WESTERN IITIMOCIIAT, CHARLOTTE, 1ST. C cmocraf. niKLoin:, nr. c. TucMlay, November 33, 1M.1H. LEGISLATURE. V publish pretty full proceedinjrs of the Ie jjdatare, which met on Monday the 15th. It will 1 seen that Mr Clark of Edgecombe, was elected Speaker of the Senate, and Mr Settle of Itoeking Iiam, Speaker of the House. Of course they are J,., tli democrats, and are gentlemen well qualified for those honorable and responsible positions. TIm- "Id Clerk and 1 oor-keepers were re-elected. Mr Cantwell, the Clerk of the House, will make an excellent officer, as the aide and satisfactory man ner in which lie discharged the duty at the last Fessiofl L'uarantees. He was very accommodating in transmitting legislative documents to editors, ;,! v- understand he will again supply them, if I lay will send him their papers during the session. Tli.- following letter will he found to contain the latest items from llaleigh : CORRESPONDENCE OF TIIE DEM 'It AT.

The former beat the latter one vote, so rumor says. Cantwell will make a good i. Ilin r. In the am us, for Speaker of the Senate, T. D. McDowell of Bladen, and Mr Clark of Edgecombe. ere the candidates; Clark was selected, and w ill pre side with ability. Had the choice fell upon McDowell he, also, aould have made an efficient officer, tor there is no better informed member than he is, and no one run has wanner friends. Vour readers w ill see by the proceedings that several iinMrtaat Kills have already been introduced. One fur the removal of the free acgroes from the State requir ing Miein to leave in a certain time or he sold. The Greensboro and Danville Railroad hill was introduced int.. the Senate ly Mr Boyd of Rockingham. Also, Mr Itlcdsoe of Wake introduced a hill to amend the Con stitution in regard to taxation, makiag an ad valorem according to value system. Of course the East w ill resist this, as it would rreatly increase the tax on ne groes. Bills were also introduced to exempt one slave from execution; to abolish land qualification for Jurors; ami to charter a Railroad running from Dock Town to conneet w ith the Roads east of the Blae Ridge. Thus Mm w ill see that there w ill tie some hard work for the assembled wisdom, which w ill be pretty warm, too. On Thursday, Mr Humphrey. in the Senate, introduc ed a hill to permit free negroes to choose masters and become slaves. Kills have been introduced in both Houses, by mem bers from Cumberland, to aid the Western Railroad running from Fayetteville to the Coal Fields. It is right thai the Legislature should do something for this work. Itufus Page, the present incumbent, has been elected Secretary of State. C H Brogdea, present incumbent, bas Iteea re-elected Comptroller. An effort was made in the House to c tablish the rule known as the previous question," but failed John Kerr made a speech against it. Mr llrotrh has introduced a bill making the betting na elections a misdemcaaor. Also, a bill to previa! the passage of (tank bills of a less denomination than $3. Mi llryson introduced a bill to pay membera of the l.'-jri-lature $200, instead of the present pay. and de dm i ; for every day's absence. It ought to pass.

In the Raleigh papers we find abstracts of the pro ceedings of this body, which met on the 10th inst. The Rev. James UcDaaiel presided. About 200 delegates were present. About 5,000 were collected for endow ing a Theological Seminary, $400 for foreign missions, and $400 for domestic missions. A committee was ap pointed to memorialize Congress in reference to the Chaplaincies of the Army and Navy, protesting against the Government allow ing the Episcopalian denomina tion to monopolize those places, and also complaining ed for the use of each member. HOUSE. Mr Ferebee offered a resolution that the Speaker id' the House of Commons be directed to invite a minister of the gospel, selected alter nately from one of the denominations in the City, to open the sittings of the House with prayer, and that this resolution be adopted as one of the stand ing rules of the House. Mr Ferebee supported his resolution on account of its moral hearing upon our character as a christian people. Our laws re quire every individual to recognize a superintend ing Dower, and even heathen, as well as christian nations, consider themselves responsible to a Su perior Being. It therefore became us, as a chris tian people, to adopt this resolution. It had been " .1... .,... i:.,i.i i ot a gross insult ottered the only Haptist minister in the J 1 . .

The Governor Mesrage Ramsay, Honston, Uorretf, Ashe, Leach, and others participated. The terra "thall be opened by prayer," was objected to on the ground of pos sible delay in the case of ministers failing to attend; but ultimately a modification providing that the daily sessions "may" be opened by prayer, &c, was adopted by the committee, and the Report as modified was concurred in.

AST" The annual meeting of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad Co. was held last week. From the lleport of the President, we learn that the receipts of the Road for the year ending Sept. 30th 1858, have been 382,101 74; of which there has been derived from through travel $139,813 74; from way travel $70,897 Oo; up freights and minor sources 843,289 32; down freights S83,G41 G3; Mails, 43,750 00. Tiie expenditures (both or dinary and extraordinary) for operating the road have been 223,007 40, leaving nett. revenue equal to 150,124 25. There appears to be a diminution in receipts as compared with those of the previous year of $80, 324 18, or more properly of $72,624 18, allow ance being made for certain accidental sums in cluded in the previous year. The main decrease has been in thorough travel, which accounts for $63,314 17 of the falling off. The next impor tant decrease has been in the matter of up freight. T. D. Walker was elected President of the Road, Mr Mullins declining a re-election. TO THK PUBLIC. Having disposed of our FOUNDRY and MACHINE SHOP to Mr J. A.
