The Convention -vas addressed by Messrs
K L Winslow, Hon .las C Dobbin, Mr Hol
lister and Mr Monlecai of Raleigh, Mr Mc
lhvaine of Petersburg, and Gen McNeill.
Gen McNeill pledged his reputation as an
Kngineer, that from his knowledge of the
proposed line, the road can lie built" at but i
comparatively trilling expense, and would
nVo've I'.j'Le profitable investment for capital.
Mr Mcllwanie made a statement of the
Condition of the Petersburg iojd, showing
that it is now paying six per cv.it interest,
beside. paying off the debt. And next year
it is confidently calculated, it will pay the
stockholders 10 per cent. This too after
having recently relaid the road with T iron.
Mr Monlecai. after stating the difficulties
that were experienced in Hn-Tding the Ral
eigh and Gaston road, which made it cost so
much, s'.ated that if that road had Only cost
vha! If coiflil he built for now, it would be
paving a handsome profit. But as it is, it is
paying expenses, and keeping in repair.
Great harmony and good feeling prevailed
in convention, and the speeches of the gen
tlemen who addressed it, convinced all of the
importance of the work, and the necessity
for its construction.
Previous to the adjournment of the con
vention, an invitation was received from a
committee on the part of the citizens of Fay
etteville, inviting the members of the con
vention to a dinner prepared for tlie occa
sion, at Briggs's Hotel. About two hundred
and fifty gentlemen sat down. It was a
capital dinner, and an abundance of the lux
uries cf the season was set out to invite the
appetite; anil the young gentlemen who sup
erintended the tables, did themselves great
credit by their polite attention to the guests.
It was altogether, a spirited convention ;
aiid the delegates were mostly gentlemen of
wealth, influence, and talents, which we feel
assured will be exerted to forward the undertaking.-

TAXATION IN t I L M I N GTO N. -
At a general meeting of the citizens of ihc
town of Wilmington, held ou the 30th ult.,
two resolutions were passed ; one making au
application to the Legislature for authority to
borrow $200,000, and to lay a tax of 1 per
ceut. on real estate, and 5o cents on the poll;
this tax to be over and above, the tuxes now
laid, and to be used for the payment of the
piincipal and interest on the above named
sum; said sum to be tued for building a rail
road from Wilmington to Manchester, S. C.
Another resolution, asking authority to lay
n tax o( one-half per ceut., on nil capital in
vested iu persoual properly of all kinds, was
laid over for further consideration.
ft Has also resolved, that alter the said rail
road fhili be built, and the money boirowed
paid back, the Commissioners of the Town
of WilmingtoUjshaU allot to each citizen there
of, Mock in said toad in proportion to the fax
paid ,
Tho resolution.-! ,'are '-paid to have passed
unanimously, by a vcty fu meetiug.
Mr Wise, who hn been . making ascen
sions in balloons for the last 15 years, all over
the country, proposes to the government to
force the surrender of the Castfe of St. J ban,
at Vera Cruz, by hovering over it in a bal
loon, and throwing dnwu bomb fhells into it.
The balloon to be attached to nu Ameiican
man-of-war ship, by a cord of sufficient length
to reach from the ship to ihc position the bal
loon will lake immediately over the fort.
The Government will hardly accept the of
fer, a we presume the castle can be taken,
or rendered of no avail, very easily, whenever
the Government desire it.
SWEET POTATOES. There is an
abundance raised this yea of this delightful
food. We are happy to acknowledge several
presents from the well filled hills of our friends.
Mr Arch'd McNeill of Robeson, presented us
a few weeks ago with a fine lot; and then
Mr Criinsty ave us two mammoth fellows
measuring 12 inches, and thick accordingly.
Then we have a lot of fine ones from Mr Jas.
Conolv. none of which are smaller than a
quait bottle.
Robesou is tho land for sweet potatoes, and
clever people. We hope the potato rot will
never visit that soil.
THE WAR. We give, this week, some
interesting letters from the Aimy in Mexico,
each of which presenti something new. It
will be seen that Col BaJie Peyton expresses
bis opinion very confidently, that the last
battle has been fought in Mexico. W'e hope
it may prove correct.
We have seen other letters in the papers,
but they contain nothing particularly inter
esting, if we except several from the Balti
more Buttulion, which cast censure on Gen.
Butler for ordering the charge in the face of
several batteries, in which so many Tennes
seans and Baltimoreans fell. One of these
letters snys the General is a brave man, but
he lacks the prudence and discretion neces
sary to lead men to battle. This writer
says the charge was made by Gen. Butler
without orders from Gen- Taylor; that Gen.
Butler was wounded, just as Gen. Taylor
rode up and" ordered a retreat; and that
some high words passed be f ween them, when
Gen. Tsavlor exclaimed, in a loud voice,
" Sir, f order you to retire," and then turned
to the men arid ordered them to retreat.
Now, this exclamatiori quoted, may have
been intended (or Gen. Butier alone, in order
to inaSe him retire on account of his wound,
which he was not disposed to do. But be
this as it may, we are sorry ti see that there
existed any cause for censure, or any ill
feeling on the occasimi. Gen. Butler, in a
let'er to a friend seems to feel - the censure
acutely. He sa-s, I hope you will not
think me rash. 1 know that I am often rash
vhere tiiy ow.ri safety is concerned, but not
so when the fate of others is at slake.'
Col Davis, in a letter. to his brother, states
positively and explicitly, that the Mexican
General stated during the capitulation, that
Mexico rra re ceivej' Commissioners from
the United States. So there is now no doubt
of the flict, aS Col Davis was one of the sijn
ers of the articles of capitulation.
We are glad: tdTperceive that old Fayet
tevilfe hao one representative at least in the
battle of Monterey, Mr Charles Erambert,
who was in the dreadful charge which" ftrov
ed so galling to the volunteers. But lie re
mained unscathed. We have been favored
with the following extract from his letter
h oinc : -. , - -
MoNTEREr, Sept. 28, 1846.
We have bad a battle in which
we whipped the Mexicans and took their best
city in three days' righting the best and
strongest place iu all Mexico. , There are
tea strong forts and castles which wo took.
The Mexican force was 14000 regulars and
6000 citizens, against our force of 40CO re
gulars and 4000 volunteers. Mexicans 20,
000, Americans 8000. . W'e had
in the wh.de of the fight 130 killed, and 320
wounded. The Mexican loss considerably
greater. Wo made a breast work
out of earth, mules, and Mexicans (poor fel
lows) that were shot when we charged their
breastwork.
He speaks also of the working of his "feel
ings at the sight of the wounded, dead and
dying men. A sight which only a veteran
.soldier can view with composure. C -

THAT .MUSEUM. We published last
week a list of aiumber of articles which
some wag said he had collected for a muse
um. Since then we have.thought of one or
two curiosities which might be added, viz :
One drop of a nation's tears," said to
have been shed for those who have fallen "in
their country's cause.
One of the "cobwebs "which a toper pro
fesses to wash down with his morning-dra. rot
A fly caught on the pinnacle of fame, by a
man who nearly ruined himself in' reaching
the summit, and could find nothing more
valuable or attractive. .
The specimens which have been ofTe red
are of the rarest kind, and by a little research
the number might be enlarged.
A Democratic " Captain. The edi
tor of the North Carolinian, in his paper of
tbe'3'Ut ult. says : It is said thai James
Watson W ebb, editor ol that rank whig eet,
the N. Y. Courier, applied for the command
of tho New York Reg-meut of Volunteers.
He inust have thought the President very
ffrcen." --'".'
it is evident that Capt. BayUe .objects to
Col. Webb solely on the ground of his being
editor of a whig paper. A gteal deal of com
fortable self possession rnut our "democrat ic"'
captain have, to avow such seutimeuts if he
has any whigs in ihe rifle corps which he
commands and those .whigs must he very
' green " if they are satisfied with, a political
instead of a military captain. fVtlmington
Commercial.
We remark in reply to the Commercial,
that we object to Col. Webb, not because he
is a whig, for on the same ground we might
object to many worthy men who have re
ceived appointments'. But we object to him
because his private co-id uct shows him to be
unworthy the post he aspires to. Besides
(he acts which ha ve-rendered him a subject
of ridicule before the public, we refer the
Ccrri'mercial to Col. Webb's picture as parnt
ed by his ftllow whig, the editor of the New
Fork Tribune", in the columns of that paper.'
Lord Palmerston has appointed Mr Geo.
V. Davis of Wilmington, British Vfce Con

The report of the Secretary o'f the Trea
sury states the amount received for the quar
ter ending on the 30th . September, to be
$8,735,950 and the expenditures for the
same period were $14,083,661.-
OHIO. The (New Lisbon) "Ohio Pa
triot' states that iu the last senate the whigs
had a majority of 6 (being 21 to 15,) and
note it is a lie, (IS to 18.) In tho late house
they had a majority 'of. 13, (4G to 27,) and
now it is reduced to 6, (39 to 33.) In Con
gress, (owing to ihe gerrymandering process
of the whtj: legislature,) ihc . whigs have 10
members, the democrats 9, and one indepen
dent, Samuel Lahm.
P E N N S Y LVANIA. Mr Thompson, a u
othei democrat, in favor of the Tariffof 1846,
who it was thought was defeated for Congress,
appears to be elected ; thus, we have 8 dem
ocrats and 16 whig Congressmen from this
State. Better so than the way it was before.

Alhhe parlies resided in the snie inih

and a su-piciou of improi-r intiitiMcy be
tween the guilty couple had existed fur some'
week. Au expression of this suspicion per
haps hurried tho elopement sootier than was
intended. , The community .are astonished
at Ihe strange infatuation of the feinnle, who
has thus peraiiou-lv liuked ricr fortunes with
one on whose Honor alone she could depi-nd,
and whose very act of seduction , and elope
ment shows that that glorious quality f tho
genllemau has no place in hfs bosom. Mr
Hunt has the deep and sincere sympathy of
his numerous acquaintances. His marriage,
in a family of foiluue and respectability,
was esteemed a happy one. One of our most
worthy citizens of agreeable person and
manners independent in his t ireumstances

ing family growing up around his fireside;
his (aiililes partner seems to have had no
excuse for her conduct, except the unhallowed
and absoibing passion which unbalanced her
mind, aud blinded her reason to the inevitably
hitler consequences of this fearful step. What
seductive aits were employed to woo her from
her plighted faith, ate known' only to the guil
ty pair aud to Heaven. How much theio

A Reason. Tho Pottsville, Pa., Journal,
says : A democrat, on Friday, in cogitating
over the lesult of the election, gave as a reason
for their defeat, that the flood on election day
was so great, that the raft at the head of Salt
river broke loose, and tho Whigs floated down
in such numbers that the democrats were ver
whelmed. ' -

The New Planet. 'Ihe most wouder-
ful lesult of science in this age of scientific
wonders, is undoubtedly the discoveiy of a
new planet beyond the sphere of Uranus or
Herschell, by mere induction. A few months
ago a French astronomer announced his
conclusion from long studay of the irregular
ities of thu planet Uranus that there must be
another large planet beyond its orbit, and
from the same studies, be predicted its posi
tion at a given time. The college of wis
dom heaid tho announcement with increduli
ty, but the time arrived, and ihe appointed
place in the heaven, the new planet is found,
nearly at the same time it has been seen by
