1 i NORTH CAROLINIAN. THE NTJffiTM D&DJLgNIA K Robert K. Bryant Editor and Proprietor. FAYETTEV1LLE, N. C. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1853. FOR CONGRESS, HON. WILLIAM S. ASHE. IMPROVEMENTS. -Our town of Fayette ville is undergoing considerable changes for the better. Our style of building is improving lots heretofore va'cant are being built on, and many old wooden houses have been removed and are being replaced with substantial fire-proof brick houses. Mr Shemwell's three-story brick building on Green street will really be an orna ment to that part of the town. The Bank of Fayetteville, on Hay street, just finished, is the handsomest building that has been erected in the place within our recollection. On Gillespie street, four brick stores are building, and three others will be commenced as soon as materials can be obtained. On Hay street, a two-storv brick building (the property ofMi Geo McNeill) is going up nearly opposite the Methodist E. Church, and several wooden buildings beside MMsfinMAced, so great w-An h demand for materials of late that it has been found difficult to supply it. When our Railroad to the Coal Mines is finished, we shall then have access to an admirable quality of building stone, (referred to in Prof. Ernmons Report, which will still further facilitate improvement in architecture. CO The reader will find in to-day's paper a letter from Walter F. Leak, Esq., explanatory of the attack which he made on us at Whiteville. It seems from this letter that our information in regard to the ground of complaint against us by Mr L- was somewhat erroneous. His com plaint was, that we did not notice editorially that he had visited this county and addressed the people of it. Perhaps, we ought to have done so. Our omission to do so was not the re sult of any deliberate purpose to injoreMr Leak. The sickness, of which we have spoken in a for mer number, left us in a very weak condition, so that we were wholly' incompetent to do the edi torial business of the office for the rest of the week. This will constitute a sufficient excuse, we hop:, for the heinous ollence of neglecting to note the arrival, the departure, the doings and the sayings of even so distinguished a character as Walter F Leak, Esq. If Mr L. had possessed any charity for us, knowing, as he did of our sickness, we think he might have passed over the circumstance of our neglecting to adver tise the world of his advent to the town of Fay etteville. Suppose we had felt able to notice bis speech here, what could we have said? We might have put in something of thiskind : " Walter F. Leak, Esq, addressed the people of Cumberland, at this-place, on Tuesday last. Owing to sickness, we were not present, but we understand that Mr L. spoke mainly on the land question, advocating the policy of distribution. Those whigs with whom we have spoken on the -.-subject seem very well pleased with the views ofMrLeak. The democrats, on the other hand, disapprove of his course." This is about all we could have said. And by not saying thus much, we have incurred the dis pleasure of Mr Leak. We detest personal squabbles, and particularly when they are made the theme of public discussion. We are always ready to discuss principles and measures of pub lic policy, but when it comes to personalities, we have no aptitude for such things. This dis cussion has been forced upon us. We hope that this circumstance will excuse us to our readers. THE PUBLIC LANDS. Last week we showed by a comparative state ment of the number of votes to which the land Ashe.

Dear Sir : In your paper THE 4TII OF JULY was celebrated by the citizens of Fayetteville, in the usual manner. The gentlemen officiating in their various ca pacities acquitted themselves in the most cred itable and acceptable manner. The Oration of Mr Wright was an elesant and classical production. We hear it spoken of in the highest terms on all hands. Barring the heat of the we.it lit r, we had, oh the whole, a very pleasant celebration. CC DENTS. On the night of July 3rd. a negro man belonging to Mr J. W P-arce of this plate, was drowned in Robinson's Pond, in the vicinity of the town. His life was insured, we undeistand, at !&G00. It seems that he went to the Pond for the purpose of bathing, and not re turning, search was made for him. His clothes were found near the water, and after some fur ther search, his body was discovered" in 12 feet water. He was, at the time of leaving home, somewhat under the influence of liquor. On the -1th inst., another negro man, Louis by name, the property of Mr W. K. DeLainey, of Greenville, Pitt county, was drowned in the Tond of the Union Factory. He, in company with others, was passing over the causeway which crosses the Pond, when a gust of wind earned, bis hat some distance into the water. He jumped in after it, and before he was aware of it, got into deep water. Being unable to swim, after a brief struggle he sank to rise no more. At the same time another negro man, the prop erty of the same person, came very near meet ing the same fate. His hat having been blown into the water, he went in after it, with a part of his clothing on, which becoming - entangled with something in the water, it was with great difficulty that he reached the shore. RAIN. On the 4th instant we had a copious rain. , On the next day there was more rain, ac companied by a good deal of thunder and light ning. ' Several points in the town were struck, and a small house set on fire and burnt. OCJ- The mails from the North are extremely irregular. We have been three or four days at a time without any northern mail. We hope that the Postmaster General will see proper to send the mail for this place by way of Warsaw. That is the most expeditious and certain route. QO- The name of the Post Office in Montgom ery county heretofore called McCallunrs Store, has been changed toPekin. There is also a new weekly mail to Elizabeth town on the East side of the Cape Fear River, via Terebinth.' (B. Culbreatb, P.M..) Deseret, (Dr. T. Smith, P. M.) and White Oak, (W. S. Melvin, P. M.) States (those containing public lands) had 73 members of the House of Representatives, whilst the other States had 155 members. The latter, therefore, can control the disposition of the pub lic lands, and prevent future grants to the new States, if they wish to do so. Admitting then that the policy of such grants is wrong, which would be better, that the old States should op pose that policy and insist that the public do main should be held as a source of revenue by the General Government to meet its expendi tures, or that they should take ground in favor of distribution? We maintain that this is the proper question now before the people, for it is certain, that if by a proper effort the old States can have the public lands fairly distributed, they can, in the same way, prevent future grants exclusively to the new States. It is vain to say in reply that the policy ot making these grants is fixed. -Do not the advocates of distribution propose to vpset that very policy? And are thev not, it,mi.;.9 ,-tsi, T'jancLaemt- . crats upon that very platform ? If the policy of these exclusive grants can be upset by rally ing the forces of the old States on the side of distribution, can it not also be annulled by ral lying the same forces against those exclusive grants and in favor of the policy of holding the lands as a source of revenue to the General Gov ernment? But precedent is cited. It is said that Congress has already granted away nearly 100,000,000 acres of the public lands, and it is too late to put a stop to the practice. Does not precedent work the other way also ? Try it. Congress has never yet distributed the public lands, but has always refused to do so ; is it not therefore too late to attempt such a thing ? Is not the precedent against it ? It is sheer absur dity to talk about the policy of the Government being fixed on this question. No policy can be fixed beyond alteration in this country, if you can convince the people that it ought to be changed. The protective policy was once sup posed to be the fixed policy of England, but when that great advocate of Free Trade, Sil Robert Peel, rose up against it, and showed that it was wrong, it was changed. So may any wrong ptdicy be changed in this country. More over, the proportion of public lands already granted away is inconsiderable when compared with the whole amount of those lands. V e have now about 1 ,400,000,000 acres of public lands. We have sold about 100,000,000 acres, and nearly the same quantity has been donated to the land States. Only one-sixteenth of the public lands have then been granted away. Does this incon siderable proportion fix the policy of such grants beyond repeal ? We contend that the old Democratic doctrine of holding the Public Domain for national par poses is the correct one. We will present here st single view of the policy of distribution which, in our judgment, makes it incalculably disad vantageous. As long as the Public Lands con tinue in the la rids of the General Government, there being unity of ownership, they can be held and sold gradually as the wants of settlers may require, the Government fixing a reasonable price. But suppose that they are distributed among, the different States. Immediately you have thirty-one competitors In the market, each trying to effect the sale of its lands. Many of the St ites are deeply in debt, and would be will ing to sell their lands at greatly reduced prices, in oider to realize a speedy income from them. The market, therefore, would immediately be glutted, and the lands would be bought up most ly by speculators at very low rates. Does not any man see every day of his life the effects of competition? Can such an one doubt, for a mo ment, the result of thirty-one States being in the market each trying to sell its lands? The result would inevitably be, that those States, pressed by the most urgent necessity, would "sell their lands first at a very lotv price. These lands thus sold and bought up, to a great extent, by speculators, would continue to supply the market for many years. Those States not will ing to sell at prices very much below the present Government prices, would be compelled to hold their lands for an indefinitely long period. In the meantime the General Government, no longer having the Public Lands as a source of revenue, would have to make up the deficit by taxes in the shape of tariff duties These taxes would fall upon the people of the different States, and they would then be paying, in the shape of tariff duties, for Public Lands at the present Government price, whilst they would either be selling at greatly reduced prices or not at all. Are the people of North Carolina ready to endorse a humbug which, for every dol lar and a quarter taken from their pockets in the shape of duties on imports, will put back about fifty or seventy-five cents in the shape of pro ceeds from the sale of land-warrants ? But, says some welt meaning reader who ' has jumped to conclusions "rather hastily, how shall we keep Congress from squandering the Public Lands on the new States ? In reply we ask, hew will you make Congress distribute the lauds equitably among all the States, old and new? If you can effect this latter object, you certainly can ac complish the former, and the true policy is Dot to despair of making Congress do what is right, but for the old States with a united front to in sist upon it that the Public Lands shall be held by the General Government for national pur poses. ' What have the advocates of distribution effect ed, and what can they expect to effect towards accomplishing that equitable distribution about which we hear so much ? At the last Congress, a bill known as Bennett's Bill was introduced which proposed a distribution of the public lands alto gether unequal, giving (for instance) to Arkan sas, a State having one representative, 3,000,000 acres, and to North Carolina, having nine re presentatives, 1,650,000 acres. The great body of the advocates of distribution voted for this Bill, showing that they did not expect anything much better. Now, if this is the best that the distribution policy can do for us, let us try some thing else. Let us try the policy of insisting that the public lands shall no longer be granted away, exclusively to the new States, but be kept as they should be fornational purposes. This is the platform on which stands Wm. S. Q&- The Observer thinks that we don't treat Mi Leak as well as we did Mr McRae, because we said in an article last week that Mr Leak deserved the profound contempt of every honorable mind, for the way he treated us. The Observer must re collect that at the time we penned that article we had reason to believe that Mr L. had bitterly assailed us for not reporting his speech made at this place, knowing that we were sick at the time. Mr McRae never treated us in that way, but on the other hand, with marked courtesy in his speech at this place. The Observer gives some advice about forbearance towards Mr Leak, &c, which is very good in itself, but coming from the source it does, it necessarily sounds very ridiculous. The Whig Press of the Dis trict and of the State, though they may attempt to disguise it, manifest a very great interest iu the result of the election in this District. Straws show how the wind blows. OEORRR RRAWnT . Between the Market House and Fayetteville Hotel. July 9, 1S53 50-2m PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF PHRENO "'f . . LOGY.

The Legislature of South Carolina, at its re cent session, passed a law prohibiting the cir culation of bank bills of other States, of a less denomination than 5. The following is the section having reference to the subject : " That from and after the first day of July, any person or persons, corporation or body politic, who shall within the State, directly or indirect ly, pay out, pass or put in circulation, or cause to be paid out, passed or put in circulation, any bank note, bill , certificate or acknowledgment of indebtedness, whatsoever, purporting to be a bank note, of a less amount or denomination than five dollars, issued, or puriorting to be issued, by any bank or person or association of persons, in any other State, shall be subject to the pay ment of twenty dollars, to be recovered by ac tion of debt at the suit of the State, and appro priated one-half to the informer, and the other half to the maintenance and lepair of the public, buildings in the District where the action is brought " We have long since had a similar prohibition in North Carolina, but on account of the con venience of the small bills, the law has been a dead letter. the carving of rude images sous or two on market days in the provincial town.

We learn from the Report of the contractors to the President and Directors of this Road, that nine miles of it have been graded, and five miles laid with iron. The Eastern terminus of this Road (Brunswick) is destined to be a place of some importance. It is immediately on the Atlantic, possesses a fine harbor, and is an eligi ble site for commerce. The depth of water at the bar is atvout 24 feet, which is amply sufficient to accommodate the largest class of merchant ves sels.

It is a circumstance of some interest not known, perhaps, to many North Carolinians, that the city of Rochester, in the State of New York, containing now a population of 40,000, is named after a North Carolinian. The July number of Harper's Magazine, in an article on the growth of cities in the United States, contains the following passage: "Nathaniel Rochester, a brave patriot of the Revolution, who served his country in the coun cils and in the field in North Carolina, became a resident of Western New York in 1S10, and in 1S12, in company with two others procured from the Holland Land Company a hundred-acre lot, at the Falls, for a settlement to be called Rochester." This was the site for the present city.

The Columbia Banner savs: "We If am from the Chattanooga Gazette that a company has been recently formed in Chattanooga for the erection of a large establishment for the manufacture of rail road iron. The company is composed of men of ealth, enterprise and intelligence. and it may be safely calculated that the work will be pushed forward to completion at an early day. There is an abundance of the raw material, and the location every way favorable for such an enterprise. The growing demand for iron rails, and the high prices exacted by the European manufacturers, render it necessary that the competition at home should in some degree control the extortion aoroad. In various portions of this country we have an abundance of material, and it only re quires to be put in proper sha,pe in order to supply at least a portion of the present enormous demand." Cannot railroad iron be manufactured in North Carolina? We have ore of excellent quality and in great abundance. ' We have also an ex cellent home market for the article. It is said that the immense and increasing demand for railroad iron throughout this country will keep up the price of the article for years yet to come. Now, at present prices, cannot the manufacture of railroad iron in North Carolina be made pro fitable? Let capitalists direct their attention towards this subject. The vast resources of North Caiolina in coal and copper have been attracting a large share of public attention have no objection to this; but we do not to see "iron, the civilizer," neglected. world.
