It was then shown that cities do not, as a rule, furnish the largest number of con victs.

"The Western North Carolina B iii&OAD.--The Legislature will doubt less this week renew its appropriation to the Western xforth Carolina Kail road ; and while mentioning this mat ter we take occasion to refer to the fact that the Raleigh News has mistaken the position of this paper in reference to this appropriation. Many months be fore the General Assembly met The Observr es pressed the opinion that it would ' be wise in that body to contintre the prosecution . of the work; and the same opinion has been reiterated more than once since. The Democratic party is pledg ed to the completion of the road, and even jfegjt were not, to complete it would be, in our opinion, good business policy. We are not among those who favor leaving it in its present incom plete and consequently valueless con ditiott, and henee have noticed with pleasure the indications of a purpose in the part of the General Assembly to make provisions for the continuation of the work is again toliand. .Ihej currrat number contains a continuation of the story "John Bavidson's Wife," by W.!W.

He also bruised and disfigured his face as he went head foremost. 1 Piedmont Press : We learn that Dr. A. M. Powell has had the entire dam torn out of Catawba river at his cotton factory in order to give free passage for the fish. This fish passage has been long talked of, and will be a great help to the citizens along the stream above the factory in supplying them with fish Mr. P. had the darn exploded by an ap plication 01 mtro-giycenne, which was more speedily done than making a fish way through the dam. The jexplosion was very great, throwing pieces of the lumber to a distance ofseveral hundred yards. This does not interfere with the running of the factory as the wing fore- bey is used. ne American says: we state upon pood authority that capitalists in other places have decided, with the co-opera tion or citizens 01 the town and county. having money to invest, to organize a national bank in Statesville, with a capital of $100,000. The gentlemen who propose to take stock in tins bank wil supply two-thirds of cash capital, say $70,000, if the citizens of Statesville and Iredell will' -supply one-third, or say 830,000. The field open for banking operations is not only statesville ant contiguous counties, but western North Carolina for a customer, with all its business and resources. The busvnes3 of Statesville alone affords a wide field for operations, which now has to be done through banks in Charlotte, N. C which would be greatly enlarged from the tier ot counties north or the plafce. Shipment of Licensed Cattle to England London, March 8. The Timed savs The first consignment of cattle subject to the new regulation, arrived yester day at Liverpool in the Warren Line steamer Brazilian, which has been pe culiarly successful in her transport of live stock. This is her second voyage irom liostpn during the winter, when the Atlantic js roughi without losing a single head of cattle. Yesterday the Brazilian landed 301 head, licensed by the privy council at Birkenhead. Every animal was apparently sound and heal thy, and it is anticipated that they will find ready market in London and Liverpool as dead meat within the ten days allowed for slaughter. If this ex pectation is realized, it is probable that Anierjcan shippers, who are awaiting the result of the Brazilian's experiment, will send a larger mtthber of beasts un der the same conditions."

The four per oenL-xeiunainsr, eer tweates, to be issued under-, the ; ati . just 4assed by Congress, entitled itan ctt to i aid in re funding the national debt," will date from thft 1st of April next. , The cer tificates wu be of the denomination or ten dollars aad be cpftveiftible into four Ier cent, bends in sum of 050 and mul tiples thereof. Unless so converted tiiey will draw, so interest, s un :the 1st ot ADril.next anv one can obtain . certifi cates m exchange for lawful money; at the treasury here or at the sub-treasury at par. Afterwards the accrued interest-on. the certi0catea .will- have to ha added i in the purchase. The interest on $10 at 4 per. cent, is about one cent in nine days. The reason. wbYx April 1st is taken as the date. or the issue , ot the certificates, is that, interest on the 4 per cent, bond, which is doe quarterly, will be paid on that date, and the cer tificate and bond will etart out even. Thus there will be no difficulty on: ac count of the difference in interest, be tween the two in effecting th conver sion of the tormer wto, th latter.
