The Anti-Rent conspiracies of Ireland are ex-

This, then, was the time for a feeble but
generous foe to make a favorable impres

less than thirteen Hungarian generals,
who delivered themselves lip at the close
of the war, aftd induced their soldiers to
lay down their arms, have been murdered
under the guise of a court-martial ; and
to make the tragedy display a suitable
denouement. Count Battyany, the Prime
Minister of Hungary, has been shot under
circumstances which will lor ever make
the Austrian name synonymous with cru
elty, treachery, and dishonor.
The death of this! brave and: accom

as bitter as possible, and his end the most

The civilized world recoils from bru

while proposing peace, and a long and

fROBBERY, :
On Thursday night, the 1st inst., the
store of Rankin, Pulliam & Co, yas bro
ken into and a considerable amount of
goods and about $65 in cash stolen there
from. It was a bright moonlight night,
and the robber bored the pahnel out of
the front window immediately on the
street, with a two inch auger, arid thus
entered. He carefully laid away alhhis
chips and the.pannels in the corner of the
building, put bis things in a bag, went to
Jno. E. Pattoifs, stole a horse, broke down
the fence, passed through the fieldsback
of town, went over the) little mountain
and took the Swannanoe road to the gap
of the mountain ; here daylight overtook
him and he turned the1 horse loose and
made good his escape. He was pursued,
the horse recovered, and several days
search made :; in vain. . Suspicions are
strongly fixed on a gentleman of McDow

boundless resources, which will pour their
rich fruits intp her lap :
Railroads ire the great labor saving
machines of the age: their discovery !
seems providentially made for the cspe- J
cial benefit o
our extended Union ; and
estimatingth
eir utility, we are not to look
merely to the
money dividends earned on
their stock,, but the collateral benefits a
rising from their construction are also to
be included. The enhanced value given
to the real estate along the lines and near
the terminations of the New England rail
roads, is equal, at a moderate estimate, to
thrice their whole cost. The rise of land
ed property within ten miles of this city,
where the short trains run for the accom
modation of ocal travel, will average,
since the roads were projected, a thou
sand per cent. ; and in some particular
places it will equal ten times this amount.
But let us look still deeper. Has any
branch of industry languished in conse
quence of the! laborers being taken from
it and employed in the construction of
these useful Mbor-saving machines? The
markets are overstocked with agricultur
al products of all kinds; manufactures
glut the greaticommercial cities ; the me
chanic arts, Commerce, navigation, the
fisheries, the learned professions, arc all
fully supplied with hands ; and in giving
employment to the laborers on our rail
roads, a class jis rescued from compara
tive idleness, or taken from less profitable
work, and arejemployed in adding to the
enduring wealth of the country. No works
-of modern or ancient times have produc
ed such wealth-creating, such magic re
sults, as the construction in this country
of railroads. So far from ceasing to build
more, the business may be considered,
even in New England, as yet but in its
incipient state,! and hardly commenced in
1 .
large sections; ot tne union possessing
vast and varied resources.
It is about twenty years since the first
railroads werejeommenced in this coun
try, and but about twenty five years since
the opening of the first railroad in the
world run with locomotive power the
Stockton and Partington railroad in Eng
land. There are now in operation or
nearly completed in this country some se
ven, thousand j miles of railroads. Esti
mating their aixrage cost, including all
their expenditures in construction and e-
quipment, at thirty thousand dollars per
mile, it will be seen that in the last twenty
years more thah two hundred millions of
dollars have been expended on these
works. No othbr outlay of equal amount
in any other branch of business, no equal
amount of labor in any other field of in
dustry, has beeh as beneficial in develop
ing the resources of the country, in sav
ing time and labor, and in adding to the
substantial we41th of the nation, as this
on railroads.
Whenever these improvements have
been made in this country, their benefi
cial effect has been wonderful. Barren
wastes have become cultivated fields :
obscure corners have become flourishing
cities and dormant resources, by their ma
gical operation,; have been transmuted in
to gold. The changes in the population,
in the commercial importance, in the ac
tive weallh, in the productive industry of
me uinereni cnaies, cities, anu towns ot
the Union, by the outlay for railroads in
the next twenty! years, will be more won
derful than anything the world has yet
seen. j
Ohio, Indiana;, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
Michigan, are sjwake to the great value
of these improvements, as affording cheap
and rapid modes of intercommunication,
and ready means of transportation to and
from an Atlantib market.
The Atlantic! States, from Maine to

What Rail Roads will Do !
Georgia Rail Road.- It is an in-
contcstiblc fact, says the New Or
leans Picayune, that for miles on ei
ther side ot" every line of Rail Road
which lias heen made in Georgia, the
lands have appreciated from one hun
dred to five hundred per cent, and
in many instances much more, so that
the increased value of lands alone has
been much more than the whole cost
otho roads. New life has been in
fused into the whole State. Towns
are springing up as if by magic. All
the productions of her soil are speed
ily and cheaply wafted to a ready
cash market, and return freights cost
not more than one-fourth part of for
mer prices ; and she is now reaping
the rich fruits of her liberal and en
lightened policy.''
The Petersburg Intelligencer of
the 8th inst., in commenting on the
above says : " Now, we happened to
have travelled through a good deal of
the State of Georgia, and we have
seen some as poor land in it, and no
small quantity either, as we have ever
seen in tt Old Short Grass," as Vir
ginia is sometimes derisively termed
But the intelligent Georgians did not
mean that their State should stay
poor, and they availed themselves of
the light of the age, and went to work
to improve the value of their lands.
The readiest way to do this was to
put these lands nearer market than
Nature had located them, and they
therefore carried out a judicious sys
tem of Railroad improvements, and
the result we see expressed in the par-
agraph above quoted. May we not
' . . .c .
now inquire, if these results have been
achieved in Georgia, why they may
not be achieved in Virginia ? And

There were- no lofty figures ol tpeecht;

Commodore O. P. H., calls hish faloalin
but honest, plain plantation talk, which
the simplest understanding could compre
hend, and the most cultivated profit bx
His-'intimate acquaintance with the rl

sources of North Carolina, and parties
larly that portion of the Slate which tb
Central Rail Road wi If traverse, enable
him to lay before his hearers facts and ar
ments, of the weight and importance &
which, they had previously no adrocajt
conception. His speech, we arc wclla
sured, will do good will awaken a tt
newed interest in a subject ahvavs t
great importance to Petersburg. By W
lcrence to the proceedings, it will be scr.
that a Delegation of ten has been anDoim
ed to represent our Town in the Greens
borough Convention, and we trust ther
will not only attend, but carry with, theri
a suDstanltal token oj the interest 1'cten

there be no fear that other Towns anc
markets will share with us the increasrdf
trade that this Road will develope. I;
Gov. Morehead's language, "there will
be enough for all," and iT Petersburg doei
not get at least her full share of thegrea!
staples of cotton, tobacco and wheat, !:
will be her own fault. The days of m
nopoly, of damming up trade in artificial
channels, have gone by. Produce" wij!
seek the market that it can most cheaplj
and conveniently reach, and where it cai
be sold ou the best terms. Now, oorsit.
uation gives us facilities, at least, equal
to any enjoyed by the other Market Tovrtf
within reach of this Central Improvemtnt,
and we have only to avail ourselves o(
these facilities to be amply rewarded for
any pecuniary outlay we may make is
pushing on this great work. - In connec
