Fagg of Madison, and Henry E Colton, Esq., the Reporter of the Register. The Reporters geeni to be particularly unfortunate this session, as I believe not one has escaped "a row" of some sort, save our old friend Wakh of the Wnrrenton News. In the present case while the Clerk was calling the roll on the Fayctteville and Coal-Fields Road and just after Col. Fagg had voted in the negative, Mr Colton asked him iry he had so voted. Fagg replied "brcamae I phased." C. then remarked that as he (F.) wanted appropriations for his nart of the State lie niusn't cxi eet the friends ..f tlw kill tn aid him. Whereupon Col.

Fatrtr h; s heretofore failed to make any reputa tion as a member of the House, we suppose he thought proper to pounce upon Mr Colton; but Colton no doubt will take care of himself, although Fagg has the advantage of him in being three times as lare and twice as heavy. Premonition. The Nevbera Progress, speak ing of the burning of the Steamer North Carolina, i full particulars of which will be found on the 2d page. ) says : 'Strange how, sometimes, sonic persons are warned, they know not how or by what agency, that impending danger is threatening. Mr Clay ton informs us that his wife, feeling rather uneasy and believing as she said that something disas trous was to happen, arose from her berth about 1 o'clock, only one hour before the alarm of fire was given, and dressed herself, putting on everything, even her hat. So when the alarm was given she entered the small boat in full dress, being the only lady who was dressed, most of them entering the small boats with nothingon but theirnightclothes.'' The Standard of the 1st inst says: " Dr. Pritchard, one of the Commoners from Mecklen burg, and Mr Whitfield, the Commoner from Le noir, have been detained from their seats in the House for several days past by indisposition." mm- The Coalfields Railuoail In a portion of our issue last week we announced the final passajfe of the bill t. aid the Fayelteville Coal Field Railroad. The ineasur is a just one. and one by which the State can not possibly lose anything, but must gain largely. We think it ought to have been passed with fewer ungener ous restrictions. The Road is not allowed to cross any railroad now in existence except the Wilm Wei don road, and the State bonds are to be issued as the road pro gresses towards completion, viz: when 12 miles of road are completed S' 00.000: when the iron for the whole road has been purchased and delivered at Wilmington. $100,000 more; when 24 miles are completed, another I S100.000; and when the whole road is completed, the fourth and last $100,000. The public Treasurer is not to sell the bonds below their par value. Although the State is amply protected from loss, yet it was a very hard matter to get the bill through the Legislature. The citizens of Fayettcville and of Cumberland and Harnett counties cannot too highly prize the services of their representatives in the Legislature. Ma). Gil more in the Senate, and Messrs W. McL. McKay, Jas. S. Harrington and C. C. Bai bee in the Commons, labored liirtnrlj from the beginning of the session to secure the passage off the bill. We know something of the anxiety manifested by Mr McKay and the effort he put fo' th to secure the passage of the bill through the House, and have heard his brother members speak of him in Battering terms. As chairman of the committee on internal improvements he has discharged his duties with marked ability and general satisfaction. The in terests of Cumberland county will alw&vs be safe in the hands of such men as McKay and his colleagues.

We are at a loss to discover any good reason for members "pairing off" with each other when the vote on important questions is taken, unless sick ness absolutely debar them from attending upon the session ; it smacks too strongly of "dodging." Each member should vote and act as he thinks right, regardless of consequences. On Wednesday, the House rejected the West ern Extension bill. These net earnings for the 2d year's operations of the road, (to July 1856,) were $122,091 97; to July 1857, 162,924 63; to July 1858, $185,212 06; and for six months to Jan'y 1859, $112,544 98. Showing a regular and material increase every year. The above figures show, that if there had been no debt to pay off, the profits would have paid the State, up to the 1st Jan., 8210,000 on its million of preferred stock, and in 1856, tico per cent, on the remaining three millions of stock; in 1857, three per cent.; in 1858, four per cent.; and in Jan'y 1859, a semi-annval dividend of nearly three per cent. From all which it is manifest that, now that the debt is paid, dividends may be ex pected regularly. Whilst individuals will proba bly receive 5 or 6 per cent., the State Sinking Fund will receive from this road at least $150,000 a year, a sum amply sufficient, with its other re sources, to meet the State debt as it shall fall due. Now when we reflect that the public has been led to suppose that the road was not paying ex penses, that its stock was worthless, and that no body could tell the condition of its finances, we think we may call upon the public to rejoice over this exhibit, the accuracy of which, the Report says has been tested by the Officers and Directors of the Company, and may be easily tested by any one, for the accounts arc kept in a plain and simple manner, every department distinct. The earnings of the road, from all sources, from Sept. 1854 (when the first earn run) to Jan'y 1859, (i years) have amounted to $1,130,262 58. The onoratinir cost $596,080 15. This operating cost was 78 per cent, of the earnings for the first few months; then 47 per cent; then 45; then 43; and for the last 6 months 44 per cent.; showing that the road is operated at very considerably be low the usual per cent, of the earnings, and we arc inclined to think below tne proportion on any other road of which we have seen the results."

In Maryland und Virginia this article has been in use extensively for sev eral years on all crop?, renovating the old and worn out lands of those States. Our sister State, South Ca rolina, is a large patron. Cotton planters give it the decided preference where it has been tried. We beg that you will at least try this article if you are not disposed to venture largely, and assist us in distributing what we believe a public good. It is very simple in mode of application, and can be applied broad cast, in hill or drill, in quantity precisely as Peruvian Guano, say from 100 to 300 lbs. per acre, with the ben efit of improvement to lands the more liberally it is applied.

Mr John Kettlewell, Dear Sir : I have tried several kinds of fertilizers the past Spring, viz: Peruvian Gu ano; Manipulated Guano, prepared by yourself ; Tafeu, from the Lodi manufacturing company of New York ; CUBA. We have received from the Hon. L. O B. Branch, the member of the House of Representatives from the Ral eigh District, a copy of his Report on behalf of the com mittee of Foreign Relations, on the bill appropriating thirty millions of dollars towards the purchase of Cuba. LThe report is an able ami interesting uocumem, u reflects much credit upon Mr Branch. It traces the ac quisition of territory by the United States from the Re- , ., , mi i. vni-.iinnnrv war to the nresent time. It shows from the Tn the House on Thursday, tne Din to exempt ' in tne nouse mm sum J 1 I position of Cuba that it commands the trade of all the one negro iromexeeuiioii iuucu...v.v In the Senate, on Tuesday, w hen the bill to discon tinue the Geological survey of the State was under con sideration, we are gratified to learn that Messrs Ashe and Steele and 14 other Senators took decided ground in favor of dismissing Prof. Emmons. Mr Ashe denied that the honor of the State had anything to do with Prof. Emmons or the survey an officer should be pro cured who could command the confidence of the public. The State, like individuals, is only honored and re spected in so far as she does right and meets her liabili ties; if she ever fails in this respect, all the Professors in the State of New York and in the world, could not save her from reproach. Mr Steele said he should vete to get clear of what he considsred an incumbrance, and Mr Edney said he considered Emmons a broken down Professor, too old to do the wor'.-. The bill to abolish was indefinitely postponed, ayes 24, nays 16. It is probable that both Houses will adjourn sum du boat the 15th inst. Gulf ports just as completely as Louisiana does that of the Mississippi, and that it is as important to remove Spain from Cuba as it was to remove France from Lou isiana in 1803 TWe suppose all will acknowledge that the U. 8. could not get along without Louisiana, and all now confess that the purchase of that territory was a wise and beneficent act, although at the time there were many who opposed it. In regard to the purchase of Florida, the report cites certain acts passed by Congress in 1811- 12, in secret session, instructing the President to seize Fiorida (if it could not be purchased) and placing the army and navy and monev at his command for that purpose. It ex presses the opinion that Cuba should only be acquired by negotiation, unless we are compelled to take it bv tm 1 of self-nreservation.

In the same proportions I believe the Manipulated Guano will make as great a yield on cot ton, and the quality will be equally as good, as the Peruvian Guano; and it has decidedly the advantage in price and also in the facility of applying it to land. So, at the same price I would prefer the Manipulated Guano. I believe the Peruvian Guano is too high to make it pay in this climate as the drought of the sum mers here make our crops too uncertain to use costly manures. Respectfully, yours, J. M.

It is an interest- ii" question how many ot them couia earn it at, any other business. We might go farther, and ask, with the Fredericksburg News, whether they do earn it ? "They contracted with their consti tuents," says that paper, '-to work for eight dollars a daw and "then voted themselves more than six times that amount, JLet some member oi congress adopt the Enquirer's suggestion, and immortalize himself by introducing a resolution proviuing ior the cutting down of the present pay of members to fifteen hundred dollars per annum. lhat would be twenty-five dollars a day, which is enough, in all conscience, considering the Treasury is empty. Away with this wretched pretence about 'retrench ment and reform,' from men who pocket ntty dol lars a day of unearned money. Let them no lon ger insult the intelligence of the country, by asserting that they are in favor of economy and retrenchment. Richmond Dispatch. South Carolina Conference.
