ituorportttioH of Charlotte.
Having seen in tlie S. C. Cltrkb' Ofticc the Act of
lucorporatton of the I'own of Charlotte, wr
were induced to copy it into tlie columns of the
Journal, witli the several anieudmentii then to.
lX>ub(less many of our citiicnii have never had
an opportunity of seeing it, and perhaps we arc

TO SAVE .SEEDS.
But, vrhile these ojKjrations must be speedi

to the sufferer, without one moment’s delay,
for lij’o, though apparently cxtinct, may be
saved, if timely medical aid be called in.

TRAVELLING MEMORANDA.
Having, last week, busine«8 in PhiladeN
phia, Baltimore, and the city of Washing*
ton, I started at 6 A. M. on Monday, la
order to show the facilities afforded tlio
present day, of doing much business in a
short time, I send you a sketch of my ex*
cursion.
Lef\ New-York at 6 A. !VI. on Monday
—arrived at Philadelphia at 5 P. M.—call
ed on four persons—settled my business
with them by 9—went to bed, and started
on Tuenday morning at 6 for Baltimore,
where I arrived at 5 P. M.—got through
with iny business there at half past 9—went
to bed—started at 4 A. M. on Wedneidayy
for Washington, and arrived at a little af*
ter 9 A. M.—dressed, called on the Presi
dent, and finished my busioeM with him—
dined at Gadsby’s—took a hack in the af
ternoon, rode several miles, and completed
my business with four persons—took tea
with a friend—slept at Gadsby’s—started
at four on Thursday on my return—arrived
at Baltimore at 10—visited the Cathedral,
Washington Monument, the W'ater Works,
dcc. before dinner—dined at Bamuui’s splen
did Hotel—partook of a bottle of wine w itli
three All -uiians—at 3 mounted a car, with
22 passengers, on the Rail Road, and visited
Cllicott’s Mills, 13 miles from Baltimore—
returned to Baltimore before dark—took tea,
and afterwards, in a hack, visted tlie vene.m-
ble !Vir. Carroll, of Carrollton—returned to
Bamum’s—went to bed, and started for
Philadelphia, where I arrived at half past
0, P. M.—made several friendly visits—
went to bed—started on Saturday, and
reached New-York at half past 5 the same
day. W'as thus absent nearly six days—
travelling about 600 miles, and completing
all my business, at the expense of forty doU
lars and seventy-nine cents.
The observations I made were, that Bal
timore and Philadelphia are looking up.—
In both placcs the bustk of business re
minded me of home—that is to say, New-
York. The Canal which connects the Del
aware with the Chesapeake, through which
I passed in two hours, is a great and useful
work. The rail-road, which already pass
es several miles beyond Ellicott’s mills, is a
most delightful and useful mode of convey,
ance—the scenery is of the most pictur
esque character, and when in June tlie lo-
co-motives are in operation, must attract tho
attentloo of aU tr«ve»et».—My visit to Mr.
CarrolT must interestiag aad gratify ing
—^n the eve of 94 years of age, such good
health, such a flow of spirits, and so much
graceful suavity could not have been anti
cipated. Of this man, so well known, eu-
logium could not do justice. Travellers
cannot fare better, in this route, than m
putting up at the Hotel opposite the I'. S.
Bank in Philadelphia, at Barnum's in Bal
timore, and at Gadsby’s, in Washington.
'I'he car in which I took my passage to
Ellicott’s Mills, (four others in coinpany)
contained 22 passengers, drawn by one horsc’,
and the time in going the 13 miles, was ono
hour and a quarter. By the first of July
the locomotives will be in operation upon
the Rail Road, when the same distance w ill
be travelled in 30 minutes. This road is
finished nine miles beyond Ellicott’s, and it
is intended by the stockholders to be car
ried through to the State of Ohio. Tho
expense thus far has been about $40,000 a
mile; but the residue will be finished for a
much less sum.
Yours, dcc. J. L.
Curionts reasoning against Rail-roads.—
A writer of the nullification school, in tho
Charleston .Mercury, argues ve y learnedly
against the construction of the Charleston
Rail-road, into the interior of that State, 011
the ground that it would only facilitate the
transport of cotton to New York, Philadel
phia and Boston. Had they not better
place a long chain across Charleston har
bor at once, and stop all navigation with the
rascally States north of them ?

March of Intellect.—A Mr. Lewis
George Wells, a gentle man of color, haa
commenced a course of lectures at Balti
more on Phrenology. In his carte de in-
t'itation, he includes “ ladies and gentlemen
of color, and others.'' By the “ others,”
we presume he means the whites. This
distinction is something like the colloquy of
a fellow-citizen of the West, who ,.ddress-
ed the Duke of Saxe Weimar thus: “ Arc
you the man that arrived here last night,
because I am the what drove you,
and have called for the fare.”—Ibidem.
Dr. B. , of New .Tersej-, is not only
one of the most learned, exporieiiced, and
sagacious physicians in this country, but
the most free from pedantr)' and pretence.
A gentleman once asked him the reast>a
why certain diseases, such as measles,
whooping cough, and small pox, could only
be had but once. After considering a mo
ment, the Doctor replied, “Ifyou will tell
me why people have them once, thou I will
tell YOU why they never have tUvm twice.’’
