(Tay’s Land Bill would have eoninianded. How mueh more reprehensible thi.-^ than Gov. Johnston's act, which tlie Union now denounces, and which we do not defend. A Model Bail Boap.—The Editor of the IVtersburg Intelligencer thus describes the eondition of the Raleigh and Gaston Bail Road:— “A recent trip over this road has filleil us with wonder and admiration. We speak seriously when we f>ay, that if it eouhl b‘ displavi'd at the World's Fair, it would carry off the palm from all comjM'titors, and throw even the Hiainond, known as the “Light of the World,” into a dark shade. There is scarcely a picec of iron on it of six feet continuous length. But what of that? I’he cars jump from the iron to the wood rail, ther skip a while on mother eartti, anl then jumj) fiercely on a snake-hend, mash it d(>wn, and go on their way rejoicing in a speed of some eight miles an hour. As to a “run oft,” tiie Kngineer diK's not care the smack of his finger for that. He is used to it, and can, with his assistants, replace a train before tin- snoozing pasxMiger knows that it has eucounten'd an^’ thing more formidable than an ordinary bump in a contest with a snake-head. Such was our opinion of the Engineer’s skill, that, in a moment of ecstatic admiration, we gra.-iped him by his brawny haml, and told him that it w.is our opinion he could carry the train foxdiunt- ing, or win the jirize in a steeple chas«-.— There never was such travelling, over such a road, .'-iiice portion of its own party has “acted horri- bl}’.” This, as we have often said, was our only object. We can well afford to pass by the Journal’s misrepresentations of this paper. To such a course on the jtart of the Loeofocos of this State, we have long been accustomed, and consider it as evidence that we have done our duty. One instance however, we will cite, be- eau.xe it has more than a mere ]>ersoiial bearing. In the Observer of the ir)th inst. we said, that neither Bigler nor the Penn sylvanian had ventured to answer the home (piestions of the North American, which had been repeated to them almost daily for weeks. To this the Journal of Saturday last replies:— ‘‘To .show how far the Pennsylvanian and Col. Bigler are mum, we extract from that papt'r of the l-’ith, as follow.^, and we beg the Oliserver to mark how the truth put.s down the slanders of the North A- ineriean.” Here it will be seen that the Journal (juotes the Pennsylvanian of the l.lth, to disprove a statement made by us on the very same day, which every one will see was perfectly true when we published it. We coiild not of cour.e know on the loth what the Pennsylvanian .aid on that day; and yet the flournal jirates about “the truth,” and “slanders”! Now it is true that the ]Vnnsylvaniaii, on the loth, did attiinjit a reply to stDur of the tjuestions so often ]>ut by the North American. But lihjh r hns iit rer i/» t (Imtr (utdess he has done it since the date of our last accounts from IMiiladidphia.) Ih is still 7)110}).

There the house, again “considereil,” read a se- 'vas one exchange if shots with j)istols at cond and a third time, and pa.^^^tHl without ojiposition. Every body was in favor tf it. 'I’he very next business was a motion by Mr. liigler, whieh shows that he was ]>re- .«eiit when the bill jnissed. Now the fjues- i tioii is, did Bigler vote lor it? And, as ' the yeas and nays were not called for, the i Journal and its JiOcofo‘o assfxiates hav,' the hardihood to a.^.sert that he did not vote for it. Th'd oui/ hothf cote for it? we ask. If any member voted for it, it is evi dent Bigler did, for all the members of tlu* Senate did alike. If one voted for it, at/ did, for not a vtiice was raised against it. If Bigler did not vote for it, as contended by the Jounial, no one did, and the law was not legally passed, for the constitution of Pt'unsyh aiiia requires a majority of both Houses to vote for a bill to j)ass it. Now every one knows, that in all liCgislative bodies many bills are passed and become laws without a tenth j'art of the members voting for them, if this Locofoco doctrine be true, that a man don’t vote for a bill unless hi.x name is recorded in its favor. But the doctrine is not true. And Bigler, according to the Si^nate Journal, voted for the bill, if any one did. Now what must be thought of a man, who is pre.sent when a bill passes, who si lently a.ssents to its pas.'^age, and then al lows his friends to do( lare that he lid not vote for it, becaiuse his name i.-:' not recorded (m the Journal?

If all the work should be executed in as durable a manner as that at the (iulf, 1 do not think much fear need be apprehended from freshets. Nothing is said here about the Election. No interest seems to Im> felt in it so far as regarils tliis (,’ounty. It is thought, how ever, that, this being a leisure season of the 3’car, a full vote will be polleil. It is very healthy in this immediate iieigliborhood, but great mortality has pre- j vailed in some parts of the county, from Dysentery in an epidemic form. rV new arrangement of the mail has ju.st on what ground? Both were Locoft eo (’on- veiitions. Wilmot was specially honored as a member of (Uie of them, and in truth the more important one to the South, for >ts busin*-ss was to u'jminate Locofoco can- diilates for the Judicial offices; and we are informed by the North Ainericjin that he has the jiromise of the highe.tJt Judg('shi]i in his county. Now the Fugitive law is to be executed, or defeated by the fJudicial, not by the Executive othcers; and therefore it w.is, no doubt, that Wilmot was ia that Convention in-ti ad of the other. To sum up the \\holc matter, we think we have shown, tliat tliis great friend of the South, Higler, \oted for the jail law, and for the Wilmot Pn»\iso, and is now in league with the notorious Wilmot, who is to be rewarded with the Presiding .ludge- I ship of his county, as a conipen.ation for volving issues which his partizans in this immediate locality have assumed as points in the canvass, but which tlieir a.^soeiates anl allies in other jiarts of the State have with equal authority repudiated. In this divided state of opini>n, in the absence of any direct expression of .sentiment in re gard to the fugitive slave law by the Ton- i veiition which nominated (’ol. Bigler, or any reference to tliat subject b}* him.s(df when responding tj the nomination, and in the face of .Mr. Wil^iiot’s disavowal of respect for the general resolutions at the Harrisburg ('onven(ion, we have felt justi fied in propounding thes;.! questions and in diMiiandinir distinct re];lies. Colonel Jjigler, instead of defining his ground manfully, and leaving the ]>eoj)lc‘ of this State to es timate his claims iqion unequivtH-al decla rations, has sought rcfinre in silence, and has al,>o rei'usrd to antiiori/.e any one to s]>eak iu his b( half. Ami why has this jtoliey been ad.ijited? We will tell the country, ainl particularly C(!niuiend it to the aTtention of the South, ihat thi." double- dealing game is now playitig because of an infamous bargain betw. en the Democrats and Abolitionists to obtain jiower, whieh shuts Col. Bigler’s mouth, and will keep him gagged until the election is over, and torch lidit pro- i Wilmot and his followers have issued a in celebration'’(.f the silence upon the Fu gitive Slave law, so that they may com mend him to the Northern and Western counties as more souml than (Jov, Johnson; while the Pfinisi//r/iiiinn and its .satellitt s, in this region, upon their own authm'ity, and because tln*re is no public committal, urge him as the most ralie.il of t-ompro- niisers. This is a repetition of the corru[>t in trigue by which Mr. J’olk was elected Prc.si- dent; but in a foi ni mor«‘daring, aiil more likely, if succe.ssful, to be !isastrous. If the delicate relations between the North and South, by whi( li the harmony of the I’nion ran be alone ]>reserv(-d, are thus matle the subjects of ]>olitieal sjieculation, and trifled with by unserujtulous dema gogues, how are we to preserve ]>eace, er wIk'U may it be expected that agitati(m will ea.se? In our view, tlie electioneer ing movenieuts of C(d. Bigler’s party here are more threatening than any that have been attempted elsewhere, numen us and shameful as their -oaIitions iiave been, and his election would prove a most fatal *vent to all the interests of Penn.-iylvaiiia and to the tran((uility of the Union. They have given new life to the Abitlition feeling; thev have t.aken up David Wilmot from his merited obscurity, and reviveil all his influenee; they have openly and flagrantly joinel hands with the aetive and avowed enemies of the constitution, and they are .sess are required for the times?

Lest ail)’ body should suppose that we do the Journal injustice in attributing to it such a sentiment, we copy the entire paragraph in which it is contained:— “The next charge of the Observer is that the Pennsylvania Democratic Legisla ture of ’47 passed the Wilmot proviso, and that Mr. Bigler voted for it. Of this we knf)w nothing—it is, perhaps, on a par with the preceding charge aViout voting for the jail closing law—but one way or another, it is comparatively unimportant, as we are discussing the pre.sent position ; of the party in Pennsylvania, not the past ' course of a Legi.slature of four years since.” The Journal denies, on the authority of the Pennsylvanian, that Bigler voted for 1 the law of 1847 refusing the use of the I jails for the confinement of fugitives.— Here is a direct question of veracity.

Private advicis state that a re- voh'ition had broken out in .^Iatal!zas and in Santiago de ('uba. Large l>ands of the insurgents were in the mountains, and it was suppo.5ed the insurrection would spread rajtidly. A fight between a portion of the insurgei'ts and corps of government lancers resulted in the defeat of the lancers, and they afterwards joined the enemy.

The insurrectionary movement is rcprcsentel as being piite formidable, .\niericans have been for , pome time ]>ast drilling the insurgents. It . is .said that a ship from New York, with arms and ammunition for the insurgents, had succeeded in landing a cargo. Several others are daily exjected to arrive.
