M- ' YATES, Editor Sc Proprietor fU(diU Morning, Sept. 15, 1857. COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION. On the first Thursday in October, the . of Mecklenburg county are called . it. r u in to vote ou me pi vywuHB ui suo- , (60,000 to the Wilmington, Char- j ,tte and Rutherford Railroad. We had mined to leave the matter for them to - in accordance with their own views, 'thout attempting to influence their minds wav or another, presuming that they tderstood the qtiestioo and were capable f arriving at a decision. But at tho rc , of some friends in the country we ve been induced to offer a word of ex it km as to tho proposition and give a reasons why we think the subscription .j,..:ild he endorsed by our people. The order of the Court directs that the County shall subscribe for 1200 shares (a rity of the people concurring.) 600 to 1 p applied to the Eastern and GUI) to the , i " Division of said Road. Those in TOl 0f the proposition will vote "Yea," and those opposed "Xu." The funds thus . jed are to be expended within the coun ty the Company to receive the Bonds of Coantj at par value, to run 20 years, bcariae f cent, interest. The question of the greatest importance t he c-ii-idered is, will the Road benefit the farmer, the uiecdianic and the merchant? if so. to what extent? Above every ether class of persons we think the furmer r..r. ives the greatest benefit from building j.: ,: ads. Every road constructed opens a in market for tlie sale of produce and increases the demand for the product of 14 -..U. In projiortion as the number of eons liners is increased and brought within rtack, so the prico of provisions will be tabauced, thus ulf'ording a larger remuner .itii'ii to tin: agriculturalist for his labor. By opening new avenues to market, farms are frequently doubled in value. Farmers along the line of a Roitd Iwr 3 a constant aud ready market for tfceii surplus food, whether milk, butter, cheese, chickens, buubs, pis. corn, fiour, or anything else. These articles will bring cash in hand, with bat half the trouble it. formerly required to ttir.'W them into market. Then there is in.; as muela danger of over-stocking the Market, for by having the advantage of two or three market towns, what is not wanting in use can be readily sold in another. Railroads also increase the price of lands forty, fifty and one hundred percent. This baa been the case along the line of the North Carolina Road. It is said that by increasing the facilities and dimiuishing the cost of getting U market, the quantity of wheat and corn planted in portions of western Carolina has been doubled. Those alone the lino of the Road are not the only ones to be benefitted. It may be the case that a large amount of their pro duce will bo sent off to another market, thus increasing the demand here at home for the staff of life, and affording to tho.-e who have not the advantage of a direct ship ment, better prices than formerly. As to whether the construction of this Read will benefit the town of Charlotte, there are two opinions. Some have thought that it will cut off a large amount of the war"ii trade that now comes here ; while others contend that what we lose in that nay will le gained in another. We do not think that the Road will injure Charlotte; and whether the people endorse the County Mtbseriptton or not. the town is bound for a Mbscriptioa of 23,000. If any nan has different views from the above to advance, we will take pleasure in giving bin a hearing through the columns t our paper. In five! we would like to see tin- subject more fully discussed, pro and MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. A friend informs us by letter under date f the 1 Itli inst., that James Henry Robin f"ii, son of Wm. Robinson, Esj., of the Goldeboro' Tribune, committed suicide on lbs 11 th inst., by shooting himself in the lu ad with a pistol. No cause has been assigned for the terrible act. lie was about 1' years old, had been a student of the I airersity, and bid fair to he a talented and ''x fa man. Wo deeply sympathize with his father in this his hour of sore afilietion. 'I he unfortunate young man was buried in Gehboro' on Sunday last. Wil., ( mar. dc Rt tiikrfoim Raii. roai..

By reference to the advertising columns t iU be seen that the Female Academy at harlotte will be opened on the loth of October, under the auspices of the Rev. Mr Harwell, of HrHsboro. The high reputa tiou which Mr Rurwell has already acquired a successful instructor of youth his in telligence, prudence and purity guarantee t'J the community ue of the best instruct or in the South. It only remains for its fnends. and the Trustees to whose charge ja committed. t sustain the respected 1 rincipal jn bifl laudable euterprize, and shall have a Female Academv worthy 'he times and the place. O. CF" Our friend C. C. Henderson, Esq., of Lincolnton, has sent us about a half gal lon of Syrup made from the Chine Sugar Cane. Several gentlemen have examined it and pronounce it fine one who had tried four or five specimens expressed the opinion that this was the best he had seen. In the following note Mr Henderson de scribes his Mill aud the manner of operating with it: Lixcolktox, Sept. 7, 1857. Mr Yates: I ha an acre of the Chinese Sugar Cane, and have commenced grinding and boiling it into molasses. I have erected a mill at my . Tannery, and run it by the Steam Engine that ruus my Tanning machinery. It con sists of two cast iron rollers, neatlv turned, 1 about 12 inches long, and about 0 inches in diameter, placed horizontally, with a pully on one end of each, and the top roller weighted down by levrs with weights hung on them, and thev nressincr on tl... I...:, elurrj of tho top roller; so that we might pjt a weight of 1000 lbs., or more if necessary, on each end of it. By running the Cane through two or ' 1 in.li t i iii it c it ralroo I . . . , 4- ,.11 at ! .i anpnm it i n. - a uuvju L Oil lilt lUlvtl UUl. Wo got one gallon of juice out of 12 Canes at our last mil inf. T m:il. aKmit mlt..tj O v 1 ' ii - uunoii.i i of good thick molasses out of 46 gallons of i ine juice. I had tho Mill built in Ibis place. At first I run it about B0 revolutions in a minute, but I found that was too fast it would mash up the Cane very well but did not take o,ut two-thirds of the juice. I have reduced the speed to 3' revolutions per minute, and find it does much better; but I think 20 or 25 revolutions to the miu uto would do still better. I have made some excellent Vinegar out of the Cnne after I had pressed out all the juice I could by the mill. Your Friend, Sec, C. C. HENDERSON. - - MORE Syrup. Mr Robert Gr'wt brought us a bottle of Syrup manufactured by him self. He planted about one-fourth of an acre in Cane from one-third of which he obtained 28 gallons of good Syrup. For pressing out the juice he nsed the perpen dicular rollers, and seems to think that mode better than the the horizontal plan. Persons must suit their convenience in extracting the juice, but we think the hori zontal rollers best for tho reasons given by Mr Henderson. The presure on the Cane can be better regulated and the work more perfectly accomplished. Judge DeLyon, of Georgia, states that an aero of the cane will produce 'i'.H) gal lons of syrup, 25 bushels of seed and 1200 weight of fodder. Another writer says that 4UU gallons can be made from an acre of cane. In addition to making vinegar with the stalks after being pressed, it is said that cattle will eat them. The syrup will also make good brandy. Coach Maker's Convention. We find in tho Standard a call for a convention of the coach makers of North Carolina to as BOmble iu Raleigh during the State Fair. The call is signed by the coach manufac turers of Greenville, Tarboro and Wilson, and begins with the following language: "Tho undersigned, coach-makers, are pain fully impressed with the idea that they are not sufficiently remunerated for their lahor in carrying on their business," and then expresses the opinion that the fault lies with the coach-makers themselves hence the request for a conference. In connec tion with this matter we publish the follow ing : Mr Yates: Wo notice a communication in the . C. Standard signed try sundry Coach-makers of the East, which please notice. We endorse every word uttered by those gentlemen. There is a lament able state of things existing among our brethren of the craft, which should be remedied if possible. Let us meet iu con vention and make the effort, at the time aud place specified by our brethren of the East. OVERMAN ec WILSON. Charlotte, Sept. 12th. American Tract Society. We are , pleased to see that the Baptist Associations id the South, generally, have taken deci ded steps in regard to the American Tract Society on the subject of slavery. We heretofore noticed tho fact of several State Associations recommending the withdrawal of patronage from that society in conse quence of its interference with the slavery question, and we now see that the Georgia Association has passed resolutions repro bating the action of the American Tract Society, and recommending that patronage lie withheld, and the efforts of agents and the raising of funds by colporteurs from the sale of works be discontinued until the Society rescind its action, and go back to its original silence in respect to slavery. This is exactly rifrht. Tho Association of West Tennessee has taken similar action. It is time for southern churches to cease co-operating with the enemies of southern institutions. m mmm Let it Alone. We want The Western Demo crat to let the Arj;u alone. We kec that journal (or our own use, and do ii"t w.sli it lainbasttd by any of our coteinporarits. By ihe way, some hotly must have been th lowing dust in its "hundred eyes" of late, uicieasing the optical infirmities under which it has been laboring tor some time. ItB "biind aide" is turned towards the HoTi. Mr. Stanly at present, and the annual may now be said to be "going it blind" against ile democracy and "running back" at the almiinsuati"n with a vengeance. Fayeltecille Cat uliuiun. Our friend of the Carolinian having been absent, w saw that those merry Argus edi tors felt themselves rather "foot loose" and were "running out"' pretty largely, so we thought we would try and check them in their "wild career" until his return. Rut take them up on ono subject aud they fly to another, like a J une bug on a duck's back. If the Argus can make good its assertion that Mr Buchanan is an abolitionist, we wish the Carolinian would pump it out. a CP Tho citizens of Greensboro', N. C, are making efforts to erect a Monument at that place to the memory of General Greene. CF The Memphis Appeal says : "We have never known such a demand for me chanics as exists at present in Memphis. Rricklaj'ers and carpenters especially, are in great request. Our city is growing rapidly, demand for labor is great, and re munerating prices are paid. We advise mechanics abroad to come to Memphis if they desire constant employment and good wages." ( COLONIZATION A FAILURE. The news from Liberia, where large numbers of emancipated negroes have been sent from thii country, is of a discouraging kind to those who are engaged in establish ing a colony there. The negroes, after they land in Liberia, are not capable of making a living by their own management, or they are too lazy to work the latter cause predominates in most cases. The fact is, but few of the colored population of this country possess energy, industry and capacity sufficient to take care of themselves after being set at liberty. Those persons who have been giving their money for building up a colony in Liberia, will soon find that their alms have done no good. It will not be long before the whole colony of negroes will degenerate into barbarism, idleness and misery of the worst kind. We frequently hear of some ono dj ing and leaving 50 or 100 negroes to be sent to Liberia. We have no doubt their owners, in most instances, while living, worked thera nearly to death, half starved and half cloth ed them. More than likely he was penu rious and illiberal in his intercourse with his fellow men, until he amassed a fortune, then, in order to have something placed to his credit in that book that will be opened at tho last day, he emancipates his poor, decrepit slaves, and directs that they shall be forwarded to Liberia. Tho last act of that person is the crowning sin of his life; and if the devil shakes him for any one misdeed more than another, it will be for sending his negroes off to starve and die in a free State or free country. To cheat and oppress the poor, while liv ing, then, at death, free your negroes as an atonement, may gratify and satisfy aboli tionists, but it will not be so considered by tho Master of all things. New Railroad Route between New Yoke and New Orleans. The Peters burg Express says: " We have been favored by a friend with a copy of the map showing the railroad route soon to be completed between New York and New Orleans, which will doubt less prove the most popular in the United States. The line commencing at New ork passes through Philadelphia to Raltimore, Washington, Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Lyinchbnrg, via Virginia and Tennessee Railroad to Bristol, thence to Knoxville, Cleveland, Tenn., and, as the route now lies, per force, to Memphis. From here, until the line is complete, the traveler will reach New Orleans by steamboat down the Mississippi. The entire route finished, he will continue from Cleveland, or Chatta nooga, via the Alabama and Tenu3Ssee Railroad, to Monterello, thence to Mobile and thence to the Crecent City. There will be a saving of some GOO miles by the route, which will doubtless prove a heavy "drop in the bucket," since preference so invariably follows economy in the age we travel through." Those who so strongly opposed the con nection between Greensboro, N. C, and Danville, Va., will now see, as we predicted last winter, that the through travel will be lost to the Railroads in this State. If the Legislature had granted a charter for the Danville connection, one portion of the State at least might have been benefited by the through travel, but as it is, we fear it is lost both to the east and the west. tW We have heretofore noticed the fact that Col. John H. Wheeler, of this State, was preparing a history of Nicaragua. The "Washington States" says: " We have had an opportunity of look ing into the pages of this forthcoming work; and, from a personal knowledge derived from a temporary residence in Nicaragua, we know that it is reliable and accurate. We shall hail its advent into the republic of letters, as adding information of an in teresting and lovely country, of which all wish to know something, and few know so little accurately about." FASHIONABLE LIFE AT SARA TOGA. The editorial correspondence of the Fny ettevillo Observer speaks ns follows of the fashionable women at Saratoga Springs : " Last year there were two great rivals in the fashionable world at this house. They sported so many and such splendid dresses, and were so laughed at for their folly. Within the twelve mouths the hus band of one of them has failed, been sold out, and is not here. Fit end of a career of fo'.ly and extravagance. The other 1 am told is here. Her husband is a pat"nt pill man, and piils carry the day. Whether those who take the pills and thus support the extravagance, are any wiser than those who livo by making them. I need not say. " I think there is still no small amount of genius employed in the concoction of patterns for ladies' dresses. In company with two ladiea I strolled into the ball room of one of the hotels last night, and was amused at the variety and elegance of the costumes there exhibited. The gentlemen diess simply. But the ladies! for them, ingenuity is exhausted; they shine in the richest and most beautiful of the creations of man's imagination. But their very bril liancy makes men afraid of them. A poor fellow must count the cost before he under takes to clothe one of these beautiful beings 'who toil not, neither do they spin," and who are yet more elegantly arrayed than "Solomon in all his glory." Celibacy and late marriages art undoubtedly more com mon. The race of unhappy old bachelors and old maids is constantly on the increase. Men and women wait to get rich before they marry ; and in the mean time they fall into all sorts of bad habits, become selfish and sour. Such seemed to me to be the kind of men who figured in the ball room last night. I suppose there were old maids there too, but they were neglected. The old bachelors danced and figured only with the young girls. At the same visit to the ball room I was interested in another matter iu which some body's ingenuity has been tasked for the gratification of the sex nothing less than a new dance. It is called, I believe, " the Lancers," (or something of that sound,) is very pretty, and altogether free from the indelicacies of the sehottishe, waltz, Arc. It is decidedly the fashion. The former fashionable dances having gone to the ut most verge of indecency, sliali I say ? it is perhaps not surprising that any thing new should be free from a tendency that way." Who wants one of these butterflies for a wife ? Does aDy sensible man wish to make himself miserable ? If so, let him form a copartnership with a fashionable woman of the kind who "fly round" at watering places. EX-PRESIDENT TYLER. Mr. Tyler has published a letter m reply to the declaration made in the late Com mercial Convention, that "the provision iu the Treaty of Washington, stipulating on the part of the United States for tha main tenance of a fleet of 80 guns for the sup pression of the slave trade under the Ameri can flag, was an act of discourtesy aud insult to the South." He expresses sur prise that such an assertion should have been made, when it is remembered that said clause was inserted in the treaty for the purpose of enforcing a previous uct of Con gress, for which the South had voted with singular unanimity. That act declared "that all citizens of the U. S. engaging in that trade should be regarded, and, if con victed, punished as pirates." Mr. Tyler says that he thought at)d often declared that the citizens of the southern States were more opposed to the slave trade than any portion of our people, and how it happens that a provision introduced into a treaty to enforce a law, for which the South had voted, can be rightfully regarded as an in sult to the South, passes his comprehension. Lie closes his letter with this remark : "It might be worthy of consideration, by the next Commercial Convention, whether, before they advise the canceling of the provision in question, and dencounce ;t as an insult to the South, they should not first repeal the law relative to piracy in regard to the slave trade." LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. By the arrival of the steamer Europe on the 11th, we have the following in regard to the war in India : The mutineers still held Delhi on the 14th of July. They had made three additional sorties, but were defeated in each with heavy loss. Sir Hugh Wheeler was killed atCawnpore, the garrison of which being reduced to fam ine surrendered to Hend Sahib, who, in vio lation of his solemn promise, massacred the whole garrison. Sahib was subsequently defeated with great loss by Gen. Haverlock, who re-occupied Cawnpore. Sahib massacred at Cawnpore 240 women and children. Among the officers killed are Sir George Parker, Col. Williams and Brig adier Yack. An obstinate battle was fought on the 5lh of July before Agra, between the garrison and the Memmush mutineers, numbering 10,000 troops. The British retired with a heavy loss, having several of their officers killed. In the Liverpool market Cotton had ad vanced. Wheat and Corn dull. Ex-President Pierce. The Spring field (Massachusetts) Argus says : "Ex-President Pierce, since his retire ment from the Chief Magistracy, has spent a portion of his time in Concord, which had been his residence for many years before his election to the first office in the nation. The feeble state of Mrs. Pierce's health has prevented the ex-President from determin ing upon his residence, although he has, we think, no idea of leaving bis native State. "The people of Concord, where he is held in the highest respect and esteem, invaria bly express the hope that ho will fix his permanent residence among them. He is now staying temporarily in Andover, where Mrs. Pierce has relatives We regret to learn that her health, which for a long time has been feeble, is not improved since they left Washington. We have never seen the ex-President looking in hotter health than at the present time." . The Sugar Tkade. The fall in the value of susrar and molasses has been great within a few weeks prist. The losses on the stocks on hand nutt have been many millions of dollars to dealers in this country, and much more to foreign holders. There is no doubt that speculators have caused the high price of sugar and molasses. A Newbury-port correspondent of the Boston Traveller states that millions of dollars' worrh of these articles held on fbreiarn accounts are stored in that town. Three acres of South Boston wharf are completely covered with molasses hogs heads, the leakage from which, it is estimated, amounts to forty thousand gal lons a day. North Caholixa Printing Paper. A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, writing on board of the steamer Roanoke, at Portsmouth, Va., says : To my sur prise the Koanoke took on here about three hundred bundles of paper all manufactured in North Carolina, and shipped to the port of New York via Portsmouth. But the strano-est idea connected with this transac tioti, is tie fact, that the most of it is sold to and consumed by Greeley, in printing that freedom shrieking sheet the Tribune. It is said by some that Greeley married in Warrenton, North Carolina, and, therefore, has some sympathy remaining for the Old North State. This may be assigned as a reason for bis purchasing printing paper from a slave State ; but the true secret of the matter doubtless is, that Greeley gets it a little cheaper than he could in the free States; and where money enters into any transaction with which a Yankee Aboli tionist is connected, yon may take it for granted that the pecuniary consideration will outweigh every other. Love for negroes, country, and all things else, must trive way for the love of mammon. 3T A smash-up occurred on the Cam den and Atlantic railroad on Saturday last, by which throe persons were killed and thirteen wound(d. To carry a Collins steamer from New York to Liverpool, requires eight hundred tons of coal enough to hist an ordinary family forty years. The New Oi leans Pic-.yune announces the arrival, by the steamer Lecomte, Capt. Johnson, of sixty-five barrels new molasses, made from the Sorgho Sucre, or Chinese sugar cane, on the plantation of Mr Delery, parish of St Bernard. This is somewhat in anticipation of usual receipts of new molas ses. It is considered an excellent article. Revival Intelligence:. A revival has been going on for the last week or two, and is still progressing, in the Metodnt E. Church in G reensborough. under the ruinis trv of the verv efficient and able Pastor of that Church, ' the Rev. N. F. Reid. Be tween 40 and 50 have made public profes sions of conversion, and many others are still bowing before the penitential altar. Between 30 and 40 have united themselves with the M. E. Church, and, we learn, others intend doing so soon. Greensboro" Patriot. CONCORD PRESBYTERY. The Asheville Spectator of the 10th inst. says : "The Presbytery of Concord has been in session in this place the past week. Rev. J. Rankin officiating as Moderator. We learn that a series of resolutions were adopted endorsing the "North Carolina Presby terian." We have heard of no other busi ness of public interest that was transacted. On Sunday afternoon the Rev. Robt. Hett Chapman, D. D. was installed as Pastor of the church in this place. Rev. Dr. Lacy and Rev. Messrs. Penick and Cunningham officiated on the occasion. A resolution ten dering the thanks of the Presbytery to the citizens of Asheville generally and to the Methodist brethren for the use of their pul pit was unanimously passed." BALTIMORE RIOT. It appears that Baltimore is losing none of its reputation for being the scene of the most frequent and disgraceful riots that tarnish the name of our country. She is fast acquiring and meriting, too the name of mob-city of the Union. It has not been long since her mob population, finding nothing to do in its line at home, ventured over to Washington city to try its hand in its peculiar occupation: "rapine, murder and conflagration," and every one knows the result. And we have now to chronicle another riot between Firemen and others, in which several were wounded some, perhaps, fatally, and the lives and property of peaceful and unoffending citi zens put iu jeopardy. Aud in the closing of the account of this disgraceful proceed ing by a Baltimore paper, it is quietly added that, " finally, the belligerent com panies were separated and sent to their quarters" ! Better been sent to prison for two years. FOREIGN ITEMS. Since our last there have been two arrivals from Europe. A letter, speaking of the outbreak in India, says : The officers were at mess when the wretches sounded the alarm bugle to bring them to the parade, and shot them down i ight and left ! Wretched murderers, may they receive their reward ! Nine poor little ensigns doing duty with the regiment were bayoneted to death in the mess-room, and three of the officers who escaped heard their cries as they passed ! Poor boys, who had never given offence to any native, nor caused dissatisfaction to the Sepoys. Five officers were shot belonging to the regiment, be sides the nine poor boys. Birch and Innes, with the sergeant-major, in all 17 military men, many merchants and others were most crueily butchered in all 39 Europeans fell that night by the hands of the merciless Sepoys. The treasury was plundered, the prisoners released from jail, and the work of destruction commenced. The whole station was destroyed, house after house plundered and fired. Every day we have had expeditions to burn and destroy disaffected villages and we have taken our revenge. I have been appointed chief of a commis sion for trial of all natives charged with offences against government and persons ; day by day we have strung up eight and ten men. We have the power of life and death in our hands, and 1 assure you we spare not. A very summary trial is all that takes place; the condemned culprit is plac ed under a tree with a rope round his neck on the top of a carriage, aud when it is pull ed away off he swings. You can have no idea of the awful weather and our sufferings from the heat ; we sit with wet cloths over our heads, but the deaths from sun strokes continue large; that dreadful scourge cholera has also broken out and we have lost already 70 fighting men. We buried 20 three nights ago at one funeral, and the shrieks of the dying were something awful ; two poor ladies who were living over the hospital died, I believe from fright. We have now got about 400 men outside the fort, aud di-ease is certainly ou the decline. All the village people rau away, and one who had worked for the Euro peans these murderers killed, so if the population was to a man against us we should stand but a bad chance. A poor baker was found with hpth hands cut off, and his nose slit, because he had sent in bread to us. I need not say how anxiously we all look for a large army from England. We can hold our own well enough till it ar rives, but India was never in such a mess, and it requires many a strong arm and a wise head to put it in order again. The Bengal army is to a man against us, and I am very nervous about Madras -and Bom bay ; one single mischance, and those two armies follow. England. A letter from London says, if the telegraph company should postpone operations until next summer, the present cable will be sold and a new one made, 500 miles longer, in season to be laid next June. Spain. The Spanish cabinet were con sidering a proposition to the municipal authorities ofli avana for reducing the im port duties on flour. Russia. The Russians were stated to have been defeated on the banks of the Kuban ; they lost G guns, and 54 pack I horses. It is said that Schamyl, with 25,- 000 Circassians, had also defeated the Russian army, which attempted to dislodge him from the banks of a river commanding some passes. After a battle which lasted ten hours, the Russians were driven across the river. Several fortified places, built by the Russians at great cost, for the mainten ance of their communications, fell into Schamyl's hands. Pkussia. The news is of rather a war like natare.
