Joseph S. Murnhv has been removed from j the office or Surveyor of this Portland John Cowan appointed in his stead.! ; j In reference to (his change, the Journal sets j tip the cry jojf Proscription. This was to have been expecied, just as much as the witches aj-e expected to appear in Macbeth it is a part of the play, a preconcerted airangement, a thing all cut and dried beforehand. Will the Journ dl please to answer us this question: How many years must a man hold an office under the General Government to ma.ke bis superse. r dure therein! a not.proscriptire act ? must it be I ten, fifteen,! or twenty years?! Or does ibe Journal wisp lo be understood as advancing the doctrine jthat members of its' party who hap. pen to ba in oflice have no right to he disturb, 'ed foe the halanre of their livesi. Perhaps the JarnaI would do well to "define its post" with ff mejdegre of exactitude, so that when it cries Proscription," the public miy know what meaning ia lo b thereto attaefced. If it con- tends, that Locofocos have a lif.estate in their Vofllcei, or that they hare a mortal lease of them tortw'e.lre, or forty years, why then let the dec ; larttion be made, so that we may see distinctly 'r howjthe inanomania works. ; j i f Mr.' Murphy has webflieve held the office j of Surveyor fot wme tejn years, perhaps for a longer perod.

This is a stubborn fact; iyhich re quires no comment, except a reference to the figures shovying the .expends and ul timate liability,; and to .the people who have to foot the bill ! j i j s i As to the general effect! of a railway upon every popular interest, we nave giv en "line upon line" the views of practi cal and intelligent men, whenever they have come in our way. We admired the candor and fair dealing of the distinguish ed men who were at the Salisbury ..Con vention, and who controlled itsj proceed ings. There was no disposition; manifes ted either in convention or private circles to hold out the idea of immediate and great profit on the stock, as an inducenlent to men to embark their, means in thisjenter prise. Higher motives were appealed to ; and we are happy 'to belief e thiat jiigher motives (influenced the mefnber!s of that convention, and will influence the people generally. All, however, seemetl to con cur in the opinion that the stock 'would be safe, and ultimately among thi most profitable investments that could betnade. It is to the incr eased value of IheUands along the Road, ivl thepeqple must look for more immediate reimbbrsemcrit and profit. Gen.

That these worthy sons of 4 j, J North Carolina may enjoy this promised and purchased blessing of length of days, and that these days may be full of plea santness and peace, is what every true hearted sob of our State will send greet ing for the great kindness manifested in the following article : , from the National intelligencer of June 30. North Carolina fairly aroused to a sense of lier own Interest. WTe are glad of an opportunity to call the attention of j our readers to the great work, generally known by the name of the Central Railroad, which it is proposed to construct within the State of North Carolina. The General Assembly of that State, in a spirit of liberality which it never before exerted to the same extent, grant ed a Charter for incorporating a company to construct a Railroad from Goldsborough, in the county of Wayne, by way of Raleigh and Salisbury, to Charlotte, in Meek- lenburg county a distance of about two hundred and ten miles and agreed to subscribe to the stock of that company Two Millions of Dollars on behalf of the State, whenever individuals shall have subscribed One Million of Dollars, and paid up one-half of that sum. The eastern terminus, Goldsborough, is at the Neuse river, at the head of navigation, at the point where the Wilmington and Roanoke Railroad crosses that stream, about fifty miles from Raleigh. Its western, terminus, n. . tl J . i , . . , , Charlotte, is already the terminus of the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, which starts at Columbia, (S. C.) and, running through Richland, Fairfield, Chester, and York Districts, in South Carolina, and part of ecklenburg county, in North Carolina, terminates, as above stated, at Charlotte. The counties of Cabarrus, 'ire - ".uua.,, mv.e, dv.Usn, ouiuora, uanuoipn, t i it t T. : t :j . i t- 1 j 0ranSe' Chatham, Wake, Johnston, and Wayne, that must constitute (very nearly) its track, are in point of, ... , , I . : . . ' fertility and cultivation, not inferior to any part of the : . , . M . , . , 3 . Atlantic Jstates ; and, when we consider their vanous T 7 factories, and institutions for the dissemination of knowl edge ; with the University, which is highly piospering ; with the various officers, courts, &.c, at Raleigh, (where it meets the Raileigh and Gaston Railroad ;) with the valuable gold mines in all the counties west of Orange ; with the immense coal deposite iu Chatham, surely few schemes havfl ever combined the elements of success in more abundant degree. It is understood that the Georgia Railroads, which will form a continuation of the North and South Carolina enterprises, are profitable, and have yielded above six per cent, of nett profit ever since the first year after their being brought into use. Y hy the same thing may not be predicated of the now proposed undertaking can- not well be perceived, especially after the extension of vention was lately held at Salisbury, combining a large porportion of the character and talent of the State, in which these difficulties were maturely considered, and nrnnrmnwd hv that hodv not to ho at all in lh wav f the accomplishment of this great work. It is believed that the action of this intelligent body will be satisfac- tory to their fellow-citizens, and that the work will be very shortly commenced. It will thus be seen that the great Atlantic chain, from the borders of Canada to the Mississippi river, through a healthful and delightful country, can hardly fail to be forthwith completed. But suppose! the citizens of North Carolina, with those of other States directly interested in it, should not be ahln ir oninnrtanH fhff mP!iiia of rsiicincr nnp millirin nf dollars: it is still to be hoped that an enterprise so fraught with benefits to the whole Union, and so auspiciously begun, will not be permitted by the capitalists of the country to fail. It is believed that the closest scrutiny into the particulars to which we have alluded will satis fy the public; that the stock must pay well ; and it is not often that the credit, so sound, of such a State as North Carolina, can be commanded to the extent of two millions of dollars for any single public work. i ' DC7-Mf. J. A. Dumas, of Ansoncountv, I renorts to the Cheraw Gazette several j ' ; cotton blossoms lound on bis plantation as early as the 15th June ; but slates that his crop is very unpromising. Jlomovats.Ai is not a little amusing fo read Xocofoco papers nowaday. Such a doleful outcry about proscription and violation of pledges, was never heard be fore. General Taylor, they say, promised to be the President of the people, whereas he is jhc President of a party ; and as proor or this assertion tney point 10 me rernovals from office which have been i v.- n:.Tf VU. nnv mauc suite iin una i ic3iu.cin. " J thing ever more absurd ! Who are the ...! ,ll . ,1 people 01 v iiuiii iiitrac pnr orgus spcniv Are they the office-holders ? They are but as a drop in the bucket. Are they the tocofoco party ? Ah ! that's hitting the nail on the head. The truth is, pur Locofoco iriends seem to think that they are the Alpha and Omega, the sum and substance of every- thing in the United 1 States : and that the least deviation trom a full acknowledgment of that same, ei ther bv removing one of their number j from omce. or withholding 11 wnen asaeu for. is absolute and down right treason against the people." President Taylor, it appears removes whom he thinks pro per to remove' and appoints such as be believes will serve the public purposes, without paying that deference to the wish party which they think r i is more natural, then, es of the Locofoco he ought. What is than to find them clamoring like so many mad-nien. Besides, the fellows had been feasting so long on the public pap that it is like drawing eye teeth to be compelled now to work for an honest living. 44 The people take it very hard ! and their "car ryings on' show it. But amid all their outcries we are able occasionally to chronicle such as the fol lowing, which if they were reasonable in their demands might afford them some comfort : Another Democrat appointed to office by Gen. Taylor.
