Soon after 11 o'cf.c k, A. 51., the meeting was called to oider, and organized by calling Gen. John McQueen to the Chair, and ap pointed Major li O Towuseud and Mr Johu Stubs, Secretaries. Jen. ftlcQucen opened Ibe business of the meeting with an able and eloquent speech, in which ho inuuifested the ileep interest which he felt in the project showing, in strong Colors, liie absolute Kecessily of com pleting this link in the great chain of travel between the North and South, and thus tecu liu So :he travelling public an easy, cheap, safe and expeditious inland conveyance fiom Maine lo Mississippi, forming one of the I dirATKinui Iwiiwl j f.t' union lo our rtwiimnn CoUnl'y, by iuviiiiig aiui facilitating mutual jfiiendly intercourse, and thereby smoothing aperilies, annihilating sectional jealousies, and engendering those feelings of liiendship and brotherly love which never should bo for moment interrupted b-tveeu these two divi sions of ihe U uiou. Puither, iua national point of view, the Chairman drew the atten tion of ihe meeting lo the vast iuipoitai.ee, iu I hoc of war, the contemplated road would bo as one of tile "rand militaiy defences of the couut'y. On it men and monitions of war would be Iran-ported loany given point whh a certainty and rapidity, .which would render any attempt of an invading army lo relain fooling on our hores, entirely luuie, even with the world in arms again I u--. Ceti. .McQueen continued to dilate, with much animation and ear ne.-l lies--, on the va. iuipoi la nee of the contemplated road, allud itigs in the course of his remarks, to tho great eiloits which have been mr.de in Ceorgi.i in the coiisti uction of Mail Roads, and the suc cess vvhi h awaits her persevering enlerpr i.-o. He insisted that nothing but energy ami a determined fnrit ivas" wnnl iny: oik .o Keep pacts wnu or even sutpuss our iieij;iilrs in ttio iiccommodatian of travel. Nature has ble.-Bcd us widia country peculiarly favora ble for the construction of Kail lioads, and our fortunes have ens', us iu a section of that country where every inducement is offered fr -their erection. fie shews, beyond the une-uioii of a doubt, that the best voule, ail things taken into consideration, ami ;he one which would offer the greatest inducements to capitalists, on ihe great Southern line, would pass from Haleigh, via Y ayelteville lo Camden, crossing ihe 1 ee Dee river some where between Society Hill and Cheraw. We have not space to detail all the reasons assigned by Ihe Chairman for the choice of this route over all others, but ihe chief of them weie of so conclusive a nature that a mere allusion to them must suffice, viz : the dis tance between the two points to be connected uein shoiter than either of Ihe lower routes now contemplated --the country more healthy the streams and swamps fewer in number, narrower, and less subject lo t"rehets the country comparatively level, abounding iu excellent timber, aud piovisiotis and labor cheap and abundant. Add lo these consid erations, that the towns near which ibis line would pass are more Considerable,, aud de cidedly of a mercantile character the coun try nmre thickly settled, and ihe inhabitants surpassed by none others iu industry and en terprise. IJut wc foibear to attempt even a synopsis of the remarks which fell froui the Chairman, as we would necessarily fail iu the effort. Sufiieit to say, that he elucidated the advan tages and enforced the expediency of imme diate uud eue gelie action, with much strength of reasoning, and left an impression on the minds of his audience which will not easily be ftiaced. Alter the conclusion of the remarks from the Chai, on motion of Col.

Mr S II e 1 - ly of Kentucky, who has been tried for the murder of Mr Horine, was lately discharged on bail, by Judge Iluckner, as ihe jury weie umihle lo agiee, eight leing for acquittal, and lour for condemnation. This result of the trial produced a ttemendou-, excitement in the public mind at Lexington. Hand bills denouncing the Judge and the eieht piiot, weie circulated over town, and on Monday, the 13th, at da) light the effigies of the Judge and the eight jurors were found suspended hi front of Ihe Court House, wheie they remained until about noon, a concourse of from throe lo five thousand persons having in thj meantime assembled. They were then taken dow it and burnt. Before ihe effigies were taken down, a series of resolutions were unanimously adopted, among which was one calling for the uncouditiouul resignation of the Judge. The crowd subsequently dispersed, after having agreed on a public meeting to be held at nh'ht.

BRJVJAMIN F. ATKINS. Fayellevtllw, July 24, 1846. TO THE FP.EEMEN OF CUMliE IS LAND COUNT V. Fellott Citizens: It is known to von that Benjamin F Atkins has declined the canvass r COIJl,equeiice of ihe late melancholy ren !coi,t.e between hims sell' and A McDianuid, E-q. We have no intention or wish to allude l the circumstances connected with his w ilh ilrawal, but on our own responsibility we an nounce lo our (ellow citizens, that his fiieuds will support him still, nnd.we appeal to them lor their uHrages iu his favor. There may be saiisGu-tory reasons why he should no, now personally olicit your support as a candidate, tint we call upon the freemen of Cumber land to vindicate theix riciit lo be represented, by whomsoever tney may choase, and to pat? down forever all attempts to dictate to them whom they shall elect. Mr Atkins has not been consulted by us and is entirely ignorant of this step. We act on our own responsibility as freemen, and we speak to those who like us are Ireemen, and scorn any inteiference with their rights, whether it be by open usurpation or by covert and insidious machinations. We have only to say, (miner, that die mag uanimily of Mr Atkins has given him new claims upon ihe suppoil and regaid ol his fi lends and lne people. The step he has ta ken, accoidiug as it does with his whole pre vious caieer, .thows lo Ihe woild the noble ness of his nature and the elevated character of his patriotism.

The immenso number of Europeans constantly emigrating to theUnited States, i not likely' to be less hereafter lhao it i- now. The circumstance is at last at tracting the attention of those German States, from which the efflux i niost rapid. It U said that since 1840, upwards of 60,000 Germnn have annually emigrated, and principally to Ihe U. States. An English wiiter estimate the number for the present year to be about SOjOUO. Attempts are made to explain this tendeucy by some clever thinkers ; and in doing so they slate some opiuions and facH that are worthy of notice. It appears that emigration on a small scale lo other points than the United Stttes, ha been tried with out success. The Germans have attempted to settle at the Cape of Good Hope, Brazil, Algeria, and New Zealand, but their effoits have not been satisfactory to themselves, nor tho lesults tempting to others. .Vip York Telegraph. j Suicide or Hatdon, the ARtiaT The j last stea-mer brought the news of ihe death of this celebrated arti-t y his own hand.

If he understood the words " democratic measure," it was something r favor of ihe masses the great body of the people but this bill reduces ihe dulies on the luxuries of life on all the "real articles hieh would produce revenue; he could see nothing democratic in it it was rather a great aristocratic measure. Mr Webster mved an amendment to the hill, not affecting tho ;rmce of the bill, which was carried. Mr McDuffio answered that he could point the Senator lo reductions on articles which make this bill democratic : it has r. ducet) tfce duly on sugar from two aud a half cents to. oue cent a pouud ou suar ; on salt Mum C5 eems per nusnei to about 1-2 cent ; .ou COM cotton tod whether whiir r.r nriutnH tr rrnlnrd th lnlioa tinun i , - ueeQ st reduced as to increase the importation of these good millions of dollars, at prices little more than two-thirds that which the laborers farmers, media nic.s, and others, have to pay for them, &c. &i. After several ineffectual attempts to amend the bill, the question was taken on a motion to recommit the bill to (be committee of Fi nance. This motion was lost by the cast ing vote of the President of Ibe Senate, Mr Dallas, Mr Jarnigau, of Tennessee, a whig who voted for ihe bill under instructions from a democratic Legislature, being absent at the moment. The question theu recurred on engrossing ihe bill, which was again carried by the cast ing vole of Mr Dallas, who set forth in writ ing, his reasons for voting for the bill, which we suppose he deemed necessary on account of his being a Pennsylvania, and the Le gislature having instructed its two 'Senator,' Siurgeon and Cameron, to vote agaitiat any alteration of the Tariff of 1S42. These' reasons we shall publish next week. Mr Niles moved to postpone the bill til! next December, which was ml iu order. The final vote was theu taken, and result ed as follows : Yeas Messrs Al'en, AsMey, Atchison, A tier ton, Bagby, B;?ntoii, Breese, Briyhr, Calhon ri, Cas.jj Chalmers, Colqniit, D.ckroon, Fairlie!;,', I Jiinegan, Houston, Jarn.igin, Lewis, Mt-Diiliic, Pennyhatker, Hunk, Scmplc, Sevier, Sjt iht, Tut ney, VeslcoV, and Yulee 28.
