THE RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
A communication in the Wilmington Commer
cial of the 15th inst., signed J. J. Jackson, says
thata meeting of the Cape Fear and Deep River
Navigation Company was held at Pittsboro re
cently, and the company decided in accordance
with the recommendation of the engineer, to
push ahead and finish the work this coming
summer; and to borrow the money to do it, if
necessary.
This looks encouraging. We should like to
sit by a coal fire next winter.
WEATHER. On Monday last the thermome
ter got as low as -JG degrees, lacking 15 degrees
of the freezing point. It continued cool for sev
eral days. On Tuesday morning we learn that
a slight f.ill of snow was observed. On Tuesday
night there wts said to be a slight frost, but not
sufficient, we judge, to kill vegetation.
OO" The stockholders of the Wilmington and
Manchester Railroad have authorized the Presi
dent and Directors of the company to issue the
bonds of the company for $800,000, and pledge
the property of the company for the payment of
the same.

the usual time for putting the Carolinian to press,
last week, we could only give a brief account of
w hat was done. ,
From the Report of the President and Direc
tors, it appears that the State has paid the first
half of its subscription (60,000) and individuals
have paid a little over half of theirs (44,000).
No tolls have yet been collected on the road
beyond the 18 mile post; and from those IS
miles $2,718 44 have been collected, which is
certainly the most flattering revenue ever afford
ed by any public work in the State ; and the re
port states, what is highly plausible, that these
tolls would have been doubled bad not the grain
crops of the last season failed.
Eetvveen nine and ten thousand wheeled ve
hicles passed over the road in 12 months.
It seems to be the desire of the stockholders
that the road should go to both Lexington and
Salem, after reaching Johnsonville. Lexington
lies directly west of Johnsonville, and Salem lies
"What!
(thought he) a new proxy to come here and in
sult an old proxy in that way ! I, who last year
was myself the'whole State of North Carolina
for two days, and am now an individual 500
stockholder in this here plank road, to be snub
bed in this way ! I wonder that nobody is mad."
But nobody else was mad; and the "indignant"
gentleman, with that facility with which old
political hypocrites can change their face, soon
expanded his mouth and brow to a broad grin,
(more ghastly than pleasant at all times) and
so "the meeting adjourned in great good humor."
NOT YET CAUGHT. It is very rarely the
case that a murder is committed and no clue can
be found leading to the murderer ; but there is
now a case of this kind: The wholesale
butchery of the Cosden family, in Kent county,
Maryland, remains a mystery. Numbers have
been arrested and discharged for want of proof.
In the case of Mr Motz, near Lincolnton, found
drowned, we suppose his death was accidental;
or if it was not, no one is openly charged with
causing it.
OCJ- We learn that three negro children, be
longing to Mr Randall McMillan of this county,
were burnt to death on Tuesday last by the burn
ing of a house in whch they were. There was
no one near the house at the time but the chil
dren wno were in it. i wo ot them were very
small, and the other not more than 5 or C years
old.
tAUUnl. An outlawed negro, known as
Billy McNeill, was taken on Tuesday last by a
body of patriotic citizens who went out for the
purpose. He was found concealed in a negro
house about a mile from Fayetteville. He is the
property of Mr Blossom of Wilmington, and has
been prowling in the vicinity of Fayetteville,
preying upon the community, for 15 months or
more. There is yet another desperado out, and
we hope there is spirit enough in the citizens
here to secure him also. It only wants the de
termination to do it. The robberir-s which are
nightly committed, we should suppose would
rouse the community to this duty. The gentle
men who turned out on Monday last deserve the
thanks of the town. They have done a perma
nent service.
' fJC?- From the-indications apparent indiffer
ence of those interested in the Raleigh and Gas
ton railroad we begin to think that the pros
pects of rebuilding that rond are not as flatter
ing as we could wish. The capital, it seems, is
hard to raise for such an object, and there is
said to be a "crisis" approaching either its
discontinuance, or permanent repair by a new
company.
The Standard and the Hornet's Nest are of
opinion, that if this road he not rebuilt, it will
be (almost) the death-knell of the Central rail
road. And would at all events be a great draw
bjck to the prosperity of the Centr.il road, should
it be built. There is no doubt of that. But
speculation is useless ; tune will show what will
be done.
CONNECTICUT that uncertain State be
longs to the vvhigs this time. There is no elec
tion of Governor by the people, but the Legisla
ture will elect a whig most probably, according
to the whig accounts. Another account says that
the race it! so close, the result cannot be known
until the Legislature sits.
The delegation to Congress stands as in last
Congress three democrats and one whig one
of the democrats an abolitionist.
RHODE ISLAND. The Providence Herald
r ves the follow in-r report of the recent election
in the little G by y State:
"flip f!pnpr:i 1 Assembly now stands, including
the Lieut. Governor in the Senate, as follows:
Democrats. JVhigs. Vacancies
Senate IS 14
House 35 3ti 1
53 50 1
And now we can confidently announce a dem
flpratin tnaioritv in Grand Committee ; and that
the whole democratic State ticket is elected
Governor, Lieut. Governor, Sec'y of State, At
torney General, and General I reasurer.
And Rhode Island is now most confidently
claimed as a Democratic State. A result that
has been regarded as singular by some, but which
is in entire harmony with what we had good
reason to expect. For wherever Whiggery pre
vails any length of time in its worse type, as it
lias done in this State, the people must either
throw it off, or submit to political slavery.
fjtj- There are rumors, apparently havingsome
foundation, of another attempt to take the island
of Cuba by storm. The Georgia Intelligencer
says that 120 young men started from Atlanta on
the 10th, professedly for California, but report
aid for the coast of Florida, for the above pur
' pose. Half a dozen boxes of Rifles were also
sent by the railroad.
The authorities at Washington are said to have
private information also of the same nature.
Gen. Hugh Brady was killed by falling
from his carriage, in Detroit, on the 10th mst.,
Aged SO years.
Com. Alex. S. Wadsworth died at Washington
week before last, aged 61 years.

03- They are turning the "infant drummer" of
.New York to account, by making him give "con
certs." New York is a great place.
north-west. The fact is, every neighborhood
wants a plank road, and there is not State money
enough to build them all. Individuals are not
anxious to subscribe, and some are likely to go
unbuilt.
The salaries paid by the Company for the past
two years amount to $2,492 57, for President,
Clerk, Toll-keepers, &.c. Engineers have been
paid $'5,920 for the same time. Purchasing the
right of way, thus far, $714 23. The five steam
saw-mills cost about an average of $3,000 apiece.
One of the most gratifying statements of the
report is that which sets down the rise in the
value of real estate along the road at more than
the amount subscribed to build it.
Propositions were made to discontinue the of
fice of Treasurer and Engineer, and to further
reduce the salary of the President; but they were
voted down. We know nothing as to the merits
of the propositions. The Board of Directors
ought to know whether any of these expenses
can be dispensed with, and if so, they should
have boldly and manfully stated the fact, " with
out fear, favor or affection."
If we understand the resolution locating the
road above Johnsonville, it directs that the road
shall be built from Johnsonville to Salem, but at
the same time lean as far towards Lexington as
practicable, so as to shorten the distance to Lex
ington should a branch be built to that place.
The report of the President and Directors ex
pressed the rather absurd opinion that the State
was liable for interest because the State's stock
had not been paid in as soon as it could have
been demanded according to the charter. We
can see neither justice nor reason tor such an
opinion, because the State paid whenever she
was called, vpon; and the Directory culled for it
whenever they wanted it.
This, however, was not insisted upon, but it
seems to have led to a refunding of interest to
individual stockholders who renewed their notes
instead of paying up; so that individuals will
pay no interest except upon notes that they may
renew after the 1 1th of April (last Monday) when
the last instalment was due. Those who paid
their subscription at once, without giving notes,
are to be allowed interest on the amount.
The report recommends that the rates of toll
be reduced- This will be good news to those
who do much traveling on the road. (The re
commendation was not made, we suppose, with
out consulting the interests of the stockholders.)
The dividend declared, (one per cent.) we
think, is not without objections. It is too small
to be an object to stockholders, and may mislead
strangers as to the value of the work. When
ever a dividend of S or 10 per centum can be de
clared, there will be real good sound hard sense
in doing so. A stockholder will feel the weight
of it in his pocket. We hope the time is not far
off when such a dividend can be declared.
At a meeting of the Directors of the Road,
held on Thursday last, Mr Tillinghast was re
appointed Treasurer of the Company, and Mr
Rose Secretary to the Board.
The toll keepers were re-appointed, and
another toll house opened 33 miles from town,
or 15 miles above the Little River gate.

THE FUGITIVE CASE.
The case at Boston has at last been decided,
and the slave Sims delivered to his master. This
was not done, however, until the fanatics had
thrown every obstacle in the way their ingenuity
could invent. By such means a decision is pro
tracted, and a claimant fretted and worried for
two weeks, until he has spent as much as the
slave is worth, and himself submitted to worse
treatment than a malefactor, being obliged to
walk the streets with an armed guard as though
he were a prisoner! And yet some people lift
their ejes in gratitude and praise Danl. Webster
and the authorities of Boston that the law was
executed !
The following are the particulars of the wind
ing up of the long agony :
After the decision of Judge Woodbury,
that there was no ground to interfere with

"A RICH SCENE."
The Fayetteville Observer of Tuesday last re
fers to some of the proceedings of the Plank Road
Company with a half smile and a half frown, or
in a half laugh and half cry humor.
The "State of North Carolina," as embodied in
Mr Jones, who stood proxy in the meeting, seems
to have stirred the editor's bile.
That paper says, in regard to the election of
President of the Company, that Mr Winslow re
ceived 200 clear majority over all others, and
"yet the State wanted a little more unanimity."
And that in consequence of this little want of
" the State "
"Every body was astonished. Some were
highly amused, and smne others that is, E. J.
Hide very indignant."
Yes. E. J. Hale is "some" in his own estimation.
That is, he is some pun kins. We were not in
the meeting ourself, but we learn that he was
"indignant" quite. The room was tolerably
large, but fears were entertained that the gentle
man's slender frame would not hold his ' indig
nant" soul, which was expected every minute to
a. r
bust its case, and scatter the tragmenis oul 01
the windows and over the individual stockhold
ers (one of whom he was which). Oh! the gentle
man was very indignant. The State of North
Carolina" stood aghast at the spectacle, and
every body was astonished."
But another ballot took place, and the "State's"
little want was gratified. The State's proxy
then voted for Mr Winslow, and asked leave of
the meeting to cast the vote of the State for the
board of Directors, that he (the proxy) might
start towards home (Raleigh). JVo objection be
ing made, the vote was deposited, and "the
State" evaporated.
It was then that the "indignant" gentleman
could contain himself no longer ; and wiping
the foam from his mouth, and the large drops
of swet from his brow, his "indignant voice" was
heard to say
