Mork Plank Roaps.—A writer in the (’oiicord Mercury, suggests the buihling of a Plank Road from Ifeat place to Centre in Stanly county, to connect with the pro- ])osed road frnn Fayetteville to Centre.— The distanee is only -0 miles. The wri ter suggests al.xo a road to M*nroe iu U- nion county, then to connect with a plank road to Camden, S. C. He considers it luTcssary to build one of these roads.— Couo rd must be couuected with Fayette ville and Wilmington, or with C.iuiden. | Let the connection be made with Fay- cttevilli', ly all means. TiiK Cknthal PiAiL Road.—The Sal- i-l>ury Watchman says that the contrac- t(»rs on that .section of the road, have gone t,i work with a zeal and energy worthy (»f the enterprize.

Other Coal has been f>und within 7 iiiiles of Carthage, ‘> miles from the above I'cality, and within half a mile of tiie Plank Road.

No one can suspect him of a want of fidelitj’ to South ern institutions. He is a statesman, a scholar, and a gentleman of irreproachable morals. In every position in which his native State has placed him, he has proved ‘honest, faithful, and capable.’” The A\ ilniington Herald, heartilv ap- ]>roving the nomination of Mr. Fillnn^re for President, says: “With regard to the peculiar fitness of William A. Graham for the Vice Presidency, we presume no doubt is entertained. Tlie ollice is due North Carolina from her long and thorough de votion to Whig principles an«l her inflexi ble fidelity: it is no more than her right, and it shoidd b«; tendered.
