A WESTEEN DEMOCBAT, CHAELOTTE, 2ST. C. trt SUPERIOR COURTS. The Spring Teruis of the Superior Courts iu this (6th) Circuit will be held as follows : CHARLOTTE, IV. C. "Tuesday, February 15, 1 V.T. Personal. A friend at Raleigh informs us that an article published in our last issue concern ing a difficulty between Mr Fagg and Mr Colton, does the former gentleman injustice. We certain-- -do not desire to place any man in a wrong light, and if we ever -commit an error of that kind e hope always to be found ready and willing to -correct it; bat we mast say that we are uuable to see ihow we have done Mr Fagg injustice, and until we are convinced of it -we shall not feel justified in making any correction. 1 he report of the difficul ty was -copied from au exchange paper, and if Mr Fagg desires to correct that report in any particular he can have the use of our columns to do so. But with our present information on the subject we are unwilling to admit that, injustice has been dune the gentleman from Madisun. Since writing the above we have received the follow ing rommunication from a gentleman at Raleigh. Al though we do not enjoy the acquaintance of the writer, we publish the article so that ull concerned may have . the benefit of its statements : For the Western Democrat. Ma Editor: In your zeal for the Fayetteville and Coalfields interests a zeal which is to be commended f.r the liberality and generous sentiment which beget and encourage it you have permitted your better judg ment and discretion to be misled in relation to the late trifling and unimportant difficulty, occurring in the House of Commons betweeu Col. Fagg and Mr Colton, Reporter for the Register. The statements you publish concerning that matter and your comments thereon, do Col. Fagg manifest and serious injustice. There is about them a bitterness, an acerbity and n gravity that the circumstunces do not warrant. I will not under take to say which was in error in the affair, but from the manner in which Mr Colton approached Col. F. after the latter had given a certain vote, he considered that his privilege as a member had been invaded, and he resented it accordingly. Mr Colton's manner may not have been objectionable, but still it was so received by the member from Madison, and treated according to such construction. But. in a short while afterwards Mr C, in a spirit of compromise and candor which did him credit, sought a reconciliation with Col. F.. which the latter gentleman received iu the same spirit and the whole affair ended. It was but a temporary misunderstanding between " friends, hitherto and since intimate in their personal intercourse: nothing more: and it is therefore that your account of it is graver than the occasion calls for, in correct as to some of the particulars, and that your de nunciations of Col. Fagg are unmerited. Col. Fagg has a very fair standing in the House of Commons, attends attentively to the interests of his constituents, and acts conscientiously, whatever way he may choose to vote. I need make no appeal to your magnanimity, and I need not suggest to your generosity, to make to Col. Fagg such reparation as your more amiable impulses will at once prompt. B. We deny that our 'zeal" for the Coal Field Railroad caused our better judgment and discretion" to be mislead we have no particular zeal for that Road more than to desire even-handed justice to all sections of the state and aid in developing its mineral resources as far as practicable. Neither did our remarks about the difficulty partake of " a bitterness, an acerbity and a gravity " that the circumstances do not warrant. The case stands about thus: We copied from a Ra leigh letter published in an exchange paper, a para graph stating that after Co!. Fagg had voted against the Coal Field Railroad bill, Mr Colton remarked that as he I Fagg) wanted appropriations for his part of the State he musn't expect the friends of the bill to aid him: whereupon Col. Fagg struck him. To the paragraph giving this information we appended the opinion that Mr Colton"s remark was appropriate: that while such legislators as Fagg are very ready to grab millions from the State for their sections, they are unw illing to allow others a few thousand; and we further intimated that he would not make much by striking Colton. This is the sum and substance of the whole roaUer. And we still think that Mr Colton's remark was appropriate and . to the point. We still think that a man who has voted Jt, 000. 000 for the benefit of his own section might af ford to favor another section with a few thousand, es pecially when the State is amply protected against loss. With regard to the difficulty with Mr Colton, we are willing to allow Col. Fagg the full benefit of the state ments contained in the above communication, although it is not shown in what particular the paragraph we copied is ip,cprrect. We do not wish to be understood as the special apologist of Mr Colton; we care nothing about which was to blame, being willing to allow each one to form his own opinion on that point. We copied the article as an item of news, believing that our read ers are entitled to know what is transpiring. This duty we shall always perform without allowing our right to do f o to be questioned. But if any one considers him self aggrieved in this way, we will cheerfully give him a hearing. We know our duly in this respect without any special appeal to '-magnanimity" or "amiable im pulses. ' With regard to our intimation that Mr Fagg is illib eral in his votes, we have not the least explanation to make, as t'ie public course of a man is always consider ed a fair subject for comment. P. S. Since the above was in type we have received a statement of the affair which fully justifies our re marks last week. We shall use it hereafter if necessary.

Tobacco. On our first page will be found an kite resting aad instructive article on the growth and management of Tobacco. It is thought that the soil of this section is well adapted to the culture of tobacco, and we learn that some planters who tried small patches last season were gratified at the result. The article we publish to-day will prove interesting to all, whether they want to engage in the culture of the weed or not. MARRIAGES. We thought it might prove in- j teresting to some of our readers to learn the state of the matrimonial market in this county for a few years past, aud we therefore obtained from the ob- ! liging Clerk of the County Court, Mr Reid, (to whom all have to apply to get the necessary docu ments to enable them to take the responsibility )ies,) ' the following statement of the number of Licenses j issued in the years named: In 1851, 87 Licenses In 1855, 80 licenses. " 185G, 116 " 1857, 80 u " 1858, 96 1852, 78 1853, 71 1854, 98 It will be seen that the number in '58 is not as large as that of '56 or '54. Probably this was ow ing to the bad crop prospects or the pressure in money matters, or to a disinclination. Those in terested may fix the causes to suit, and report at leisure. One thing is certain, it is the duty of somebody to take care of the ladies, and every one ought to be willing to bear his proportionate part. Nkguo Child Burnt. One morning last week, a negro child about five months old, belonging to I A. C. Williamson, Esq., of this place, was burnt to death by its clothes accidentally taking fire while ia the arms of a boy near the fire-place. Mr W.J discovered the child in a blaze too late to save its life, and burnt his hands severely in trying to extinguish the fire. LEGISLATURE. In addition to our Legislative proceedings on another page, we notice the following : The bill to allow E C. Grier, Sheriff -of Meck lenburg, to collect arrearages of taxes, passed its second reading in the Senate on Wednesday. The Senate also passed the bill to aid the Albe marle and Chesapeake Canal Company, and re jected the bills to abolish the Supreme Court at Morganton, and to give the election of Clerk and Master to the people The third reading of the Revenue bill was com pleted in the Senate on Friday last. The only alteration made since the bill left the House was that the tax on marriage licenses, mortgage deeds, deeds of trust, and other deeds of conveyance, was stricken out. The tax on race-tracks and cock pits added on the second reading, were stricken off on the 3d reading. A tax of per cent, was laid on all sums of specie drawn from our Banks by brokers not residents of the State. The resolution granting an additional appropria tion of $1000 to the State Agricultural Society, was rejected yeas 32, nays 52. The House passed the bill to punish usury in certain cases. The bill enacts that any Bank officer violating the usury law, may be punished by fine and imprisonment. The Standard says that on Friday, the bill in troduced to protect the State's interest in the Cape Fear and leep River improvement, passed its 2d reading in the Senate by a vote of 23 to 16. This bill pro -ides for the purchase of the work by the State in the eTent of its being sold, at a sum not to exceed $400,000; and authorizes the Governor, should the State become the purchaser, to draw upon the Treasury for 50,000 per annum for two years, to be ?xpeuded in keeping up and prose cuting the work. The bill to aid in the completion of the Chesa peake and Albemarle Canal passed its 3d reading by a vote of 22 to 20. Mr Benbury (whig) introduced a resolution in the House authorizing the Governor to accept a Congressional grant of public lands for Agricul tural Colleges. It was rejected 48 to 52. The bill modifying the restrictions on the West ern Extension was rejected 31 to 74. The Legislature will probably adjourn about the 21st instant. CONGRESS. The Senate has passed what is known as the Agricultural Bill, by a vote of 25 to 22 the south ern Senators mostly voting against it, among them Messrs Clingman and Reid. This bill appropriates six million acres of the public lands to be divided among the several States for the establishment of agricultural colleges. Among those who favor these schemes for squandering the public lands, (a source of revenue to the government,) are found the very persons who are loudest in their com plaints against the administration for a low treasury. The Pacific Railroad bill has been laid aside for this session. Mr Slidell's bill for the purchase of Cuba was taken up, and after a long parliamentary struggle, Mr Doolittle, of Wisconsin, introduced a substi tute, the substance of which is to purchase Cen tral America for a residence of the free negroes, and that $50,000,000 be appropriated for that purpose. The House on the 9th, struck from the Legis lative, Executive, and Judiciary bill, an item of $200,000 mileage to members of Congress, also an item of $250,000 for the purchase of a site for, and the erection of a building for Court purposes iu New York. It reduced the appropriation for the mints at New York and San Francisco, and added $167,000 to the deficiencies in the public print ing. The bill passod in its amended form. In the Senate, on the 10th, Mr Clingman, of N. C-, made an excellent speech against Senator Big ler's Tariff resolutions. LECTURE ON CHINA- CharUte, Feb. 11th, 1859. Mr Editor : Please say in your paper that the Rev. M. T. Yates, for some years Missionary in Canton, China, will lecture next Saturday night in the Baptist Church, on the '-Chinese as a people, their manners and customs". He will give an ad dress on Sunday on their religious condition, &c. Yours, R. H. GRIFFITH. From the newspaper notices of Mr Yates' lec tures in other places, we have no doubt but those who hear him on Saturday evening next will be highly gratified. He speaks of Chinese manners and customs from a personal knowledge of them, having resided among that people for a few years as a Missionary. He is a native of North Carolina. CHARLOTTE JIAKKET. FlBRUARV 15, 1859. Corrected weekly by 27. B. WiUiums & Co. . WILMINGTON AND CHARLOTTE RAILROAD. We learn that the President of this road is now at the North for the purpose of buying the iron for a part of the track, and a locomotive. It is contem plated to complete, as soon as possible, twenty-five miles of the Road from Wilmington this way, and twenty-five miles from this place towards Lincoln ton. The friends of the Road are now sanguine of success, and work will progress steadily until com pleted. While on this subject we will call attention to the fact that the Bonds of Mecklenburg county, issued for the payment of the county's subscrip tion to the Road, are now for sale. They bear 7 per cent interest, payable semi-annually, and no doubt would prove a good and safe investment, as the county has already levied taxes to meet their payment. Taxes. We learn that the amount of Taxes due Sheriff (Jrier of this county, for the years 1851, '' '55, '56 and '57, is near thirteen thousand dollars. The Sheriff has borrowed and used his own private : means to pay this amount into the State and County j Treasuries, and he hopes that delinquents will now settle as he needs money very much. lie has been an indulgent officer, and all will admit that the re quest now made is a reasonable one. Every man knows his own business best, but we fear this neglect to pay debts is owing to the fact that each one wants to hold more property than he can conveniently manage. This remark is meant ! in a general sense, and is applicable, probably, to j all sections of the State. Would it not be far bet ter to own less property and be easy in finances, than to be rich in land, houses, negroes, kc, and : always cramped for money. No doubt the people of this county are as prompt as any in the State, (we certainly consider them in as good circumstan ces, ) but we are sure some of them would "breathe easier" if they would not consider it important to own "large possessi-ns." . The Tactics of the Opposition in the Legislature. On the final passage of the Reve nue Bill in the House of Commons, forty-four de mocrats and four opposition members voted for it, and thirty-two opposition members and ten demo crats voted against it. The liabilities of the State have to be met, and we should like to know how it is to be done if not ia the usual way of levying taxes. We suspect the opposition members in the Legislature voted against the bill for the purpose of making capital oat of it during the next electioneering campaign. The people will be told how the democrats taxed j them, and how they (the patriotic whig? and know j nothings) resisted it! But they must also tell the people that they helped to bring the State in debt; if they don't somebody else will, and show it from the record. Then what will the dear people say to them for voting money away and refusing to vote any back into the Treasury. They may try j to excuse themselves by saying that this article and j that article was unjustly taxed; but many will con aider it rieht to raise revenue from other sources besides land and negroes. While our opposition friends are appealing to the prejudices of the people about taxes, we shall not be surprised to hear them complaining of the demo crats for not granting more aid to internal improve ment schemes. The Raleigh Register has already taunted the democratic party for not removing the restrictions from th. Western Extension (placed there by the whig leader in the Senate two years years ago, Gen. Dockcry ) We can't understand why the Register fhould want the restrictions re moved if its party is determined to vote against raising the means to meet even present liabilities. Charlotte and S. C. Railroad. The an nual meeting of the stockholders of this Road was held in Columbia on the 9th inst. We learn from the Carolinian that Br. C. J. Fox of Charlotte, presided, and on motioa of Gen. W. H. Neel, Messrs J. L. Morehead and Chas Bouknight were appointed See's. The affairs of the company were found to be in good condition, and the satisfactory manner in which the officers had discharged their duties and the present prosperity of the Road af forded cause for general congratulation. From the Report of the President, Wm. John ston, Esq, we learn that the receipts of the Road for the year ending 31st Dee., 1858, were From Freights $173,190 37 Passengers 89,857 76 Mails 11.700 CO u Other sources 8,515 67 Total $283,263 80 The Expenses for the same period were $131,727 44 Which deducted, leaves $151,536 36 The report states that the income of the last year exceeds that of the year previous by $42,541 77, while the excess of expense is only $12,560 02. This increase of expenses was caused mainly by the purchase of three new passenger coaches and the construction of two new baggage cars. The Report then goes on to say that "The receipt - from freights give an increase in favor cf the present year over the past of $34,428 07, and from passengers of $9,612 34, making the aggregate from these sources, $44,040 41. The Hoard express the opinion, that in these results the stockholders have caue of congratulation at the future prospects of the Road. The trains have been run with great regularity and success during the year, almost without an acci dentno passenger having sustained any injury on the road. The whole number of miles run are 212,955, at an average cost of 60 cents, per mile. But few Roads have been operated as many miles at the same expense, with so much improvement added, as has been made to its material structure and equipment, with so few casu alties to life and property.'' The following gentlemen were elected Directors for the ensuing year: A. R. Taylor, Dr. John Fisher, of Richland District ; W. R. Robertson, Thomas Dubose, of Fairfield District; Samuel Mc Alilcy, II. C. Brawley. of Chester District ; A. B. Springs ol York District ; Wm. Johnston, A. B. Davidson, J. H. White, J. A. Young, of Mecklen burg county, N. C.J and John Caldwell of Char leston. Of course Mr Johnston was re-elected Presi dent of the Company, as no Road ever had a bet ter officer or one who more successfully conducted its business operations. The chief engineer of the Road, Mr T. J. Sum ner, has also faithfully and satisfactorily performed his duties, and is esteemed by the company as a gentleman well qualified for the responsible posi tion he holds. Wm. F. Davidson. Eso.. Senator from this eountv, who has been confined to his bed for some time in Raleigh by an attack of typhoid fever, has returned to his home in this place, and we are glad to learn that he is now improving. ' Victor C. Barringer, Esq., of Concord de livered a lecture before the Young Men's Chris tian Association of Wilmington, on the 11th inst. The Wilmington papers speak of the lecture in complimentary terms. We learn that our spirited military company the Hornets' Nest Riflemen, contemplate visiting J Nc where on the 22d inst. Church Improvements. We learn that the Lutheran Congregation, shortly to be organized in this place, has purchased the Methodist Church Building, and will have stated worship according to the forms of the Lutheran Church. The Methodist denomination is making arrange ments for erecting a new and handsome Church edifice on Tryon street. Killed. We learn that a white man was run ore by the Express train on the North Carolina Railroad, on Friday night last, just this side of Durham station. It is stated that he was lying with his head on the railing, supposed to be drunk. Virginia Convention. The Whig and Op position Convention met in Richmond, on the 10th inst., and nominated for the Governorship William j L. Goggcn in opposition to John Letcher, Demo- ' era tic nominee. LicnT in North Carolina. It is now cer tain, wc believe, that Newbern is to be lighted with Gas the necessary amount of stock $16,000) having been subscribed. The desire to have "fur ther light" is always commendable, and none the less so when it is proposed to extract it from rosin or coal. Wilmington was the first to erect Gas works; then Charlotte, Salisbury and Raleigh; and we snppose Newbern and Fayetteville will soon be numbered among the shining towns, as we notice a company has been incorporated for the latter place. Two things are certain: Gas is a great convenience to the community, and a source of profit to the stockholders; and gas generally some times does a vast amount of good ! Railroad Accident. An accident occurred on the South Carolina Railroad on the 10th inst., about 28 miles from Charleston. A bar of iron broke and threw off two passenger coaches, and several passengers were severely cut and bruised. The South Carolinian says that an accident hap pened on the 11th, near Lewisville, throwing the engine and three or four cars from the track, but no one was seriously injured. The bill to prevent the emancipation of slaves by Will and Testament was rejected in the House of Commons on the 5th. Mr Fleming of Rowan, who introduced the bill, explained it be. fore the vote was taken. He said "The object of this bill was to prevent men from emancipating their slaves by will and deeds of gift coming into effect after their death. It would pre vent those avaricious men, who, keeping their slaves till death, then free them, and thus create dissatisfaction, with other slaves, and causing liti gation. If a man has liberality enough to free his slaves, he ought to do it in his life time, and send them out of the country. This bill also gave the freed slaves the option of remaining slaves and not be sent out of the State." Mr F's remarks are correct and to the point. But probably if the bill had passed some man's hope of paving his way to Heaven would have been cut off ; though it is generally supposed that owning a negro during lifetime, and freeing him at death, affords but au inferior passport to realms of everlasting bliss.

This shows an upward tendency in this Stock and speaks well for the present condition and management of the road." ,We have heard of sales at $65 per share, and understand that price can be obtained for all offered.

OhrrrVr Not a week passes in which we do not receive applications from New York, Philadelphia or Boston to publish advertisements of some nostrum or invention, for which about one-half the regular rates are offered. We invariably throw the advertisement in the fire, knowing that it is useless to inform the sender of our terms, which is cash and full rate. But the other day we received an advertisement from some fellow in New York who signs his name Henry R. Costar, offering for sale an article called the "Rat, roach and bed-bug Ex terminator." He not only wanted us to advertise for almost nothing, but he wants a list of all the merchants and dealers in Charlotte, and wants the reliable ones particularly marked. We suppose he wants to send out his circulars or practice some other annoyance of the kind, to help do which wc shall certainly not aid him. But if he will come here and administer his remedy to all the rats and bugs in town, and guarantee that they will not survive the operation and continue their mean practice of disturbing people when they are trying to reepperate, recreate, and strengthen their physical ability, we will give him one insertion gratis, and all the "reliable dealers" will thank him with joyful tears ih their eyes, and no doubt have his picture taken to commemorate the memory of a very wonderful man. We do not charge Mr Costar anything for this notice. While we think of it we will just say that we hope Hotloway will write us no more letters about advertis ing, for when we open one and see his name to it and no money in it, we tear it up without reading. So he would do well to save his postage stamps and paper. Famine in Canada. The distress which pre vails in some of the townships of the county of Bruce, in Canada, is represented as most appalling. There, are hundreds of families verging on starva tion; many of the best and thriftiest farmers are destitute of the wherewithal to carry them through till another harvest the crops of the past year j having almost proved a total failure.
