From the remarks which followed the above extract from the Journal, wc ;ue at a loss to know whether the Carolinian is alluded to, or the Tarhoro Press. It cannot be both, for only one is enumerated. If the Journal wants a more diicct and deci sive approval of the "course of the majority in the Legislature,'" than the Cirolinian has given, we are at a loss how to give it. We have not s-id one word against the said " course," but many for it. . If it was treason to say that that "course" would meet with "some disapproval," we p'ead guilty. Wre think the whole of the Journal's article was uncalled for. We can see no benefit to be derived from questioning the opinions of those who differ upon this subject. The Tarborough Press had a right to disapprove; so lias the Char- Western Carolina, would bo a curious ex cursion. The Observer says : The V est brot' forward no candidate, but the Legislature decided that point, and decided it in accordance with the opinions of ninety -nine hundredths of the people every where, and of all parties!'' Well he can have our hat. The Register cant hold a candle for him. He is a wonderful iruesser it noth ing ele. lotte Jeflersonia ;nd they did so; the. latter though in a somewhat undecided manner, as will he seen by the extract under "opinions of the Press." We learn by the Xewbern Republican that some of the people of tint town doubt very much doubt whether they will be benefitted by the im provement, &.C. But it is not worth while to call everybody to account for an opinion. Opinions are only opin ions, whether they be well or ill founded ; and the public will only give them their due weight. The Journal knows th::t we have set our face against making the befortmcntioned " course of the majority" a party question, by saying that " the greatest knave will cast the first stone." But if it does not enter the political arena, it will be a rare instance in State politics. We could say much more on this subject, but we think it had better rest at what it is at. (Ci- The Artesian borers for good water, in j Charleston, have bored to the depth of oOO feet (.t inches, and have to go stiil further. At that Over two columns of the Observer, are devoted to the annihilation of Mr C, but we think he will survive itl We can only say, without the vote of this Congressional Diatiict this side the mountains, or nearly so, the old North State would long since have been engul plied in the embrace of Democracy, anil irretrievably so, year after year- It is the honest yeomanry ot our mountains that gives North Carolina her I- roud position as one of the most gallan and uiitlincliino; hiy-States in the Union, that gives her an eminence that all may be proud ot ; and we say it is unjust, unfair and ungenerous, to treat us as we have been treated, with but one exception ; in all past time in distributing offices and expendi tures. Furthermore, Mr Glinghman has done more than any man in the State to strengthen and unite the W'hig party in the Western Reserve for the last ten years. Mr Clingman is not an isolated case by any means, for cause to complain. We w ish it understood that we are not ihe ad vocate for sections or particular localities, but let it be distinctly understood, that we are opposed to having all- our revenues emptied into dismal swamps, frog ponds and eastern rivers, without ever reaping any advantage therefrom, and that we have minds to suit ourselves, channels of thought, and independence of principle, aside trom juntoes, central cliques or Raleigh dicta tion."

The Asheville Messenger, whig, is out ;,s hot as pepper against the Raleigh Register and Fay ettevillc Ob: erver, because of their tieatment of Mr Clingman. We give a few choice extracts ' th.it are cert.duly rich : J Now we were not there, but are well j Mr Niles of Connecticut, and Mr Allen of Ohio, both democrats, tilted into each other very severely in debate in the Se nate, on the 5th. -Mr Niles is the cham pion of the bill to reduce postage, and Mr Allen is in favor of a greater reduction than the bill calls for. Mr A. waged war against the ocean steamers which have been built to carry the mails. Ile said that they were the invention of those who wanted a high tarifl and heavy expendi tures to make it nccessai A'. He charged that the first ocean steamer Avas got up just about the time that Mr Niics turned his somerset in politics, on the tarili' question. He charged Mr Niles with deseiting the democratic party, and w ith having assailed that party with more bitterness and venom than any Senator of the whig party, and of course, he, Mr Allen, came in for a large share of his denunciations; but he did not care for that; he expected to be as sailed by the enemies of democracy; he was proud of the malice of such enemies. Mr Niles replied in a very calm manner, but pungent language. Mr Ni'.es denied having turned a Somerset, but charged Mr Allen with havirg turned one! That was rather a poor get oil. Mr Niles said that it was news to him to hear that he had de nounced the democratic party.

It is true, in the last vote, the extreme forlorn hope, that Cling man received but few, but to say by that that he was the choice of only this number, is to assert what the Register nor any one else can substantiate. For in the caucus, there I'here is i:o more free trade in that act, he said, than there was in the act of 1842. Kven according to Secretary Walker's re port, it is only two or three per cent, low er than ihatof 1842. He jeered Mr Allen with having accompanied Gen. Cass from Washington to Ohio by way of New York, on an electioneering: tour. February 6 The Senate was engaged principally on the bill in relation to a railioad across the isthmus of Panama- Mr Underwood of Kentucky, opposed the bill, and if his ar guments were based upon facts, his rea sons against it were strong. . From the best information he could obtain, he said, he would show that the amount of money w ere a very large minority number, wht tler.laied their nreference for Mr Clinrman: one said he would as soon "shake hands , the United States Would be called upon to with a rattlesnake" as with Mr Badger, but he felt bound to go for the nominee so with many others. They were intimidat ed, teased and threatened into Mr Badger's ranks, at least a portion of them, not from choice, but from necessity. Does not the Register know that the vote in the Senate was almost the entire Whig vote ('in the first balloting,) for Mr Clingman? The Fayctteuille Observer makes out Mr Cling mau a very ignorant man, and refers him to the Constitution, and then brings up a number of names west of the Yadkin, classes them as Western men, thereby proving the falsity of Mr Clingman's posi tions! He thenVites to Stokes, Franklin, Swain, Morehead and Graham,as all being Western men, and elected expressly be cause they were Western men ! v As for ourselves, we dont call anything West in this State, " till it 'strikes the mountains. To go to the liieahders of the Yadkin to find pav, would build the road, and thus the government Would construct a road onlv for the privilege of using it, while Messrs Aspinwall & Co. would only superintend the expenditure of the Government money, and reap all the prollts of the road. Mr Foote presented a memorial from Peter A. Hargous of New York, in rela tion to a railroad across the isthmus of Tehuantepec. This memorial, after sett ing forth the advantages of Tehuantepec for a route, nercly;..asks the government not to give advantages to any other com at present. - i Mr Dayton -replied to Mr Uuderwood, and figured it out that the government would get the , amount of money back in transportation, He argued that the Pana- Missisaiii ppi to the Pacific. Benton went on to make a speech: but his accc!i was made up of readings from the report of his. own son-in-law, Mr Fremont. In other words, it was another among the many speeches he has made solely to glori fy his sou. The bill proposes to make a rord or roads through the public lands- The track to be one mile wide, so that a num ber of roads, railroad, plank road, Mc Adam road, or common road can be built. The road to be made first not to be con fined to one particular kind, but may be partly constructed on all the ditlerent plans, according as practical men may consider the location most calls for. In the Houm', the proceedings were of no interest. February 8. In the Senate, private bills were the or der of the day. The proceedings of the House were of no special importance. ROSCIUS AGAIN UPON THE JJOAUDS. The telegraph from Cincinnati, Feb'y 2d, announces the election of the Hon. Henry Clay to the United States Senate on the 1st inst. , for six years from the 4th March next, in place of Thos. .M. Metcalf, appointed b) the Governor to fill the va cancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr Crittenden. The reappearance of such a finished ac tor upon tlie stage reminds us of the cele brated question of Shakspeare, "What bloody scenes, has Roscius now to act? ' Alter the pathetic manner in which he re tired from the Senate of the U. S. in March 1842, his reappearance on the same thea tre isa phenomenon which is calculated to excite a world of sui prise and of specula tion. We all recollect the ocean of pa thetic tears with which he was borne out of the Senate chamber. We all recollect the splendid picture of this valedictory scene which was afterwards gotten up with so much eclat, and which hangs upon many a parlor wall, with its hundreds of fac simile faces, taken with a world of pains from the life, to commemorate this illustri ous spectacle. What has become of all this scenic illusion? -What has become of the touching letters which Mr Clay ad dressed to his friends on his "dignified re tirement," as it was then denominated? Are all these effusions forgotten? (V are they to be called up to remind the world of the "vanity of human wishes," and the active aspirations of sleepless ambition? Are we again to be reminded of the memo rable anecdote of Theinistocles weeping over the laurels of Miltiades? Why does Mr Clay staik once more upon the stage? Wny has he burst the cerements of the political tomb to mingle once more with the stormy intrigues and tumultous debates of the Senate chamber? Be his "intents wicked or charitable?"- Does he come forth -to serve his country, or to gratify his ow n purposes? to stir or to still any wave that may rise upon the surface to thwart or to promote the administration of Gen. Taylor? Washington Union. (KrWe learn that Geo. C. Dekay, Esq, commonly known as Commodore Dekay from his having held that rank in one of the South American navies, died, after a protracted illness.- He as as iu many re spects a remarkable character. He was a brother of Dr. James E. Dekay, the emi nent writer on natural history It will be remembered that he commanded the fri nte Macedonian, un her voyage ot benefi cence to Ireland. AT. V. Com.

It is known that the dealers in beautiful Circassion women bring them to Constan tinople, and expose them for sale, and in deed to all the large oriental cities. Da mascus, Aleppo, Alexandria, Grand Cairo &c. Wherever tiie Musseiman religion prevails female slavery exists. In the mountains of Circassia, where the pure anil bracing air prevails, those beautiful creatures are raised raised, some mav say. by cultivation, as we raise delicafo fruit and 'lowers watched, trained, their diet regulated. Their complexion guard ed, taught such accomplishments as the country will allow, carefully attended to, and pei iiiitted to perforin no menial offices These delicate and charming creatures arc the very essence of oriental beauty with blue eves, complexion like alabaster, and a shape ami limbs which might rival the Meilicean Yeicis. They arc at the early age of fourteen, collected by their -owners, and, joining the carivans for Constantino ple, arrive without fatigue at what is deem ed a profitable market : and the brokers ate forthwith despatched among the rich and luxurious, to inform them that splendid prizes ot exquisite beauty have arritd, and are for sale at the highest bidder. The Rev. Dr l)urbin,on his arrival at Alexan dria, walked down with his guide to tho market. " We came," said he, 'to a rough stone building, not more than twenty feet square, with no opening in it but a door. Look ing in, Ave found it full of boys and girls, from ten to twenty years of age. The tall, lean, Nubian slave merchant, a savage looking black, at the door rose . out of his dark corner and stood before me showing his ivorv teeth in his eagerness to sell one of his slaves. Seeing mv eyes rest unon a Nubian girl of fine full form, with a loose garment thrown around her shoulders, ho made her rise and come forward, and then uncovered her neck and chest and pressed his hand on her person, evidently to sat isfy me. 1 asked tiie price. One hundred and fifteen dollars. I manifested hesita tion, and he called up a more delicate and sprightly looking Abysinian, with eyebrows painted blue. lie made her expose her teeth and tongue, drew aside her vesture, and invited inspection iu the midst of the crowd. I narrowly watched these females during an exposure so singular to us, and could read nothing but submission and iu difference to their fate- In one of them there was a slight shrinking which nature under this weight of night involuntarily compels, I turned a way with horror at the scene before me, where virtue had not tho privilege of contest nor the apology of temptation'' This, however ('continues the Times. 1 was on a small, probably a vulgar scale.
