At the lato meeting of the President and irectors of the Wilmington, C harlotte ami irtctor.. hn y ii b . . Kuthcrford Rail Road, held m dmington, it was decided to commence locating the Western portion of the Road immediately, beginning at some point near Charlotte. On the Eastern end the road is to be locat ed from Wilmington 96 miles Westward. This portion of the route is perfectly straight an "air line," as the engineers term it an unheard of thing in the history of rail ways. The Wilmingt onianfl ure determined to have the road to Charlotte at all events, and they are not the men to fail in an enter prise of such importance, not only to their flourishing city, but to the State at large. While one part of the corps of Engineers are engaged in locating the road, the exper imental survey will be continued by another Bet, in order to fac ilitate the work as much as possible. All joint expenses of the company to be paid in the ration of two-thirds by the Eas tern end, and one-third by the Western por tion of the Road. The .-t.ick on this part of the Road is still deficient about $18,000. Will Rutherford take that stock ? Owing to the inclemency of the weather, .Mr. Gardiner, the assistant Engineer, will not commence locating the Rail Road in this County at present. He is now in Lin coln making examinations there, of the sev eral proposed routes, 6cc. Rutherford Ea- MINISTER TO ENGLAND. Ceo. M. Dallas has been confirmed by the Y S. Semite, ns minister to England, in the place of Mr. Buchanan, who, it is stated, will return homo sometime this pres month. Mr. Dallis1 services whilst minister to Russia, his eminent political position, hav ing tilled the second office in the gift of the people, make his appointment at this time, as the successor of Mr. Buchanan, eminent ly proper. The appointment will receive the approval of our citizens, and command the respect abroad due to the representative of the nation. Our relations with England at this time are peculiar, if not dangerously involved. The question at issue require enlarged knowledge, legal ability and prac tical statesmanship. Mr. Dallis' profession as an eminent lawyer, his public character and political experience, are all so many guarantees that in his hands the interna tional issues so ably discussed by his pre decessor will be properly sustained, and the policy and interest of the United States be enforced with energy and discretion. NICARAGUA AND WALKER A letter received at Truxillo, makes some statements in regard to the capture, by Walker, of the Town of Granada, Nicara gua, (said to be tho strongest place in the country, having a population of ten thou sand,) which we have not seen before. When Walker entered the place at the head of about fifty Americans, he found Chomor ro. the President of the Republic, with his officers in a ball room. Entering the room, Walker waved his sword in the air, crying out, 'Hurrah for Democracy," and took all present prisoners. Before he left the room Chomorro was compelled to sirn articles of capitulation, but afterwards, rinding how small M as tho force to which he had sur rounded, he sent written orders to the offi cer in command not to give up the place. This letter by some means reached the hands of Walker, as he was entering n church with Chomorro. He read and placed the letter in his pocket, and after the services were over he inquired of Chomorro if he wrote it, and he did not deny it. A drum head court martial was summoned, by whose sentence Chomorro and fifteen of his officers were shot. Gen. Walker, of Nicaragua, has provided j well for all the officers of his army. He j pays the following salaries: Commander- in-Chief, 6."00 per month; Brigadier Gen eral, $300; Colonel, $200; Lieutenant Colonel, $175; Major, $140; Captain, $100; Lieutenant, $80; Second Lieutenant, $70; First Sergeant. $32.50; Second Sergeant, $27.50 : soldiers in the ranks, $25.

Banner, of the 19th, ! has the following comfirmation of the defeat ! of the black Emperor of Hayti: By the arrival of the steamer Buzzard, ! yesterday, we learn that the expedition which was fitted out by the Emperor Soulouque j for the invasion of the Spanish side of Sar. ; Domingo had met tho Dominican forces; and that a bloody battle took place between the opposing armies.

ST. DOMINGO. The account which we published Satur day, from the Philadelphia Ledger, of the deplorable social, political and commercial condition of the Island of Hayti, is a nut which the Abolitionists may crack at their leisure. The exports of the island, which, as a slave colony, have risen as high as two hundred and five millions of francs, had been gradually falling since Haytien inde pendence was declared, till thoy have now sunk as low as three millions and a half! The people are fast relapsing into African barbarism. Even in the brute quality of valor they seem to have degenerated below the condition of the Chinese. We believe the pages of history may be searched in vain for an army of eighteen thousand men defeated by four hundred, as was that of Fausten the other day by a handful of Do minicans. The social and commercial deterioration of Hayti has a parallel in that of Jamaica, and of every other island where negro slave ry has been abolished. They were all in a high state of prosperity whilst slavery con tinued, notwithstanding the unrelenting se verity with which English and French mas ters have always treated their slaves. But freedom has ruined the islands commerci ally, socially, physically and morally. In the present condition of Hayti, we see the awful transformation which the South would exhibit if the schemes of the Abolitionists could prevail in this country. No men would be greater losers than those very Northern manufacturers who are making such an eternal pother about tho curse of slavery. If the South should be ever driven to the wall, and threatened with the dire consummation of the schemes of her ene mies, she could inflict no more terrible re tribution upon her enemies than to drive from her soil the laborers by whose toil alone her staples can be cultivated, and, like the strong man shaking the pillars of the temple, involve her enemies and herself in a common ruin. Richmond Dispatch. SHOCKING TRAGEDY. A most shocking tragedy was enacted at Jefferson city, Missouri, on Tuesday even ing, of which the following are the particu lars : Mr. Francis Turner, a middle-aged man, and a house painter by profession, and who amassed a comfortable property, a few months since married a young and beautiful woman," to whom ho was tenderly attached. Of late, however, it is said, he had become jealous of her, and treated her with great harshness. For several days past he had been very melancholy, and neg lected his business, and was constantly un der the influence of liquor. On Thursday evening, about G o'clock, he went home, entered the parlor where his wife was seated by tho fire, approached her in a ferocious manner, and exclaimed, "We've lived long enough !" and instantly drew a revolver and pointed it at her, but as he hesitated somewhat, it gave her time to fly through an open doorway and close the door after her. He attempted to push open the door, but she placed herself firm ly against it, and successfully resisted his efforts. In a few minutes she heard the dis charge of a pistol, and a fall upon the floor. She then raised an alarm, and some of the neighbors entering the apartment with her, found the unfortunate man in the last ago nies of death. He had fired a ball through his brain. The deceased was, ordinarily, a temperate, industrious and respectable ci tizen. R ailroad Accident and Loss of Life. The 11 o'clock train which left Philadel- phia for Harrisburg, Pa., on the 4th instant, was thrown from the track near Whitehall, and one man killed and 27 wounded. The accident occurred from the breuking of a rail. The passenger car took fire from the stove and was destroyed. The gentleman killed is believed to be Abraham B. Hart, of the firm of Hart & Son, Cincinnati. Railroad Accident. When the pas- senger train on the t harlotte and South ,. ., , Carolina Railroad, yesterday morning, was about seven miles from Columbia, two cars flew the track, one of which was thrown down a bank. No one was seriously injured, though the cars were considerably broken. The cause of the accident could not be as- certained, though it was supposed the locomotive displaced a bar of iron on the track. Carolinian, February 6. Death of Professor Henry. The Columbia papers record the death of Pro fessor Robert Henry, of the South Carolina College, which occurred on the Gth instant, after a short illness- work upon it, and two huudrtd more on their way out. The whole distance is 180 miles. The cost of construction is estimated atthree millions of dollars. The State gives the right of way. NORTH CAROLINA. 12, 1856. The Weather. No one can read the following paragraph, from the Nebraskiau of the 19th ult., without a shiver : "Too cold to thaw, too cold to snow, too cold for outdoor business ; too cold for en joyment, too cold to go to bed, too cold to get up, too cold for anything but to freeze. Frozen ears, frozen noses, frozen toes, and frozen potatoes are quite common. Every body complains of the cold ; everybody sleeps cold even married couples complain of a coldness between them. People go trotting about the streets with huge shawls, blankets, and buffalo robes muffled closely over their heads and shoulders, and so com pletely bundled up that they cannot possi bly be recognized. The mercury in the thermometer at no time during last week has been above zero. On Tuesday morn ing last it stood at 25., and yesterday 23 deg. below zero. The Largest Knows Horse. The great Rocky Mountain Horse, being the largest equinal animal in the world, is daily attracting large crowds to his place of ex hibition on Camp street, near Canal. He is 21 hands in height, and weighs 2,060 pounds. Besides his large size, he has other qualities which make him one of the most interesting curiosities now in the city. He is perfectly docile, and is pronounced by competent judges to be the most regularly formed and handsomest horse ever seen. Judges of horses, and naturalists particularly, should pay him a visit. N. O. True Delta. Large Hog. Maj. A. J. Hix brought to Barnwell (S. C.) market, on Wednesday last, a hog weighing 570 pounds, which, at 8 cents per lb., netted $45.60. The Power of Love. Tho Toledo (Ohio) Blade says that a woman who had laid in jail for several weeks on a charge of larceny, obtained- her liberty the other day by prevailing on the man from whom she stole tho property to marry her.

The Louisville, Ky., Courier says that so far 332, 000 hogs have been slaughtered around the falls ; an increase of upwards of 48,000 over last season. Advertising. The advertising in the London Times, amounts to not less than $30,000 per week. Professor Holloway's Pills are advertising to the amount of $150,- 000 annually, and several establishments pay from $20,000 to $50,000 per year. Repeal of the Liquor Law.

Most people think there are cares enough in the world, and yet many are very indus trious to increase them. One of the readiest ways of doing this is to quarrel with a neigh bor. A bad bargain may vex a man for a week; and a bad debt may trouble him .for a month ; but a quarrel with his neighbors will keep him in hot water all tho year round. Aaron Hands delights in fowls, and his cocks and hens are always scratching up the flowers of his neighbor, William Wilkes, who has a mischievous cat that now and then runs off with a chicken. The consequence is, that Win. Wilkes is one half the day oc cupied in driving away the fowls, and threa tening to screw their long ugly necks off ; while Aaron Hands, in his periodical out breaks, invariably vows to skin his neigh bor's cat, as sure as he can lay hold of him. Neighbors ! neighbors ! why can you not be at peace ? Not all tho fowls you can rear, and tho flowers you can grow, will make amends for a life of anger, hatred, malice or uncharitableness. Come to some kind-hearted understanding one with anoth er, and dwell in peace. Upton, the refiner, has a smoky chimney, that sets him and all the neighborhood by the ears. The people around abuse him without mercy, complaining that they are poisoned, and declaring that they will in dict him at the sessions. Upton fiercely sets them at defiance, on the ground that his chimney did not come to them, but they came to his chimney. CORN BREAD A NEW RECIEPE. Every body who has been at tho Mansion House, at Buffalo, N. Y., has learned the luxury of the corn bread there provided. The clerk is often taxed to write directiens for home manufacture, and I thus procured a reciepe for domestic use, which I copy for you, so that those who wish may try a piece of bread from the Mansion House : One quart of sour milk, one tablespoonful of sakeratns, four ounces of butter, three table spoonsful of flour, three eggs, and corn-meal sufficient to make a stiff batter. Ex. THE PROGRESS OF ABOLITIONISM. At this time, when we have but recently been informed how our friends, and the friends of the Consti tution, have Loan 6tricken down in the fight by an unscrupu lous majority, and how a party, avowedly hostile to us and our institutions, has finally triumphed in the popular branch of Con gress, well may we recur to the rise and progress of that sentiment which now con trols a high department of our Government, and threatens the peace of an entire section of the couutrv. It was in the year 1835 that systematic attacks were first made upon the "peculiar institutions" of the South, with the view of disturbing tho existing relations between its two races. Before that time, in consequence of the fanatical tendency of the Northern mind, there had sprung up a feeling of hostility to African slavery, but this did not exhibit itself in action until a later period. Finally, however, Abolition societies were organized, Abolition presses established, and Abolition lecturers sent forth to fan the rising flame of fanaticism. Then began that warfare on our section which is still continued. Next came petitions to Con gross from the North to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and to prohibit the "internal slave trade" between the States. The petitions having been received, the work of agitation was commenced in earnest, and the band of fanatics grow gradually stronger and stronger. We next find them controlling several of the Northern Legislatures, and bringing about the abroga tion, in effect, of that clause of the Consti tution which provides for the delivery of fugitive slaves. Next they call upon Con gress to abolish slavery in all places where that body has exclusive power of legislation. Then followed petitions and audacious reso lutions of popular assemblages as well as legislative bodies to exclude the Southern members of the Confederacy from newly acquired territory, and to prevent the ad mission of any more slave States in the Union. In the meantime, that party originally small in number was growing in strength and in fluence, and has continued to grow until now it exerts a controlling influence over the Northern masses. The sentiment of anti-slavery is indeed instilled into the minds and lodged in the very hearts of the Northern people. It is preached from the pulpit, and furnishes texts for political sermons. It is taught in schools, and affords subjects for youthful declamation. It emanates from the chair of the Professor, and offers themes for grave discourse. It pervades both legis lative and executive councils, and has even affected judicial decisions. It has called into being a large and powerful and domi nant party. And lastly, it has entered the halls of the United States House of Repre sentatives, and occupied the Speaker's chair. Such has been the progress of fanaticism up to this time, and who can doubt that un less opposed by some effective measure, it will continue to move on to the accomplish ment of its fell purposes. And now, we would ask, how long will the Southern States remain passive under such unmistakable $2 PER ANNUM In Advance. VOIUMEU.

AVill they defer a close union among themselves until Aboli tionism shall enter the Senate hall, and rise to the Presidential chair ? Now that the House of Representatives is nbolitionized and under the control of their bitter ene mies, will not the imperilled States of tho South draw near together in close fellow ship? Now that a common danger threatens them, will not the voice of faction be hushed within their borders, and Whigs, Democrats, and Americans all unite to form one party the party of the South and the Consti tution ? Let us have this "consummation so de voutly to be wished," and the Southern States shall become strong. Then, like the barons of England in similar circumstances, shall they bo able to demand their rights under the magna charta of tho land, or, failing to secure these, to dissolvo their connexion with a hostile and lawless sec tion. Glorious, indeed, according to our view, would be tho resultsof Southern Union. Let this measure but be perfected, and wo will have attained, politically, tho "ouo thing needful." Strength and confidence shall then succeed to doubt and weakness, and we of the South be able to "go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart." Columbia Caro linian. ss THE UNION. The message of Governor Herbert, of Louisiana, relating to federal relations, con cludes as follows : The wild spirit of fanaticism which has, for many years, disturbed the repose of tho country, has steadily incroased in power and influence. It controls the councils of several States, nullifies the laws of Con gress enacted for the protection of our property, and resists the execution of them even to the shedding of blood. It has grown so powerful that it now aspires to control the Federal Legislature. The fact can no longer be concealed, however much it may be regretted. The slaveholding States are warned in time; they should be prepared for the issue. If it must come, the sooner the better. The time for concession on our part and compromises has past. If tho Union e.anuot be maintained upon the just and wholesome principles of the constitution, concessions nnd compromises will only retard its dissolution, not save it. They have had, thus far, no other result than to encourage attack aud to increase tho numbers of abolitionists. It would, however, be premature to suggest practical measures of resistance or retaliation. The present session of Congress will develop fully the plans of that party. Your own action must depend, in a great measure, upon the course which they shall pursue. Tho responsibility will be upon those who have forced us, in defence of our most sacred rights, of our honor and of our very existence, to resort, to extreme remedies. THE GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI ON SLAVERY AND KANSAS. Gov. McRea, of Mississsppi, in his Mes sage to the Legislature of that State, now in session, speaks in plain terms his opin ions on the subject of slavery. He scuds to the Legislature tho resolutions received from the Legislatures of Maine, Connecti cut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and says : I therefore recommend to the Legislature, in response to the resolutions of Maine, to return to her resolutions uuuuimously reaf firming the position of Mississippi, with a calm, temperate and dignified exposition of our rights, and our determination to main tain them at all hazards. If, then, Maine and our Northern sisters shall make, tho issue of the Union with us upon the Consti tution, the responsibility will be with them and the right with us, whatever may be the result. The difficulties in the Territory of Kansas have produced much excitement iu the country, and awakened a feeling of deep interest among the people of the Southern States. Fully impressed with the impor tance of scouring that Territory to our in terests, and for the extension of our institu tions, after the most mature reflection, I have not been able to see how the State, in her sovereign capacity, can take measures to effect that object. Yet I am ready to co operate with the Legislature, in any consti tutional measure which their wisdom may suggest, or their better judgment devise, to secure so desirable and important a re sult. Were it in the sphere of my duty to address the people on this subject, I would make every appeal to them which would a rouse their sympathies or their interests to encourage the spirit and aid the progress of emigration to that Territory. Tb people of the South have it in their power to se cure it, and they hare only to make the effort to do it. Numbers may come there from the free States, but the Southern emi grants can control it, not by force, but by the irresistable energy of their determina tion and their will.
