy, nor sectional prejudi- ces, egotism or fanaticism, can prevail. It will be observed, 1 do not compare the whole people of the North with the whole population of the South. Tam now comparing the whites only of both sec- | tions; it being the first object to ascertain | the effects of their respective institutions | on the whites of the two sections. I do not | -compare Northern cities with Soathern— but the white people, rural and urban to- gether, of one section with those of the other. I have referred more particularly to Northern cities, because they contain | so large. if not the largest portion of Nor- thern population—and are the boast and characteristic of the Northern system. have also preferred to compare the old | States of the sections not only because | they are similar in climate and produc- ‘tions, but because in them the effects of the two systems are more developed, and thern State, the proportion changes as'we advanee Westward, until-we find a great- er proportion of them io a new state of the North than in one of the South. And thus it seems that in the new states, where children are not educated at public ex- pense, and where, theréfore, their parents must provide for them, the children of the South are better educated; or rather, perhaps, it would seem, that the emigra- | diana, Hlinois, Michigan and--Wisconsin, the war had confirmed her title by the}! patriotism and valor of her own citizens— fe who rescGed even Illinois from British [f° peculiar power.

Still, however, the odds of school instruction are decidedly with the North. This results from obvi- ous causes.

But it is well known that the Pu- | go favorable to reflection, and it is to the ritan character has been rapidly degener- elevated rural society of the South so fa- ating and passing away. Indeed the forms of that faith are no longer dominant in| Boston, the ancient seat of its power, and in their place the Unitarians have pre- vailed, and they are gaining ground ra-) pidly in New England. A change has occurred in Virginia, but a change in the opposite direction. Instead of the Epis- copalians, the Baptists are predominant in Virginia. Thus under the operation of their respective institutions, the reli- gion of Massachusetts has receded from one of the most strict to one of the most: relaxed systems of the Protestant faith— | while Virginia has advanced from one of the most indulgent, to one of the stricter forms of religious discipline. There are— no means of ascertaining the number of members in all the churches in the sever- al statds. Virginia has about 80,000 of Baptists alone, she has 30,000 Methodists, and a larger proportion yet of Episcopa- lians than any other state. Altogether she must bave her full proportion. But it is in Education that the North. claims the great pre eminence over the | South. In Massachusetts, according to- the census of 1840, there were but 4448 white persons above the age of twenty | who could not read and write—and in Virginia there were 58,787. In Ohio there were 35.364; in Kentucky 40,016. In Illinois27,502; in Mississippi 8,360. Thos” it appears that whilst there are more than twelve times as many illiterate persons in that we must ascribe those qualities of persuasion and self-command by which her statesmen and captains have moved the public councils and won so many a field. The abolition of African Slavery in the South has been urged for many years by a portion of Northern people. And now its restriction to its present territorial lim- its is the avowed purpose of almost every Northern State. The basis on which this policy rests, is the assamption that slave- ry is sinful and unprofitable. The means now relied on to arrest its future progress, is not the persuasion of the people of the slave holding States, but the numerical power of the free States acting through the Federal government. Suppose now the South bad a majority of votes, and were to announce its determination to ar- rest the further progress of commerce and manufactures in consequence of their pov- erty, pauperism, crime and mortality, what would be the sentiment everywhere felt inthe North? Why, one of indignation, scorn and resistance.

It was the intention of the Hungarian General to fullow up his success, and thus arouse to his aid the whole of Poland! An official proclamation from Genera] Kos- suth, the-‘Hungarian Chief, says that the battle between the Hungarian and Russian forces took place in the defile of Rothenthrum, and thirty. six thousand Russians had surrendered to the Hungarians.

Among the attractive objects in the show- window of our neighbor Wiswell is to be seen, neatly framed, the following autograph letter of Washington : “ Camarines, 2d March, '76. “To Major General Warp, Roxbury : “Sim: After weighing all circumstan- ces of tide, &c., and considering the haz- ard of having the posts on Dorchester Neck taken by the enemy, and the evil consequences that, would result from it, the gentlemen here are of opinion that we should go on there Monday night. I give you this early notice of it that you may delay no time in preparing for it, as every thing here will be in readiness to co-operate. “In haste. Your most ob’t servant, G. WASHINGTON.” “ Saturday evening. [Across the back of this letter was writ- ten, apparently after it was sealed, “ Re- member the barrels.”] There are several things in this letter worthy of notice. Gen. Ward, to whom it was addressed, was the first Command- er-in-chief of the American army in 1775 and had been superseded by Washington at a few months previous to the date of the letter. Instead of using the authori- tative style of most military commanders, Washington, with great delicacy to Ward, modestly says, “the gentlemen here are of opinion that we should go on there Monday night.” More than two thousand men with three hundred teams did “ go on” and take possession of the hill that night, and worked with such assiduity and silence—although the ground was frozen eighteen inches deep—that by morning a strong fortification was erect- ed, commanding the town of Boston, as well as the ships of war in the harbor, as effectually as a fort on Mount Adams would command Cincinnati, As it was expected the British would attempt to dis- lodge the Americans, as at Bunker Hill, extensive preparations were made to de- fend it ; and a bloody battle being antici- pated, Dr. Thacher says, in his contempo- raneous journal, “ the surgeons and mates are ordered to prepare lint and bandages to the amount of two thousand for frac- tured limbs and gunshot wounds.” Three of four days of stormy weather, however, frustrated an immediate assault, and in the mean time the fortifications had be- come 30 formidable that Gen.

In towa, the death of Mrs. Hannah Under. wood has deeply distressed a large and affec- tionafe circle of relatives and friends. ‘The small pox attacked her immediately after hav. ing given birth to a child, and terminated fatal. ly on Wednesday morning last. Her infant fell a prey to the same disease the suceeeding day. The other eases at Mr. Underwood’s are of amild type. At Mr. C. N. McAdoo’s the entire family are at length well enough to at- tend to their domestic affairs ; but it is not yet safe for them to come out and mix with the other inhabitants of town. A medical ‘neighbor informs us that there have been, so far, thirty-two cases in all, as nearly as he can ascertain, from the very mild- est case of vario! oid to the most malignant form of confluent small pox. Out of the thirty-two there have been four deaths, including the infant mentioned above. Vaccination, where it had taken_proper and timely effect upon the system has in perhaps nearly every case been the means not only of saving the patient not only from death, but from any great severity of the disease. We shall be rejoiced when the time arrives that the disappearance of the scourge from our community can be announced. The business of our town continues at a sad stand-still in all departments ; and the effect is reciprocal upon the county to a considerable extent. We learn that a case was obsérved on last evening, (we write on Friday.) of a negro girl in another family in town, of a character so doubtful that she was promptly removed from the family. It is said, to-day, that the eruption has made its appearance upon her; but some circumstances lead to the hope that it may -yet turn out not to be small pox. By the way, the principal apprehension of the spread of the disease, in town and county is on account of the negroes, whom the strict- est vigilance can hardly restrain from commu. nication with each other.—Greens. Patriot, ALARMING ACCOUNTS FROM TEXAS. The Steamship Globe, from Brazos Santia- go, arrived at Galveston on the 2Ist. She brings the sad iutelligence that an express had arrived at Brownsville, stating that Palo Alto had been attacked by a formidable band of Ca. manche Indians, who had indulged in acts of the most startling barbarity. The stage from Point Isabel had been intercepted and the pro- prietors and passengers all made prisoners.— A train of transportation wagons, laden with valuable merchandize, had also been captured. Unfortunately there was no force t@ oppose the daring marauders, there being no mounted men at Fort Brown. ‘The loss of property is im. mense. One gentleman has lost 90 horses.— The men have been killed, and the women and children carried into captivity. Gen. Allealos, military commander at Mata- moros, was called upon by the civil authorities at Brownsville for the assistance of his moun. ted Dragoons. His answer was that he was ready to furnish all the force at his disposal if authorized by the commandant of the Texan Department to cross the frontier. The latter refused. In a few hours ’a large body of Mex- ican cavalry appeared on the opposite bank of the river, awaiting permission to cross : The whole American population in the val- ley of the Rio Grande are ina state of extreme agitation. Accounts from San Fernando, in Western Texas, bring the information that Major Berry and his party bave been cut to pieces by the Indians. They were attacked 150 miles be- yond the hacienda of San Juan de Jenda, and all murdered but one prisoner. The ravages of the Cholera at San Antonio are most awful. The whole number of deaths is not short of 500. The disease had broken out in the camp of the 3d Infantry, and in the Quartermaster’s encainpment on the Salada, where many were dying.

To the People of the United States. Believing, from the interest so far evinc- ed by the People of the United States in the erection of the great National Monu- ment in this city to the memory of the il- lustrious Father of his Country, that no occasion could be more appropriate fora further manifestation of that interest than the approaching Birthday of our Nation- al Independence, the Board of Managers of the Washington National Monument Soeiety has instructed me to request that wherever that day is celebrated collec- tions may be taken up in aid of the great and patriotic object, which all who revere the character and cherish the memory of Washington must earnestly desire to see accomplished. It has been justly observ- ed that “if men of standing and eminence throughout every community in our ex- tendéd country were to use their influ- ence to turn the stream of expenditure, on the ensuing Fourth of July, towards the fund for this Monument, it would be a beautiful and appropriate commemora- tion, worthy of the People and of the Man to whom the Nation is so much indebted for the results of that eventful day.— Would not each and every one be willing to devote the extra expenditure usually incurred on this anniversary fo so holy a purpose 7” It is believed that they would and they are earnestly invited to do so.— The public Press, it is hoped, will aid the cause, and every where recommend this plan; and the Wives and Daughters of America are requested to lend their influ- ence to the noble undertaking. Let the announcement of such a parpose be giv- en some days previous to the Fourth of July, and committees appointed to receive and transmit to the General Agent of the Society the collections which may then be made. ; For the information of the Public it may be proper to state that, since the last Fourth of July, when the corner-stone of the Monument was laid, the work has been steadily advancing, and has now reached an elevation of about twenty-six feet above the surface, with a foundation of solid masonry 81 feet square at the bot- tom and 58 feet 10 inches square at the top, upon which the obelisk, cased with beautiful white marble and elevated five hundred feet, isto be erected. The walls of gneiss and marble are fifteen feet in thickness, leaving a cavity of twenty-five feet square, in which the stair-case of iron ascending to the summit, will be placed ; and the whole structure, when finished, will be, it is believed, the greatest work of the age, reflecting imperishable honor on the patriotism and gratitude of the A- merican People, by whose contribations alone it is expected to be completed.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONU- MENT. . In another column of this paper, will be found an appeal to the generosity of the American People, by the Washington Monument Society, for funds to coms plete the “Great National Monument” in Washington city “to the memory of the illustrious Father of his Country.” ‘The recommendation therein made, we hear- tily approve, and suggest that something be done to advance the “ noble undertak- ing” here on the 4th day of July next.— Let it not be said, that this generation, while enjoying the civil and religious lib- erties which he fought for and secured for it, is too penurious, or too careless as to the completion of the monument, by with- holding the aid asked for by the Board of Managers. DEATH OF MAJ. GEN. GAINES. This veteran officer of the Army died at New Orléans, on the 6th instant of Cholera, whilst in command of the Wes- tern Division of the United States Army. He was according to grade, the second | officer inrankinthe Army. Gen. Gaines entered the service in January 1799, and greatly distinguished himself in the de- fence which he made at Fort Erie against a night attack of the British under Gen- eral Drummond in 1813. Drummond lost in this affair 962, while the American loss was only 84.

Swain, the President of | Convention was added to this Committee. | The various resolutions that had been sub. | milled fo the Convention, looking to the best | ahd most available means of succeeding the at enterprise, socompletely engrossing the | gitention of the members, were now referred to the Committee, with instructions (o report | thereon. On motion, the Convention then adjourned to meet again when the Committee should be ready to report. Immediately thereafter, the Committee was organised by the appointment of Hon. John W. | Ellis, Chairman; Mr. Gilmer rose and address. | ed the Committee at some length, on the sub. ject embraced in a resolution offered by him- self in Convention, and now a proper subject for the consideration of the Committee, to wit: | The raising of a sum of money by the delegates of the Convention, for the purpose of a survey ofthe route of the road, and the payment of a. competent agent, whose duty it should be to go out and solicit subscriptions of stock. He was followed by ex-Gov. Morehead, who thought the plan, so far as it related to the sur- vey of the route, was not the best that could be adopted. He took the ground that the survey would be premature, and that the route which might be selected, would probably be rejected by the company organized under the charter, when that company should be formed. And that the survey now, would be lost labor and lost money. He was followed by Gov. Graham of Orange, who also dissented to the plan of Mr. Gilmer and submitted his own views on the | yarioas questions involving the success of the | project, in a most clear and able speech. He | took the same ground as thatof Gov. Morehead, in relation to the survey proposed by Mr. Gil- mer’s resolution. The Committee was then addressed by Gov. Swain, who spoke at con- siderable length, detailing a plan for proceed. | ing which was received with considerable at. tention. We are not prepared at this moment, to state the positions of Governor Swain, and in justice to that gentleman, will not attempt it. When he had concluded, on motion The Committee took a recess of one hour andahalf: At 3 o’clock it re-assembled, when, Oo motion of Governor Morehead, a sub- commitiee, of five were appointed to prepare a gates to attend the Rail Road Convention James Gris. to be held in Salisbury on the 14th instant, 'L. Bingham was appointed Chairman, and John McRorie, Secretary. The object of the meeting was explain- ed in an Interesting address by J. A. Lil- lowing resolutions, which were adopted: | Resolved, That the action of the last looking to the prosperity of the people of lopement of her resources, meets with our most hearty approbation. Resolved, That we feél a lively inter- est in the success of all the works of Im- provement recently chartered by the Le- Goldsboro’. the West, now without a market of any ducts, but of the whole State, impoverish- dinary and imperfect facilities of getting to market require the immediate construc- tion of the said Central Road. Resolved, That we have seen with plea- ry on the 14th instant, and the general in- terest manifested therein by a large por- tion of the State, and we believe that up- on the result of its deliberations will de- pend in a great degree, the success of the Central Rail Road. Resolved, therefore, That the Chairman of this meeting appoint 40 Delegates to attend said Convention, and that those who are prevented from attending be au- thorized to select alternates. Delegates.—A. G. Carter, Sam’! Rose, B. Bailey, T. M. Young, J. McRorie, H. Reynolds, W. B. March, George Wilson, Wilfred Turner, Charles Griffith, Tenison Cheshire, N. S. A. Chaffin, A. M.

A. Lil- lington, C. Harbin, A. Neely, Isaac Hol- man. On motionof J. A. Lillington the name of the Chairman was added to the list. report, preparatory to reporting to Convention. Also, on motion of the same gentleman, anoth- er sub-committee of three was appointed, to as- certain from the delegates present what the probable amount of subscriptions inthe various seltions of country here represented, will be. Then, on motion, the Committee rose, and | reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. President Morehead having resumed his seat, announced the readiness of Convention to pro-— ceed !o business. Mr. John W. Thomas, of Davidson; Mr. Whitney of Norfulk ; Gov. Swain, Hon. N. Boyden, Gen. McRae, President of Wilming- lon and Roanoke Rail Road; Col. John Mc- Leod, of Johnston ; and Mr. Dibble, of Craven, | were successively called up, and addressed the Convention in able and interesting speeches. Afier which, Convention adjourned until tomorrow (Fri- day,) at 8 o'clock. It will be seen that no definitive action of mecial juterest has yet been had. We regret that we cannot detain the publication of our pa- per long enough to yive a full report of the pro- ceedings. But we rejoice at the prospect which is presented, "The very best spirit prevails, and every indication is of the most flattering character, That the Central Rail Road shall be built, is the unanimous sentiment; and dele- gates are equally as unanimous in their zeal to arrive at the most practicable scheme to ensure the greatest success. We congratulate the State, and especially that portion of it more di- rectly interested in this work, on the bright- Rees of the day just dawning; and would ad. Wenish them that now is the day, and now the hour to put forth strength, and all will be safe. dings be sent to the Editors of the Caroli- na Watchman with a request that they publish them.

We have, for some time past, been in sion of a very amusing episode in| | political bistory—vouched for by some | inent Democrats of this city—and we think it unfair not to give the matter | to the fun loving public. Ht will be recollected that James H. Thomas (a member of the last Congress) | and Major Wm. H. Polk (brother of the | ex-President) were lately opponents in| the matter of seeking a Democratic nomi | nation in the Sixth Congressional District | ofthis State. They finally went so far | as toattack the claims of each other in rather a bitter tone. ‘One day, in the presence of a crowd of thé Democratic faithful (a convention, we believe, of the Sachems of the District.) they were arguing the question of com- tive claims. Maj. Polk insisted that r. Thomas was not, and had not been, *true to the South.” Mr. T. demanded the proof of the charge : whereupon, with no small exultation and with all the glee of afiticipated triumph, Maj. Polk un- rolled Calhoun’s address, and asked sneor- ingly why was not the name of the hon- ofable gentleman to rHat document—he had examined it carefully, and nowhere coald he find the name of James H. Thomas—why was it not there 7 Mr. Thomas answered with profound humility, that, if not to have signed that fess was treason to the South, then was he most deeply, unquestionably guilty. He did not know that he could plead any- thing in extenuation of the crime, which would be entirely satisfactory to his com- petitor; but it might mitigate the severi that county. ters.” ly confined.

Maliory, Esq., severally read and submitted by the Chairman, and unanimously adopted by the meeting : Whereas, The General Assembly of the State of North Carolina did at their last session, grant a charter for the Central Rail Road, to be built from Raleigh, via Salisbury to Char. lotte, and authorised a subscription of two mill- ions of dollars on the part of the State towards building said Rail Road : And whereas, The said General Assembly | did further provide for the re-construction of the | Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, and the exten- sion of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad to some point on said Raileigh and Gaston Road and authorised a subscription on the part of said State, equal to one-half of the cost of build- ing said extension: And Whereas, Numerous meetings of the citizens of North Carolina have been held for the purpose of adopting preliminary measures for the commencement of work on said Central Rail Road,—and said citizens have voted to assemble in Convention at Salisbury on Thurs- day the 14th inst., to perfect such plans and organization as will ensure the speedy com- pletion of said Rail Road—Therefore, Resolved, 1st. ‘That with a full appreciation of the great natural advantages of Norfolk as a commercial city—and of the vast agricultural resources of those portions of North Carolina through which the Central Rail Road will pass —-satisfied of the mutual dependence existing between our city and the Old North State, and | of the mutually beneficial results which must follow the establishment of Rail Road commu. nication between us, we have watched with solicitude the action of the Legislature of North Carolina in regard to Internal Improvements and we congratulate alike hercitizens and our own, upon the liberal policy which has been | pursued. | Resolved, 2d. That as citizens of Norfolk, we have a deep interest in the proposed internal improvements of North Carolina, and with our best wishes for their early completion and suc- cess, we confidently look to our connexion with them as sure fo result in bringing to our city a large and valuable trade, which can only be reached by the contemplated improvements. Resolved, 3d. ‘That we regard the Central Rail Road of North Carolina, as an all-impor- tant link in the great chain of inter-communi- cation now in progress of completion, which when finished, will connect our city on, the Seaboard with Memphis onthe Mississippi river, and which will afford invaluable facilities of communication and intercourse between our | own State and her sister States in the South | and Southwest, and which must tend to strength- en and perpetuate the relations existing be- tween them. Resolved, 4th. That while other cities, pos- sessed of fewer advantages than Norfolk, are by their energetic exertions drawing towards themselves trade and travel which is within | "our own reach, we shall be unworthy of the | age in which they live, and undeserving our | advantages, if we do not show a proper dispo- | Resolved, Th. : the Board of General Com.

In the early part of the sitting every thing was perfectly tranquil, and there were no troops in attend- ance beyond the dsual guard. Later in the day, however, immense bodies of disorderly le collected around the Chamber, and the fear of an invasion by the mob was so great that the troops, previously instructed, were or. dered to advance and clear the adjoining streets. Ne serious attempt was made to resist the troops, and but few arrests were made. On Wednesday a bitter conflict took place in the Assembly, growing out of the removal of the Colenel who had been during the session entrusted with the immediate command of the troops for the protection of the Chambers. The correspondent of the London Times, in describ- fag-the proceedings alluded to, says: “Phe latier days of the Constituent Assem- bly presented many scenes such as in mercy we would wish to draw a veil over forever; bet never, even in the hours when its end was hing, and Paris depended on the pro. tection of 100,000 bayonets, and public tran. quility was at the capricious mercy of the As- sembly, as the air is shaken by the thunder. storm, in none of these unquiet moments was there @ scene of such violence witnessed as in the Legislative Chambers yesterday. * The thirtieth of May was to have become a new era, and it was fondly believed tbat in the electoral returns, which recorded the votes of s of free cittizens, were also to be send buried forever the evil passions engen- dered daring tiie. stormy excitements of the eC pre which gave to regenerated France mew constitution: but if afew more scenes similat to that which occurred yesterday again take. place, even the most credulous must aban- dombe hope of ever seeing sound constitution- al liberty prevailing in France.

Perhaps the only similarity will be found in the annals of the first revolution. “When Ledru Rollin appeared at the tri- bune to debate the question before the Cham. ber, Joud cries arose for the order of the day ; but having attemp'ed to persevere, and the cries grests louder, the President put on his hat, thu suspending the sitting. was resumed, the members of the Left avowed their disapproval of the President’s conduct by | the noisiest demonstration, and vehemently ap- d Ledru Rollin, in the midst of which the resident stepped forward and told the speaker that, if the Assembly were threatened with in- vasion, it was only by him and his friends.— Ledru Rollin then quitted the tribune, declar- ing that both he and bis party had been insult. ed, and that the liberty of speech was at an * A tremendous uproar then rose on the Left, and four of the Secretaries’ youngest members of the House stood up and resigned their func. fions amidst the Joudest applause fromthe Moun. t#ip.

Lesseps has left the city for the camp o Gen. Oudinot, but was expected back immedi- ately. It was also understood that a deputa. tion had been sent on the previous day to Ga- eta, with proposals to the Pope to return under a very limited temporal rule, and with a total exclusion of the Cardinals from all political power. PRUSSIA AND DENMARK. The war between the Danes and the Prus- sians continues without, from present appear. ances, the remotest prospect of a satisfactory adjustment of the paltry matter in dispute.— The town of Fredrica has been reduced by bombardment, and the Prussian troops are ad- vancing to Arhaus. ‘The Danish cruisers are strictly enforcing the blockade of the German ports. A Division of the Russian ficet has ap. peared in the Danish waters, which is consid. ered significant of the intentions of the Czar. There is very little authentic intelligence from Germany. It would seem, however, that the western Prussian provinces have become somewhat more tranquilized ; but in Baden and Bavaria, and in all that region, the popular chiefs are said to be only waiting to learn the resu!t of the French election.” AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. From Austria and Hungary little is positive- ly known beyond the fact that vast armies from Russia, in concert with Austria, are now bearing down upon the Hungarians, who seem to be making a progressive movement, large bodies of troops having retired into the fast. nesses of the country, where they will be able to fall upon the enemy with almost certainty of success. By the latest news positive information has been received that the city of Buda has fallen into the hands of the place Hungarians, who are said to have gained possession of the place by treachery, and put the garrison of five or six hundred men to the sword. In the South the Magyars are said to be in possession of Fiume, the only seaport of Hun. gary; which, if true, will give a vast impulse to the cause. The meeting of the Emperors of Austria and Russia at Warsaw lasted but one day. Noth. ing has transpired as to the object of the inter. view. (F One, and by no means the least, of the advantages which have followed the result of the Presidential election, isthe moderation and |. : . : ; | discretion which are assured toour foreign pol- When business |. en p icy, and the security which we may therefore expect in our foreign relations. No reflecting man can doubt that, in these times of civil com- motion and of general war, when the great principles of government are put to the arbitra- tion of the sword, and when all the nations of Europe and either engaged in the struggle or in hourly danger of being drawn into it, the highest policy of our Government, its true in- terest, and its manilest duty, is peace. Our neutrality should be guarded and defended with the most jealous care. We should not suffer ourselves to become entangled in the mazes of European politics, and inthe revolutionary and dynastic conflicts which have almost converted the eastern continent into one great battle field. Let the people of Europe settle their own af. fairs in their own way. Let them adopt such forms of government as they choose and as they can maintain, and let us confine our pro- pagandism of the true principles of government to the good example of peace and order which we hold out to the view of the nations. Such, every one knows, is the policy of the Aoministration. Such are the wise and just views of Gen. Taylor, and of the men whom he has called around him; and this assurance every cilizen rests secure that the country will be brought into no unnecessary collisions with foreign powers. Should difficulties unhappily arise, they will be met with a prudence which will seek the maintenance of friendly relations, and with a firmness which will yield nothing uf the national honor. Every man feels this ; every man feels that we have a President who sincerely desires peace, yet who is not afraid of war. Now, will any man say that this double security, a security both for the honor of the country and for the preservation of peace, could be felt with the Democratic party in pow. er, clamoring for the area of freedom, the an. nexation of Cuba, and the manifest destiny of this country to meddle in the a“ airs of all oth. er parts of the world? Would not every one feel that the Administration, from its own im. prudence, or driven by the clamor of its sup- porters and the consistency of its professions, would be in constant danger of involving the country in the conflict which rages in the old world ?— Providence Journal.

Taylor’s administration was an- nounced, and the Northern birth and sympa- ion, leave dittle room to doubt, that “the union of all the elements of the Democratic party,” foreshadowed in the short text of these remarks was desired to be just such a union as had been effected in the important political coali- tions which had taken place in Connecticut, Ohio and New York city. It is well for the South, therefore, to consider what were the terms of true character of the opposition that is to be madeto General Taylor. We need not remind our readers, that, in each case, the Free Soil faction required a full submission and adhesion to its anti-slavery principles as the indispensa- ble condition of the alliance. In Connecticut that faction not only placed Free Soilism atthe heat of the common profession of faith, but would have none but Free Sui! candidates for Congress. In New York city, the candidate for the Mayoralty was a leading supporter of Van Buren and Adams. In Ohio, the primary tenct of the amalgamated factions is significantly indicated by their appellation of “ Free De- mocracy.” It is, then, this formidable coalition, with Free Soil as the first article of its creed, to | which the Washington Union is hereafier to lend its Countenance.—This conclusion is for- tified by the progress of the Northern move- ment, under the Union’s eye, as exhibited in the late development in the State of Vermont. It is alsu supported by intimations in that paper itself, which seem to us tu be unequivocal. A few days since, it used these remarkable words : “If our friends in the States in which elec- tions are yet to be held will make the same ex- ertions which were made by the Democrats of Connecticut and Virginia, we are confident their success will be equally signal and glori- ous.” What the exertions of the Democrats of Con- necticut were, is very wellknown. ‘They con- sisted in first consenting to adopt Free Soil principles and Free Soil candidates, and then voting with the Free Soilers at the election.— ‘‘The same exertions” the Union wants the Democrats of Indiana and other Northern States to make in the coming elections. An article in the Union of Wednesday last, reveals still more decisively the reality of the coalition, and the favor with which it is regard- ed by the Democratic leaders. We copy a portion of this article, as follows: ** UnsBLusHinG ImpupENce.—The Philadel. phia North American charges the Democratic party of the North with endeavoring to heal the differences which divided it in the last pre- sidential contest. It denounces this effort asa ‘ base coalition ;’ but it takes care not to say which division of the party has acted or desires to act basely. We, therefore, respectfully ask of the editor of the North American, which di- vision has acted basely? Does he mean to condemn those who voted for Gen. Cass and non-intervention? Or does he mean to assail those who voted for Mr. Van Buren and free soil, and elected Zachary Taylor President of the United States? Is it hase in the supporters of Mr. Van Buren to unite with those who con. tend that Congress should leave slavery in the territories to the people of the territories 7— Then the North American has acted basely in uniting with the aati-Wilmot Proviso Whigs of the South in the late canvass. Is it base for the supporters of General Cass in the North. ern States to unite with those who sustained the Buffalo platform?) ‘Then the Whig party of the South has, according tothe North American, acted basely in uniting with such men as its editor ; for he, too, sustains every principle of The reader wil! observe that these questions, in reply to the charge of ‘ base coalition,” are | grounded upon the admission that the coalition is in existence and in progress, and is a thing It is artfully implied, however, that the two Democratic factions have united, | like the Northern and Southern Whigs, with- out any sacrifice of the views of either in re- gard to the subject of slavery, and solely with reference to the general questions of party pol. itics. But this, as we have shown, is not true. | The coalition is planted upon the Wilmot Pro. viso as its foundation stone. ‘To encourage that coalition, therefore, (as the Union unques- tionably does.) is directly to make use of free soil as the principal instrument of warfare upon the administration; and it now behooves the south to say whether such a warfare shall have its sanction and support. Virginia has unhap- pily spoken when the evidences that the North. | ern Democracy had resolved itself into the free soil party were not entirely distinct: and unde- niable.

Raleigh ‘Times. / Gi a Ba rune at, I THURSDAY EVENING, ee fe i ae piaweon SSE d and requested® to. ahnounce ell, Esq., of County, How the Rail Road is to be Built. This question, which was so repeated- ly asked, and the answer that seemed to be attended with so many difficulties pre- viously to the late Convention, is now ea- sily solved. It is to be built by the labor of the country, negro labor and white la- bor. It is to be built and the cars run- ning in three years from this time: and it is to be owned, that is, to the amount of the million of dollars, which individa- als are permitted to subscribe, by persons living along the rout, and they not out of pocket a single dollar ! The Convention upon two points ex- pressed an entirely unanimous opinion : Ist, that subscriptions could be paid in work as well as in money. 2d, that in letting out contracts, subscribers should have the preference. The distinguished reputation of several Convention gives great weight to the re- sults of their deliberations. When it is considered too, that the in- dividual subscribers or stockholders will, for a time at least, have the entire control of the operations of the road, there can be no doubt the plan of the Convention will be adopted. This fact then being known throughout the State, subscription must go on freely, liberally. There is a vast amount of la- bor in the country, seeking investment,— labor, at present poorly employed, poorly paid. Any kind of employment to which it might be adapted, and which would pay well, would be gladly sought by it. Now the work upon the Rail Road is ex- actly the employment in question. There will be expended in the State upon a line of road a little more than two bundred miles in length, about two millions of dol- lars. We allow one million for purchas- es, which will have to be made out of the State, the iron, the locomotives, &c. Nine or ten thousand dollars a mile then will be paid out along the road. Some six thousand of this will be paid for digging dirt—digging down hills and filling up- hollows—the balance for timber, for rock, for brick, for building bridges, depots, wa- ter stations, &c. Now, all this is just the sort of work that the people of the country ting down trees, sawing timber, blasting rock, making brick, why it is just to our hand, the material is all around us and costs nothing. Only contrive to feed and clothe hands, and the balance is clear profit. Now, who does not know that if an agent were to pass through this coun- ty, with the cash in his pocket, offering to make cash contracts of this sort, that he | would get any amount taken that he might wish? Half the labor of the county with- in ten miles of the road would get em- ployed upon the work. Half the horses pee weer e fis the ce bright promise of good in reserve to the | Old North State, which was indicated by | spand perhags be! above pé > with a large proportion Of Rail Roads in the United States. But, however this may be—although a person may sacrifice one, two, thfee, or exen five handred dollars on his stock, still he will be a gainer, and very largely upon the whole. The lessened force left upon his farm may have made a smaller crop than before, but then it will have been better taken care of and more sparingly and carefully used. His negroes will have been kept more closely at work, and will have had less time to runabout, but they will hardly have lost any thing either of health or discipline. Himself and sons may have undergone more labor, more fatigue. In substituting the active pur- suits of this new employment to the ac- customed and somewhat sluggish routine of former life, they may have risen earlier and retired later, but their toil will have been cheered by the certainty of its re- muneration and by the fresher hopes and livelier expectations which the progress of the work could not fail to inspire. These are the plain views of many of our people, adopted after the maturest re- flection. They are of opinion that the million of dollars which will be distribu- ted along the road will be pretty nearly a clear gain to those who receive it, that it | will be paid for labor which would other- wise be in great part, either unemployed or misdirected. Wishing to participate in this benefit, they will therefore sub- scribe to the road, and to an extent great- ly beyond any means of cash payment which they may at present have at com- mand. In conclusion, we have every confi- dence that the Books of Subscription will be closed, the Company organized, and | the work commenced at an early day.— The very process of its construction, we feel assured, will give a new spur to all the industrial pursuits of the country through which it will pass, not more by. withdrawing labor from other more crowd- ed avocations, than by enlivening the} prospects and cheering the hearts of our hitherto languishing and almost despond- ing people. THE CONVENTION. We are enabled this evening to publish | the official report of the proceedings of the | great Convention which assembled here on Thursday last—great on account of | the importance of the enterprise, to pro- | mote which it was called—and the dis- tinguished gentlemen who composed it. | Bat especially great on account of the. its deliberatlons. Aye, there 7s a day ap- proaching, as justly remarked by Mr. | Dissue, of Craven, “ when North Caroli- | na shall cease to be a by-word, and when citizens of other States shall no longer sneer at her. The people have taken her case into their own hands,—her necessities are revealed to them as with a sun beam —the spirit of improvement is abroad, | | | | would be taken from the plough and put to the dirt cart and scraper. People would | quit raising grain to sell—at any rate till | it got scarce enough to carry prices up to what they ought to be—and every one would be sending off all the force he could possibly spare to the * Rail Road.” Now this wont be exactly the state of things upon o@r Rail Road. It wont be all cash. To entitle a person to get a contract he will have to subscribe to the road, and subscribe beforehand too; for the subscription has to be all made up before the work is let out—but then in addition to these subscriptions, there will be of money paid out, a million at any rate from | the State, and as much besides—say halfa million—as may be subscribed by persons | who don’t wish to take contracts, and he is wise, in our opinion, who places him- self in a condition to get a share. This then, will be the operation of the | thing. A man subscribes for ten shares, at a hundred dollars each, and pays 5 per cent., that is fifty dollars at the time of subscribing. When the subscriptions are all made up, and the contracts come to be let out, he takes one for, say half a mile of grading, at twenty-four hundred dol- lars, He is to have two years to do the work in, and is to be paid every two months for what he has done.

Do rus, anp Liserry Is SAPE. Gen'l_ Harrison. NEW. SERIES. VOLUME VI—NUMBER s. ” SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1849. — But hark! There is a sound from the West. Hear ye not the neighings of hors- | es, the prancing of steeds and the rattling | of kettle drums, in the direction of Ray’s old field? Again all is silent. The war horse that so lately thundered over Ray’s battle field, now stands hitched to the cor- ner of a fence, silently ruminating upon the glories of conquest, and inwardly pi- tying an old mare that he sees grazing near by, because she knows nothing about | consideration of this subject to all our minis- ters and people, and the friends of education generally. 2d. Resolved, That we recommend to the ministers composing the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of North Carolina, that they meet in Convention, on Friday preceding the 4th Sab. bath in July next, in St. James’ Church, Con- cord, N. C., at 10 o’clock, A. M., to take some more active measures on this subject. 3d. Resolved, That each minister present this subject to his congregations, and let them jt relates, and cause censure to rest upon | war—while the warriors of note, with adopt the necessary measures to obtain a lay those, who in my humble opinion, have | feathers on their heads, brass on their | representative to attend with himself in said | only done what both law and justice re- shoulders and iron on their feet, beneath | Convention. quired at their hands. presuming to notice his article, or for! questioning the correctness of any of the | statements therein set fort): for says he. “it ig @ Matter that should interest the! whole community, that the laws have/| been disrespected, and the rights of indi- , vidaals abused.” And though he only | desires an expression of opinion from Ra- | therford to Davie, yet | cannot see why | the citizens of Davidson should not have ih vame right to “speak out their opin- jons on a Subject in which they are as much interested as the people of Ruther- | ford or Davie or any intermediate point. | Now this is a very serious charge made | by the Courier, against somebody (though | against whom he does not tell,) and if) true, those who thus “disrespect the law and abuse the rights of individuals” should be made known and held up to pnblic in- dignation—I would therefore say, on Cou- | rier, on, lash the rascals well, and never) give over until youhave broughtthem toa sense of their duty—but in the first place be certain that you are correctly inform- rds to all the facts, lest while you think you are pouring your grape intothe ranks | oi the enemy you may unconsciously | wound some whom you now think are_ | | | lible, What then are the facts? Gen. By- | num resigned—the Adjutant General is. | sued his orders to Gen. Leach, Gen. Lo- | gan, and Gen. Neel, to order the Colonels | of their Brigades to call together the offi- | gers of their regiments to proceed to elect | a Major General—Gen. Leach gives due | notice, and the regiments of his Brigade ali sote, and in due time report the result. | Gen. Logan gives due notice to the regi- | men's of his Brigade, they all vote and | report according to law. Gen. Neel pub- listerat his notice in the Charlotte paper, | anddoes not give a written notice to the several Colonels as stated by the Courier ; a portion of the regiments of his Brigade , vote, but a portion of the 60th and 61st | regiments (Stanly and Montgomery) do | not vote. And why? The Colonel of, Montgomery informs Gen. Neel that he | only received notice one day before the | time ordered for holding the election, and | consequently he could not call together , the officers in time for that purpose, and , that here was no election. The Colonel , ul tae segiment of Stanly having died, the Lieut. Colonel returns to Gen. Neel, that no erder to hold the election had come to hand, and that no vote had been taken in | that county. Gen. Neel refuses to re-or- | der an election in those two regiments, but makes his return to the Adjutant.— | The officers of the 60th and 6lst regi- | ments considering that the “rights of in- | lividuals had been abused and the laws disrespected,” make their complaint to the Governor and Adjutant, that they had not | been permitted to exercise the privilege of voting, and that a Major General was about to be placed over then. in whose election they had had no vo'v. \Where- upo the Adjutant General (and I con-- ceive very properly) informed Gen. Neel, | that he had the power to give those regi- ments, which had not had the privilege, still » chance to vote; this Gen. Neel re- fuse, to do, and informs the Adjutant that he «| let the matter rest as it was un- less otuerwise ordered. The Adjutant General orders Gen. Neel to issue a notice to those regiments which had not voted— the notice issues and the election takes place in Stanly—but in Montgomery the notice again came to hand some ten days too late—and whether any election has as yet taken place in that county I have | not been informed. This I believe is the whole sum and substance of the matter, the whole head and front of the offence, and if thereby “individual rights have been abused and the laws disrespected,” the public must judge who is the trans- gtessor, who has caused this great delay, which the Courier, so feelingly laments, and so hazarded the safety of the old North State in thus permitting the fourth division of her militia to be so long with- outa Major General, especially when we have had so much rain, and the crops are | grassy, “Io particular (says the Courier,) did Gen. Neel, who is an uble and experienced | officer, give due notice. In addition he | published his orders in the newspapers in his Brigade for the election.” Meaning | ey ies Gen. Neel not only publish- . ars ers in the newspapers, but that gave them due notice in some oth- | “et form, and of this the Courier is very | certain. Now itso happens that Mr. Gai. has in his possession a letter from | tats which he informs Mr. Gaither | " the only notice he gave was through | e¢ Charlotte paper. Now who should | Nov best, how the notice was given, Gen. ‘eel or the Editor of the Courier? | ‘the result. oe ; : . | which men who aspire to be Generals | corrosive nature of the mud, the light ashy ap. | the shade of an aged apple tree, have re- to try some poor fellow for not being arm- ed and equipped according to law, he having nothing but six feet of corn stalk. | Having disposed of this weighty matter, | they solemnly resolve that John H. Wheel- er was lawfully elected Major General— and that they regard as unjast and unmil- itary any order directing any particular counties to vote again, and that they want allto have a fairchance. Now, why pass | a resolution that it is unjust to order any) particular county to vote ‘again? Has, any person ever made or thought of mak. | ing such an order? Or don’t they under- | stand the English language, and know that a man must first vote, before he can, in the language of the resolution, “ vote | again?” Or, are the officers of the 99th | regiment laboring under the impression | that the regiments of Stanly and Mont- , gomery had voted before the Adjutant | General ordered Gen. Neel to re-issue his | | } | | | Mr. Wheeler is properly elected, when two counties, about one sixth of the divi- able and experienced officers, if not infal- | sion, has had no opportunity to vote even |" once, much lessto “ voteagain.” A strange idea this of giving every one a fairchance. | That the officers of Montgomery and | Stanly have not voted, is not their fault, | they wish to exercise this privilege, and , is it not unkind, “ unjust and unmilitary,” in the officers of another portion of the di- vision to wish or endeavor to cut them off | from thisright. There must be some mis- take in this matter; for] know that there is too much nobleness of soul, too much generosity, too much of the true soldier (for the brave are always generous) in the officers of the 99th regiment to wish to deprive their brethren of Montgomery and Stanly, of the same privilege’ which they themselves have enjoyed, and that when they come to understand the matter more fully, they will, soldier-like, do what is right. This, Messrs. Editors, is a matter in| which I have no personal feeling ; what | I have written has not been dictated out | of any spirit of unkindness. As the elec- | tion now stands with the vote of Stanly, | Mr. Gaither has amajority—should Mont- | gomery vote I know not what would be | I think she should have the | same privilege with the other counties— | and if Mr. Gaither and Mr. Wheeler are | possessed of that high sense of honor | ought to have, they would, either of them, | scorn to accept a commission, to command | men, who had thus been unjustly depriv- | ed of that privilege which every soldier | holds so dear—the privilege of choosing | his own commander.

But, from the brief space of our sojourn here, and consequent limited extent of our acquaintance, our remarks must be confined to a small por- tion of a single county.

The general appearance of the country is by no means prepossessing. ‘Though it may be called a level country, because hills and:moun.- tains are not seen, yet the monotony of a per- fect level is frequently relieved by gentle undu- former dry in summer, in winter coursed by a dirty slugglish stream.

We find in a digest of Mr. Colman’s recent book on Europe, prepared for the Boston ‘Tran- script, some interesting particulars of the wealth of several of the noblemen of Great Britain : “ Althorpe, the residence of Earl Spencer, consists of 10,000 acres, all lying together in wood, meadow, pasture, gardens, parks, and everything in a style of superior beauty and or- der.” His house contains sleeping rooms for seventy guests—the entries and rooms are fill- A gallery of pictures, one hundred feet long, contains many of the works of the first masters. His library i nifice comprises more than 50,000 volumes, and is said to be the finest library in the world. The Duke of Richmond’s home farm (Good. wood) consists of 23,000 acres. His whole domain at Goodwood is 40,000 acres. He has | —extensive parks, through which you ride for | miles and miles—herds of deer, sheep and cat. { | tle—twenty five race horses in the stable, and a groom for each—an aviary, filled with a va- riety of splendid birds—fish ponds—grottos, &c. The annual income of the Duke of Devon. shire, the proprietor of Chatsworth, is to be £200,000, or one million ofdollars. This is said to be the most splendid nobleman’s seat in the Kingdom. His arboretum, covering many acres, contains one or more specimens of eve- ry tree that can be acclimated—the kitchen garden covers twelve acres—a conservatory, 387 feet long, 117 wide, 67 high, with a car- hot water, passing through an extent of seven miles. The fountain at Chatsworth throws the water to the height of 276 feet. Here the | Duke owns 38,500 acres, and 96,000 in Derby. shire. Fora minute description of these sump- terior arrangements, style of living, &c., the reader is referred to the letters of Mr. Colman, On page 108, Vol. 1.

But Mr. Fisher cherished no malice. If he never forgot his friends, he forgave his enemies. Even those who felt the force of his talents, the energy , of bis*tharacter, the power of his intellect in discussion, when the contest was over, acknowledged the generosi- ty ofthis temper and the nobleness of his disposition.— When the news of his death reached his residence, a publie meeting was held on the melancholy occasion ; many who were always politically opposed to him united in it, and one of the most active in that meeting, was a géatieman who was his opponent for Congress in a heat- ed and violent contest, in 1839.

The business is managed chiefly by Mr. J. G. Cairnes, Agent, under whose superintend. ence all the various branches are successfully conducted. There are 3000 spindles, and 70 looms in employed male and female, 120. ‘The Ma. chinery is propelled by a Steam Engine, of 50 Horse-power, which consumes from 5 to 6 Joads of Wood per day. Not less than 60 Bar- rels of Flour are used in Starch; and 1000 Bales of Cotton are worked up in a year. The Cloth which weighs 3 yards to the pound, and appears to be of an excellent quali- ty, is made of No. 14 and 15 Yarn; it is call. ed 4.4Sheetings. Besides supplying the home demand, there were shipped, in five months, to the Northern Market, 249,000 yards of Cloth and 6,400 pounds of Batts. A spinning frame in this Factory, made by the Matteawan Commpany of New York, pro- duces nine skeins per spindle per day.

It were a task far beyond our powers to mention the na- as it would prove tedious, and difficult, since no truth is better known. one be surprised, then, when we state that there are a few persons, citizens of the State, who, in a spirit of opposition, ask the question “ who will be benefitted by the Rail Road.” With some of these, no argument, however conclusi ve, could avail any thing ; and with such it were useless to debate. Time alone, can show them their error, and the good results of the en- terprise flowing in upon them, alone con- vince their minds of the unwise course they pursue. But of those who are open to conviction, and whose lives are living epistles of patriotism and usefulness, we entertain the liveliest hopes. They will not finally settle down in opposition, with- out first giving the subject that serious consideration its importance demands ;— and having arrived at the truth they will as heartily co-operate with their fellow citizens, now friendly to the scheme, as though they had been among its first ad- vocates. . “ Who will the Rail Road benefit ?”— Why here is a field so wide that we des- pair of exploring it. But as we cast an eye over it and see the thousands of in- dustrious men and women toiling on their farms and in their shops, and preying up- on each other, shut up, in limits prescrib- ed by great distance from that natural out-let, the seaboard, with no prospect of relief except by Rail Road, we at once perceive that this great enterprise is to benefit every man and woman go situated.

He died at Nashville, the 15th instant, having less than from $10 to $15 a day, amounting, in a year, toa large sum, not less than from $3,000 to $4,000 ; no inconsiderable item in the an- nual expenses.

CAPTURE OF A SLAVER. ing particulars of the capture of the schooner | Zenobia, of Baltimore : | On the 23d of March, 1849, arrived at St. | [elena a schooner called the Zenobia, of Bal. which vessel had been captured by H. B. M. sloop Philomel, on the west coast of Af. rica, with a cargo of slaves numbering 550, (33 of whom were females,) the vessel not be- ing over one hundred tons burden. She was eleven days on her passage to St. Helena, and | lost ten or eleven of them. ‘These poor crea- tures were in a perfect stale of nudity, and /many of them (the women in particular) bear- ' ing the brands of a hot iron recently impressed jon their breasts. ‘I'he vessel being so small, | and the number of negroes so great it was | next to impossibility to go from one end of the | vessel to the other. | “It appears that when the schooner was dispatched by the Philomel she was about giv. ing chase to an American brig which had just gone into port on the coast of Africa, suspected negroes. It is only lately that a brig has been brought to St. Helena with upwards of five hundred slaves on board, . Her name was Har. riet, lately of Philadelphia, and commanded by Captain Duling, who had sold the vessel at Ambrez to a Brazilian, leaving the crew, (.A- | mericans,) eight in number, on board to sbifi for them themselves, and, being unable to get away from the coast, were obliged to re- main in the vessel, and were captured by H.

This opinion was given by Mr. Calhoun twenty-seven years ago: he has doubtless changed his opin- ion on this question, as his conduct for some years past will show. But as soon as the fact was brought to light, he drop- ed his resolutions, and they have been permitted to rest ever since, proving that Mr. Calhoun had entirely forgotten that he ever maintained the power of Congress to legislate on the subject or that he thought that with the death of Mr. Mon- roe that written opinion also become ex- tinct. And that he now might venture to make himself appear more devoted to the South on this vexatious question than all the rest of her sons. The knowledge of the existence of this opinion was first produced by Mr. West- cot, of Florida, and afterwards by Mr. Dix, of New York. Taking the speech as a whole, it is one replete with interesting historical infor- mation, and bears down upon Mr. Cal- houn with a vengeance and from the admission of Missouri, which he makes, will, we think, trouble Mr. Calhoun, no little to extricate himself, with all his lo- author, with’ a “sketch Py the vices of the late Hon.

Cholera and Small Pox.—This community has been twice grievously wronged by the cir. culation in the Western counties of false re. ports relative to its health. First, we bad the Small Pox here, some half dozen cases, we believe. Next, we see thet it is reported in Lincoln, that we have the Cholera, “ four cas. es’ having occurred. We have once before contradicted the report of Small Pox existing here. It is entirely without foundation. And we now assure the public that we are as clear of Cholera as we are of Small Pox. Nocase of the Asiatic Cholera has occurred here ; nor have we had a death in Salisbury from any cause within two weeks. Our Town is re. markably healthy ; and as an evidence of this our Physicians are all nearly idle. Some of them are absent from Town, either hunting up business elsewhere, or are seeking their plea. sure abroad. Others have just returned after an absence of several days, and one or two, we understand, are prepared to go visiting out of the county. We hope this statement will silence the injurious reports alluded to; and that no person will be prevented by them from coming here, whose business or pleasure may either call or invite them to do so. Minister to Spain.—Hon. D. M. Bar- ringer, has been appointed by the Presi- dent, Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain, in place of Ex-Governor Graham, who declined the appointment. Small Pox.—We have been requested by a citizen of Lexington to contradict the rumor of the existence of Small Pox in that Town. It is entirely false ; there is not now, nor has there, at any time, been a case of the disease there. THE SALISBURY CONVENTION. There has never been, we venture to say a voluntary assemblage of the citizens of North Carolina comprising more of zeal, ability, lib- erality of sentiment and devotion to the Stale, than the Convention which met at Salisbury the 14th of this month. Second only in impor- tance and in its power over public opinion to the legislative body which granted the Central Railroad charter, the result of ite deliberativns have been looked to as controling, so far as pa'- liamentary deliberation can control, ibe future destiny of N. Carolina. We trust that its ac- tion will meet the expectations of the friends of | Locofocos generally, most of them having | given in their adhesion to the Calhoun lamenting that he should have seen pro- per to differ with the South Carolina Sen- _ator on this point, and intimating in pretty -plain terms, that his prospect for political | promotion is at anend. | For the information which this speech ‘ig distinguished, we shall give shortly /some extracts or the whole, if it can be | found convenient.

The ordinary occupations here are gold dig. | ging, regular trading, speculating, and gamb- ling. have been laid out, as Benicia, Stockton, Sac. ramento City, &c., and the lots sold at very high | prices. Titles are but little inquired into ; there is no doubt that they are generally bad. Here a man will do almost any thing to make money, because there is no power tocall him to | account. Even official and professional em. ployments are assumed by those not having the least rightful pretentions to them, who in this way extort thousands of dojlars per month from the multitudes of strangers who come here.— Every man is devoted to one pursuit, the acqui- sition of gold, and is not scrupulous as to the | means employed. There is no society, no such thing as friend- ship, no pleasure of any kind ; there is no reli- gion recognized in practice, and no Divinity worshiped but gold, and to its shrine multitudes of pilgrims are daily flocking. Although the country is without government, it is not abso. jately without order—even better than existed at any time befure it was annexed to the Uni- ted States, and beiter than exists now in Mexi- | co or any other of the South American Repub- lics, Every man goes well armed, and as great insults and injuries are pretly sure to be follow- ed by instant revenge, without any chance of escape by “the law’s delay,” they are not very frequently committed. Murders, larcenies, and robberies, if the offender is caught, are punish. ed with great severity, after a trial by jury in due form. At the mines, as they have no pris- ons, hanging is the only mode of punishment. | Upon the whole, life is considered tolerably se- cure, and property, too, when properly watched and guarded by the owner. But the effects of absentees, though they might not be feloniously stolen “contrary to the form of the statute,” would be plundered and Jost to the owner to all intents and purposes. The “diggers” are generally very success- ful; that is, strong healthy men accustomed to hard labor. and some much more, some less. It is a haz- ardous business, however. Some are robbed, some lose their health, and some their lives.— It is calculated that the quantity of gold which has gone out of the country since the mines were discovered is in value about seven mill. ions of dollars. In California there is an utter subversion of | the order of Society as it exists in the old States, and a confusion of all ranks and distinctions.— | But in the state of affairs there is one peculiar. ity that pleases me. Labor is unshackled and unoppressed ; it receives its full recomponse. The roughest looking “customers” and the most hardy and laborious are likely to havo the most of the “ dust” here, and as this commands | respect, they are the aristocracy of California. | A cook or a house steward commands in this | country a higher salary than the Governor of, New York, and an industrious drayman, with | his cart and mule, is better paid than the Sec. retary of the United State. The salary of the postmaster at San Francisco is less than the lawndress would exact for washing his linen, and a good carpenter gets a higher compensa-— tion for bis labor thant the commander.in-chief of the squadron. The climate at San Francisco and other | places on the coast is the most disagreeable | that I know of. > 8€asons, and the (emperature varies sometimes ‘forty degrees in a day. The summers are Worse than the winters. Every body suffers greatly on first arriving here. One requires warm clothing at alltimes. Although the cli- Mae is severe and disagreeable, I think it may be considered generally healthy, excepting in the Sacramento valley. A CAUSE GIVEN. Mr. R. H.
