THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, F AITJE TT EVILLY N, t) NORTH-CAROLINIAN. : FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. Saturday, November 12, 1S53. TELEGRAPHED FOR THE C AROLIMIA W. New York, Nov. 10th. Sales of Spirits Turpentine at 66 and 69 cts. per gallon, cash and on time. The Steamer Franklin, from Liverpool, has arrived. Cotton steady breadstuffs advanced. War question unaltered. Dally Mall West. By a resolution passed at the last Congress, plank roads are made post-routes in all cases where, in the opinion of the Postmaster General, the public convenience requires it. That the public convenience requires additional mail fa cilities, and that the traveling public require greater accommodation between Fayetteville and the moje western portion of the State, is, in our opinion, undeniable. There is a very large trade carried on between this place and the back country, which necessarily induces a heavy correspondence. Most of this correspon dence, we believe, takes the circuitous route via Raleigh so as to get upon the daily line which extends from that place westward. We have CnTaTTroutcs connecting Fayetteville and the west directly, but they are h-orse mails, and leave each ftrice per ireek, making four mails per week. They run, too, in directions widely different. Now the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road should, for many reasons, be the mail route be tween this place and the West. It runs through a section of country which finds its market at Fayetteville, and the merchants of which have constant dealings with this place. It offers a highway upon which vehicles can always pass. This will give certainly and punctuality, which are matters of vital consequence, in the delivery of the mails. What we need is a daily line of two-horse post coaches between Fayetteville and Salem the first the largest inland town in N. Carolina, and the other an important back-coun try town at present the terminus of the F. & W Plank Road. There would undoubtedly be a large and constant stream of travel on this route if it were established. Not only would it great ly benefit us, but it would prove almost equally a benefit to our sister town of Wilmington the largest town in the State. The CapeFear River r.nd the mail routes already established put Wilmington into full connexion with us, and the route we propose would place her in full connexion with the back country with which section !-he has large dealings. A good chan nel of travel and communication between Fay etteville and the west is a matter of the greatest importance to Wilmington. We therefore call upon the papers and people of that town to unite with us in this application. The contract could we think be let on very favorable terms. There can be no want of power in the Postmaster Gen-1 eral to establish the route, and if convinced that the public weal requires it, we doubt not he will concede it. We r.re indebted to Hon. J. C. Dobbin for a copy of thePatent Office Report for '52 '53. We have reason to believe that the course of this paper on the Maine law question is misunderstood. We have nercr said anything either for or against that law, and we desire that our position on the question should be un derstood to be what it is neutral. JBfgyThe Northern mail comes in generally 2 or 3 hours behind the schedule time. This deprives us entirely of the benefit of Saturday's mail which comes by this route, as we arc com pelled to go press before we get it from the Post Office. It is a matter of vital importance with us to get our mails at the proper time. Cannot something be done by the Post Office Depart ment to rectifv this ? Fayetteville and Western Plank Road. The tolls on the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road during the month of September last were $2,804 81. For October, the tolls amount ed to $2,398 63. This result shows an increase of more than $1700 over the receipts for the corresponding months of the year 1852, and furnishes satisfactory evidence of the perma nent prosperity of the work. On that portion of the road west of Salem there are two steam mills in operation, and about a mile and three-fourths of plank have been laid down. At Salem an excellent bridge has been completed, and the grading of the hill at that place is progressing. . When finished, it will greatly improve the entrance into that en terprising town. The branch plank road from the 33 mile post to the Gulf, on Deep River, has been completed; the bridge at the Gulf has been put into excel lent repair and is now under toll. Near the point vhere the Gulf road connects with the main stem, we understand that a company have it in contemplation to erect a steam saw mill, a turpentine distillery, and a barrel manufactory. A branch plank road diverging from the main stem of the F. & W. Road, ne'ar the 17 mile post, and running in the direction of Haywood, is now strongly agitated, and it is confidently believed that th stock necessary to build it will be subscribed without difficulty. (See ad vertisement in another column.) Such a road, we are informed, would penetrate a country rich in the undeveloped resources of the pine forrest. On the whole, we think the condition and prospects of the F. & W. Plank Road are quite as favorable as its most sanguine friends could wish. It has been suggested to us by an intelligent gentleman familiar with the history of this work, (and we think the suggestion worthy of grave consideration,) that the true policy of the Company is not so much to push the road westward, thereby increasing the length of the main stem, as to penetrate with branches that section of country lying between Fay etteville and the Central Railroad. The road beyond the point where the Central Rail road crosses it, will, in all probability, become a. feeder to that work. Why should Fayette ville build plank roads for the benefit of the Central Railroad? Would it not be better that our energies should be exerted in building roads ramifying from the main stem of the F. & W. Road into a country whose produce would find a market at Faj-cttcville? Let the Company take these things into consideration. Prof. Emmons in the West. We learn from the Asheville News of the 3d inst., that Prof. Emmons passed through that place a few days previous en route for the extreme western coun ties. His visit is for the purpose of examining the copper mines of that region. We understand, adds the News, " that he found copper ore on the premises of Col. J. L. Carson, of McDowell county, which he pronounced worth $G0 per ton. ITCr Cooley r.nd the As ministration. Mr Ccoley, the candidate of the "Hard" de mocrats of New York for Comptroller, recently at Syracuse made a speech iu which he assailed President Pierce with great bitterness. The Albany Argus, the head organ of the "Hards," commends this speech in a general way. But the N. Y. Herald, another "Hard" paper, lias the sagacity to see that Mr Cooley overshot the mark, and takes occasion to condemn the speech in the most emphatic manner, going even to the length of calling it vvgcnllemanly. Mr Senator Cooley has certainly gone quite far enough to damage himself and the "Hard" ticket general ly very sensibly in the Empire State. It seems that this party are gradually assuming a posi tion of antagonism to the President. We regret to see this, for there are some in it who were at one time justly considered " shining lights " of the democracy. If it must be so, however, the Presielent is quite strong enough to get along without them. thus rendering: null and void State Ele't'ons. Maryland. The election in this State has resulted favorably to the democrats. They have elected a Governor and four out of six members of the House of Representatives. Owing to the liquor law element, they have lost the Legisla ture. New York. On the 8th an election was held for Scc'y of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, At torney General, Canal Commissioners, &c. The divisions in the democratic party have caused a whig triumph. The whole whig State ticket is supposeel to be elected; autl the whigs have car ried the State Legislature. A good deal of fight ing and excitement prevailed in the city during the election. In the sixth ward the rioters took possession of the polls, and scattered the tiek- et"fW"the wind the vote of that ward LorisiAXA. New Orleans, Nov. 8 The de mocrats have carried all the local officers in the city by 1,000 maj. The two senators, and all the representatives but 3, are elected. Dunbar, dem., is elected to Congress, and SlidelFs re election to the U S Senate is considered certain. New Jersey. The democrats have electee! their Governor and carried the Legislature. Medill, democrat, is elected Governor of Ohio by a majority of 61,843 ! Gill's Bcrxisii. The manufacturer has pre sented ns with a box of this excellent article. It puts a beautiful polish upon leather, and does not rub off in the least. So far as we are enableel to judsre, it is a superior article. We trust that Mr Gill may receive that degree of encourage ment-which his invention deserves. "Virginia Conference. We notice among the appointments made by the Virginia Methodist Conference, whose session has just closed, the name of Rev. Charles II. Hall, (son of John II Hall, Esq, of this place.) Farmville has been assigned him as his field of labor. For new advertisements see 2d page 4th column. Fire. About sunrise on Tuesday morning last a dwelling house, belonging to Mr Waddill Cade, in Lower Fayetteville, on the Wilming ton road, was entirely consumed. It was the work of an incendiary, for the house was unoc cupied. A Curious Case. A voung man was recently trietl before Judge Whitner of South Carolina, at Anderson Court, for larceny the offence consisting of stealing a pair of gloves and a pocket-book. The defend ant was convicted. lie was not to be found however. In fact he was not present at the trial. This raises the question whether it is a good conviction? The Southern Patriot, where the account originated, states that the case would not have been tried in the absence of the ac- cuseel, if the Court of the Solicitor had known the fact. This is rich. The Court certainly conld'nt have been asleep; and it would be pre posterous to suppose that the Solicitor was drnnk. What could have been the matter? The affair evidently needs explanation. Wilmington & Raleigh Railroad Company. At the late general meeting of the Stockhold- ers of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Company, the Auditing Committee submitted a highly favorable report of the financial affairs of the Company. The receipts for the year ending Oct. 30th, 1853, from through travel, way travel, freights, transportation of mails, &c, was $568,899 67. The expenses for the same period were $406, 283 31, and thenett profits $162,616 36. The debt of the Company on the 1st October was $1,156,261 12. The capital stock paid in was $1,340,213 21. The Fayetteville Presbytery, which met in this town on the 4th, adjourned on the 7th, after a harmonious TJpv Neill McKay presided as Moderator. The next ocs&iuu vim oe held in Clinton. The Wilmington Tri-weekly Commercial comes to us greatly enlarged. We congratulate our cotemporary on its prosperous condition. The Coal Fields. We direct special attention to ths letter of Dr. Mitchell, published from the Greeneborough Patriot, in another column, in which he indi cates ft forthcoming report on the geology of that region " by a gentleman every way quali fied " and " who has been a good while engaged in the necessary examinations," which will satis fy the expectations of the most sanguine with regard to the quantity of coal in that region. This is cheering intelligence. What will Mr Jno. L. Colby say when the forthcoming report makes its appearance? Will he repeat his val uable advice to his fellow stockholders in the WesternRailroad, and his disinterested sugges tions to the Cape Fear and Deep River Naviga tion Company, to abandon those works. Will the opposition of the learned Professor any long er stay the progress of internal improvement ? We trust not. And besides, we leaf n that there is $3,000,000 of California gold on its way to New York, which will somewhat relieve the money market -the crisis being already consid ered past. The money market relieved, the quantity of Deep River coal settled by an au thority which even Dr. Mitchell himself will not question, and the report of the Chief Engineer being made, what will Messrs Smith and Colby do with the Western Railroad? Will they al low the injunction to be dissolved and the road to be built expeditiously? Ah! there's the rub. jggr The Salisbury Banner, whose editor has been on a visit to Concord, says: " We found the Cabarrus democracy wiele awake, and several of them added their names to our list'. We had the pleasure of meeting and forming an acquaintance with Mr Paul, one of the editors of the Waelesboro Argus. He contemplates establishing a paper at Concord, having disposed of the Argus to Mr Cameron, who will remove it to Fayetteville. We wish Mr Paul thorough pecuniary success, and no less thorough political failure." Progress in Saval Architecture. Mr George Steers of New York, the architect of the yacht America, which a few months ago distanced the fastest sailing vessels of Europe, has constructed a model of a ship of 2,500 tons burden. She is intended for the New York and California trade, and Mr Steers undertakes that she wiil sail twenty-two miles per hour, and distance the fastest steamer afloat. He will sail her when finish; d against any other ship in the world for $10,000. There is a new ocean steamer on the stocks at Green Point, near New York, called the William Norris, which is intended to surpass all others in speeel. Mr Griffiths, her architect, is confi dent that she will make the trip to Eurrpe in seven days. She is to be launched some time in January next. Her shape is altogether dif ferent from the ocean steamers now in use, be ing broad anel very shallow. The length is 225 feet, breath of beam 37 feet, depth 16 feet, tonnage 1,267. She is to elraw only six feet water. Being built extremely light she is to be strengthened by a complete lining of sheet iron, and an iron keelson. This it is contem plates! will enable her to withstand the shock of the waves of the sea. If this experiment should prove successful it may produce a new model for ocean steamers, having much less depth than the present style. Such a change would be a matter of some importance to North Caro lina where the great obstacles to commerce seem to be the shoaliness of the bars. The X.tvy. The Ne York Herald thus speaks of the U. S. Navy: "What is our Navy ? It consists of eleven ships of the liue, one razee, twelve first class frigates, two second class, twenty-one sloops of war, four brigs, three schooners, nine steamers, and some store ships. Of this formidable array, the Mississippi is so badly armed, and her guns so light, that an English war steamer with only one large gun, could destroy her before her fire could take the slightest effect. What is this force, even as a nucleus, to contend against the fleets of Great Britain or France? We are not of those who believe that there is any necessity for a great standing fleet for the United States, though, from the circumstances of the country', a larger fleet than army is required to maintain our dignity and command the respect of other nations. But what we contend for is, that such a fleet as we have ought to be of the very first quality, in vessels, guns, captaius and seamen; and that it ought, forthwith, to be enlarged from its present low condition in numerical strength, to something like a decent footing, and to u.n extent in some degree commensurate with the progress of the country and the require ments of its commerce." The IVorih Carolina Standard. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon W. W. Ilolden, Esq., the able and fearless Editor of this paper, for his advocacy of sound Democratic principles. He has labored faith fully in the great cause of Democracy for a num ber of years. The labors of the present year have been extremly arduous audperplexiug with him. He has not only had to contend with, and beat down, Whiggery ; but he has had to con tend with, and beat down, the errors of those who had been Democrats; but had imbibed AVhig principles, lie had to contend against the mighty influence of Mr Venable, whose in fluence we are informed has been wielded against him and his paper ever since. In the discharge of his duties as an Editor, Mr Holden has stuck true to principle; and it is the duty of the Democratic party, who profess to be governed by principle to stick to him. Demo crats ol North Caronna, we sav, encourage the Standard. It is worthv of your support, and the cause of which it is an advocate. Roanoke Republican. We cordially endorse what the Republican says of the Standard. The present crisis is one of great importance to the Democratic party. Mr Venable is engaged with some others in attempting to seduce the democracy from their ancient faith. Heresies are attempted to be foisted rinon our creed. A new paper is about to be estafjfished in Raleigh calling itself demo cratic, but obviously for the advoeacy of that vrhig measure, a distribution of the public lands. The Standard is now engaged, with masterly ability, in showing up this fallaey. We think that it will be fully sustained by the party. The dis tribution hobby needs only to be examined to be repudiated by every tru3 democrat. Beaafbrt and the Interior. A short tiifle since we submitted some obser vations .on" the expediency of building a Railroad from Beaufort Harbor to Warsaw, on the Wil mington and Raleigh Railroad, as a means of connecting the Central Railroad with a port naturally and actually the best in the State, and at toe, same time affording the basis of an extension to Fayetteville which would give to the Coalegion a suitable outlet. "Ve showed that sfticli a Road, as a connecting link between the Central Railroad and the Harbor of Beau fort, possessed this great advantage over the Atlantipnte, viz: that it is about 20 miles shorterjifd supposing the country through which eafeb route passes to be equally favorable to railroad building, the cost of it would be about $300,000 less than that of the Atlantic road, ft' might have been added that the At lantic route will necessarily cross two large riv ers -the JNeuse and the Trent and that the bridgingf those streams will involve a consid erable tf&ture, whereas the proposed road from Warsaw' to Beaufort Harbor would cross no strela near so large as either of these. A great expense in the item of bridging would therefore be saved on the latter route. The rc some of the advantages which this ronteats as a connecting link between the Central Railroad and the Harbor of Beaufort. We propose now to consider this matter in a different light. We wish to exhibit some of the advantages which this route and an extension to Fayettevilld will offer as a means of transit for the coal of. Deep River to market. That; the people of North Carolina highly ap preciate the importance of the Deep River coal fields to the State, we assume as an established proposition. If any one doubts it, let him look at the action of the two last Legislatures with reference to works of internal improvement, having for their object the development of the resources of flat favoreel region. The Western Railroad Company was chartered, and the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company was not only chartered, but recciveel liberal aid from the State at two distinct periods. These facts attest the high valuation placed on the uutii iiiiuB uy me ui urm Carolina a valuation which has yet to be realized. When the realization of it comes, it will, in our opinion, very tar exceed any expectation in which the public mind has yet indulged. That it will bring into the State millions of capital; that it will give an unparalleled impetus to works of internal improvement; that it will greatly aid in building up new and important marts within our borders, as well as add to the prosperity of those already established; that it will give a stimulus to agriculture, commerce and the arts, are expectations which may almost be calleel certainties. How vastlv important. therefore, that every reasonable facility and as sistance shoidel be afforded bv the State to such works as promise to aid in this great result. How necessary that the legislator, in shaping his course of action on questi .ns of internal im provement, should have an eye iipon this "con summation so devoutly to be wished." V e proceed now to the principal object of this article, which is to show the superiority of the route from Fayetteville, via Warsaw, to Beaufort Harbor, for the transportation of coal, over any other. This is the cheapest because the most direct route. The only other roael that seems to hold out any possibility of becoming a competitor with the one under consideration for the transportation of coal, is the Central Rail road with a branch thrown out to the coal mines from some'point west of Raleigh. But we hesi tate not tei affirm that such a route would be less direct than the one which we arc now ad vocating. 'We will submit a few estimates of distances on the two routes, based upon the best information immediately at hand: First Route. From coal mines to Fayetteville by Western Railroad, From Fayetteville to Warsaw, From Warsaw to Beaufort Harbor by air liue, on the transportation of one square mile of coal According to Professor Emmons, every such square mile contains 6,272,000 tons. Now supposing the expense of transportation to be about 1 cent per ton per mile On each route, which is a fair estimate, we arrive at the follow ing estimates: One ton of coal carried via Central Rail road, &c, to Beaufort Harbor, $1 68 One ton of coal carried via Western Rail road and Warsaw, 1 57 Difference in cost of transporting one ton 11 Difference in cost of transporting 6,272,000 tons, $689,920 00 The sum of $689,920 would be saved on every square mile of coal, or almost enough to build the road from Warsaw to Beaufort. Professor Emmons calculates that there are 43 such square miles in the coal fields of Deep River. The reader can estimate for himself what the saving on this whole quantity would be. We have said nothing of any other routes than that through this place and that by the Central Railroad, because we consider these the two most eligible. If we chose, we might a fortiori establish the snperiority of the route we propose over any leading out of the State. That, however, would be entirely unnecessary. We suspend the farther discussion of this mat ter for the present. We may hereafter have something more to say. MARRIED, In this count on the 2d inst, by Itev. David S. Wil liams, Mr Ezckiel M.

This we have-done. for want of more accurate infor mation aslo the length of the most eligible routes for a railroad between those places rc spectively.Vs we have adopted the same basis of calculation in each case, we do the Xewbern route no injustice. We have supposed, further more, that the Atlantic route has been so far modified -as , to make Goldsboro', Newbern, and Beaufort' Harbor the salient points; leaving Trenton out of the question, a ud thereby mak ing the route much more direct. This we have done in order that the estimates which form the groundwork of the argument which is to follow may be stated! as favorably for the Atlautic route, via Newbern, as may be consistent with truth. For the foregoing calculation, we re mark, as on a former occasion, we do not claim mathematical accuracy. We think, however, they will be found in the main correct. If they be so, then it follows from them that the route via Fayetteville, Warsaw, &c, is II miles short er than the other, even supposing the latter to be shortened by leaving out of its route Tren ton, a point specially included in the Charter of the Atlantic Railroad Company, Perhaps the great importance of the' saving of II mile8 ,6f railway on a coal road may not at the first glance be appreciable. In order that it may appear more palpably, we submit an estimate of the saving that would be effected Improvement of Tar Rher. W. Beverhout Thompson, Esq., the principal engineer of the Tar River Improvement, has submitted a very interesting report to the Com missioners who have that matter iu charge. The report is published in the Raleigh Standard of the 9th iust. We select from it some of the most interesting particulars. The survey of the River was begun at the first obstruction to the navigation, 4 miles below Greenville. The dis tance to Tarboro' M as found to be something less than 31 miles, and the rise in that distance 12 feet and 3-10thsof a foot, which is for the whole distance an average of 4-10th foot per mile. The Engineer recommends locking aud darning the River. He says that no more arable land would be thereby submerged during freshets than is now the dams recommended being very low. The substratum which was found upon bearing to lie from 3 to 6 feet below the sandy bed of the stream, is blue clay and marl, and at some points rock. This substratum furnishes in the opinion of the Engineer as good foundation as could be desireel in the absence of rock. The report goes on to say : "There will be in all four locks and dams. The first will be established below the Syca more shoal, about 2 miles below Greenville; the comb of this dam will be raised 4 feet above the low water surface of the river it will create a navigable pool of about 7 miles in length. The second Dam will be established iust below Bryant's Creek, not quite 5 miles above Green ville; the comb of this dam will be raised 5 feet above low water it will form a navitrable pool ui auuui is nines iu lenirui. j.ne u.ira tlam will be established about half a mile above Wal ston's lauding; the comb of this dam will be 5 35-100ths feet above low water surface it will form a navigable pool of about 71 mile in length. The fourth dam will be placed about halt a mile above bparta; the comb of tins dam will be 5 6-1 0th feet above low water surface- it will form a navigable pool of about 7 miles in length, np to the bridge at larhorough. These dams will insure a depth of water suffi cient at the ordinary low water of summer, for the purposes of navigation, affording a depth of 3 feet at that time upon the mitre sills of the locks, sufficient to carry on an amount of trade far greater than the friends of the proposed im provement could desire, but looking to the future it is thought to be none too much." The lock below Greenville is to be 130 feet long on the inside, and other locks between Greenville and Tarboro are to be 112 feet in length. The total estimated cost of the four locks, including an allowance of $15,603 for clearing out logs, cutting trees and dredging, is $74,396. The Engineer then proceeds to de monstrate from the amount of produce that will necessarily pass over the improvement, the amount of tolls which will be collected, show ing that it will pay upwards of 6 per cent.' In conclusion, the Engineer bears testimony to the zeal and industry of his two assistants Messrs Daviel G. MeDuDQc, of Cumberland,- and S. T. Abert. We hope that experience will fully verify Mr Thompson's calculations. Mr Toombs. The Miiledgeville Federal Union calls on the next Legislature of Georgia to instruct Mr Toombs out of his seat as U. S.- senator from Georgia. If he will not resign in compliance with instructions, the "Union" thinks that he will be prevented from doing much misj chief, as the instructions will demonstrate how far he will be really representing the wishes of Georgia.
