Directors of the "Western Railroad have been negotiating for some time with-a northern house on matters connected wun .ine . itoaa. Tne urst iruits or this ne- gotiation are a transfer by Smith & Colby of their stock, to trustees, to be by them conveyed - to the Company whenever the sum of $350000 ' y shall have been subscribed (including the sub- scription of $03,000 already made) to the capi- ' tal stock of the Company by the people of this Vicinity. -The President and Directors have a made an arrangement which is ;to form the basis of a contract for the building of the Rond. By - this arrangement a northern house of Engineers ... are to take, the entire contract for building the Road from Fayetteville to the Coal Mines at '- the estimates.Tof the Compauy's , Engineers. This contract includes the building of a depot . and machine shop in Fayetteville, and a depot .. at theRjverf depotsjalong the toad, as well as '$110,000 worth of running stock for the Road. The iron is to weigh60 lbs. to the linear yard, that on the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad K v ,...T;eigh. 52Jbs'.J and the ' Joints to be pnojled - Dy cnairs. v iuc graue 01 ine xvoau is not. 10 ex ceed SO' feet per mile. i To do all this, jthe necessary amount of mo ney is to be raised as follows: $350,000 arc to be subscribed by the friends of the Road, and $150,000 arc to be taken by the contractors. The contractors are to receive $200,000 in the bonds of the Company, bearing 7 per cent, in terest, and payable in 1875. This makes $700, 000, lacking less than $200,000 of furnishing the amount necessary to pay the contractors according to the estimates of the Company's Engineers. This amount is to be raised by issuing bonds of which the contractors are to have the refusal. These constitute the most important items in the contract which we under stand is to be submitted at an early day by the President and Directors of the Company to a General Meeting of Stockholders. JK2f We learn from tire contractor, Mr M. McKinnon, that he will commence running the line of tri-weekly post--hacks on the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road, between Fayetteville and Salem, this evening. The days of arrival and departure have not yet been definitely fixed. A Cautious Resolutiox. At a recent mcet ing of the whigs of Montgomery county to ap point delegates to their State Convention, the following resolution wa; passed: Resolved, That we have increased confidence in the principles generally held by the whig party." A circumspect set of whigs, they of Mont gomery. They don't go the entire figure, but only in a ge ntral way. We snpjosc each one makes such reservations as suits his views best. Well, this is a very good and honest way of doing business, and it admonishes whig journals to be a little cautious how they attempt to bamboozle the people. IQT On the 2d inst., there was a meeting at Tammany .".Hall, 'New. '.York, of the democratic "Soft Shell" Committee to take into considera tion the Nebraska question. Resolutions were passed by a large majority affirming, 1st. The finality of the Compromise Measures of 1850 as a settlement of the sla very agitation. 2d. The right of the people of the territory to determine the question of slavery for themselves. This is an endorsement of Mr Douglass' proviso to the Nebraska and Kansas Bill, repealing the Mis souri Compromise. Yet these men are styled free-soilers, and Gen. Pierce is on that account blamed for placing some of their party in office ! Large Drove of Turkeys. We learn from the Salem Press of the 4th thata drove of more than sixteen hundred Turkeys passed that place on the 3d inst. They were en route for Charles ton, S. C, and came from Smith county, Va. The drove travels about seven miles- per day, and eats up seven bushels of corn in the same space of time. The corn is strewed along the road, and "the Turkeys in that way toled along. - We should like rights well to sec this "Turkish host" (for so the Press facetiously styles it) marshalled somewhere in the precincts of our town. We would not, however, vouch for the personal safety of the regiment. We think it would be difficult to restrain the violence of the masses, particularly if it were ascertained that the Omar Pacha at the head of it could be bought over. -Caunot the Pacha of sixteen hundred tails give us a call ? Dedini, the Pope's Nuucio, whose pres ence in different cities in the North has been the signal for popular outbreaks, left New York on Saturday last for Europe. His departure was managed so adroitly that the mob did not get wind of his movements, and he got off with out any disturbance. t&" We insert in to-day's paper a communi cation recommending George Bower, Esq., of Ashe, as the democratic candidate for Govern or. Mr. Bower is a gentleman of excellent sense,' great force of character, and wide and Justly deserved popularity. "He would make an excellent Governor. JT Democratic meetings in Yancy and Madi son counties have recommended Col. W. W. Avery of Burke, as the democratic candidate for Governor. .

" ; V - ' i : '. . - ; - . ;w - ' , " '- :' 4 The first' half c f the nineteenth century was one of the most . s tirring periods in the history of the world, and ft is highly probable that the latter half will witness scenes and events of equal importance! r- Never, before the wars of NafK) Icon, had the wo rid beheld such a conflict of mighty powers, such a battling of the hosts of empires, such " consummate military skill, such resources and su h energy brought to bear in the dreadful work of war. Then the combined powers of EurofM ; were arrayed on one side, whilst France sto d almost solitary and alone on the other. N w, however, France finds her self s'd'i by side ith England, preparing to re sist the agsrressioi of that mighty leviathan of the North which seeks to lave its sides in the Arctic seas: on the one hand, and in the Medi terranean on the other, Russia has long ar dently desired to ecome a great naval power. Her situation, am want of good ports, has pre vented the accomplishment ;f this cherished ob ject. ; Casting around her .for-, the means of sup plying this deficie icy, her greedy . eye has fas tened upon the ' r Iendid harbor of Constanti noplc. . Her poljcy has for along time been tending towards tlie acquisition of this impor tant point, j It was the cherished object of the Emperor Alexander, the brother and immediate predecessor of thel present Czar. Had, Napo leofi "Bonaparte' f tllen-iJwith nis viewi trihis1 particular, Russia would not have gone over to England, and the alliance ratified at Tilsit between France and Russia would not have been broken. Napolecn well knew that if the Czar was permitted to a!bsorb Turkey, Russia would become a great naval power, and soon acquire such an overwhelming preponderance in Euro pean affairs, as utterly to abrogate everything like a balance of power. He therefore, wisely resisted the overt ires of the Czar. The present war between '"'Russia and Turkey is but the legitimate consequence of the grasping policy of the former. E very indication tends to show that it will not b confined to the two powers immediately concerned. England and France have been alternating the part of mediators, juntil their, patience is well nigh exhausted. They are now ser ously and energetically pre paring for a trem ndous struggle. The advices by the Arabia confirm the intelligence of a great battle at Citale, in which the Turks were victori the Kussians losing lour thousand men. ous, The effect of the news of this disaster upon the Czar Nicholas, ca ii scarcely be expected to be favorable to peare. His nature is proud, his will is strong, his resources for carrying, on the war considerable. I It is natural therefore that he should be unv illing to make peace under circumstances so veil calculated to destroy the prestige of Russian arms and to weaken the in fluence of Russu among European powers. Moreover, the fleets of England and France entered the Black Sea on the 5th of January, for the avowed purpose of protecting the Tur kish convoys. II iv can the Czar regard this but as an interference in behalf of Turkey? Will he make peace in the face of such interfer ence? The thing is improbable. We look. upon a general European War as cefiaiu. Austria and Prussia have but on the semblance of neu they be able to preserve it ? much under Rus- traHty, but will They are known to be very sian influence, an for feeble nations amidst the shock on either hand. of the present century shows how difficult it is to preserve their neutrality of strong contending powers ,Ve may, therefore, confident ly expect a generil European war, in which the the one hand will be France, cy, and on the other, Russia, ria.

Fortunate Europe, d the history of the first part England and France will sweep from the ocean heir enemies, and will leave to be decided on land. eral mdet, we may look too for people in Hungary and in Po land, and in the Austrian provinces in Italy. But to us the most interesting question of all connected with this subject is, what will be the effect upon this country of a general European y the great naval powers of England and France are ranged on the same side. A e may, therefore, not fear any serious interrupts n of commerce, in a way like ly to affect our ir terests. The looms of Eng land and France will continue to require our cotton, though perhaps to a diminished ex tent, and the mot ths of England, cut off from the supplies of gn. in ordinarily received from Prussia and Russia must be supplied mainly by this country. We may expect the price of breadstuff's, there ore, to keep up. Under the stimulus of the pr esent high prices the produc tion will be jrastly increased, and wealth will pour in upon the great grain growing sections of our country. It is feared by many that the effect of a general! European war will be injuri- intcresf. Should the price of w to make its production pro- has abundant channels into may be advantageously direct ed.

South is not surpassed bj any region in the world. We have, therefore, atmndant reason to congratu late ourselves upen the exemption which we are likely to enjoy fro m the evils which will afflict thel ess favored nations on the other side of the Atlantic. Our g eat study will be to preserve our neutrality. Fortunately there will be no inducement for England or France to provoke our hostility. They will be as desirous as we of preserving the f 'iendship now happily existing. Under prudent management, (such as we have reason to expect rom the present head of our government, ) we have nothing to fear. Hon.

"We (the whigs) are united and united we mean to press forward boldly and fearlessly, advocating the people's right to amend the Con stitution in a Convention of the people, rather than by partizan politicia ns and the whig meet ing would so have said but for an omission." ; Well, supposing the whig meeting had so said, it would not have pronounced any new or start ling doctrine. We are not a ware that any body has ever yet denied the right of the people to amend the Constitution in a, Convention; The Constitution of North Carolina provides two methods by which it may be amended. One is by legislative enactment, ratified by the popular vote at the ballot box. The other is bv a-Coni vention. The Arcrus may e:o on as lonjr asft chooses advocating the people's right of amen- incj the Constitution in a Convention. We shall never deny that right. But what we chiefly note is the forgctfulnes oi tne whig meeting m omitting to say some th in j; in favor of an open Convention. That was one omission. And if the resolution recom mending Gen. Dockery had not been pressed upon the meeting, we should perhaps have heard that the failure to recommend Gen. Dockery was purely an act of omission! Notwithstanding all that may be said by whig prints, we believe there arc many respectable whigs scattered all over the country who would look upon an open Convention with distrust. It is a delicate subject, gentlemen; we commend it to your careful handling c s ef Lt'e at If. Orleans. disastrous news from " .

Mr Gales, of the Raleigh Register, has procured a Montague &Boardman Power Press to priut the Register. It throws off about 800 copies per hour. This is another evidence of improvement in the press of our State. We wish friend Gales all pecuniary success. If the people of North Carolina wish an able and independent press, it behooves them to eu courage enterprise and reward diligence by sub stantial marks of popular approval. Our whi friends have appreciated the importance of sus taining their presses, and, we are gorry to sayf it, have, generally speaking, shown more liberali ty in this regard than the democracy. Why just look around for the proof of this. You see in North Carolina more whigpapers than demo cratic, and generally speaking, they are better supported. Yet we know that the number of democrats in the State is greater than the ntfih- ber of whigs. We have no doubt that the secret of whig ascendancy in North Carolina for so long a time, has been the absence of pro per encouragement to democratic papers. The election is fast approaching. Much depends on the result a Governor, two Senators, and Free Suffrage. Then we say to the democracy, circulate democratic papers. Give the people the means of being enlightened. All will then be right. " We think it very probable that a strenuous effort will be made to incorporate the Wilmot Proviso in the act organizing Nebraska; but we do hope that the present Congress will not dis grace itself by inflicting so great a wrong upon the South. As President Pierce however, is so strong a friend to the freesoil faction that will insist upon the proviso, we shall not be surpris ed if he favors the disruption ! of the , late com promise. We are prepared for anything now a days." AsheviUt Sjtectator. - ,f ' - The above is a specimen of the manner in which the whig Press is accustomed to treat the Administration of President Pierce. The intelligent editor of the Asheville Spectator thinks that President Pierce will co-operate with the Free-soilers in procuring the passage of the Wilmot Proviso 1 And yet the President is known to be favorable to Mr Douglass' Bill for organizing Nebraska and Kansas, in which there is a clause repealing the Missouri Compro mise, which is but another name for the Wilmot Proviso. Both the Missouri Compromise and the Wilmot Proviso work! the exclusion of slavery from the territory of the United States by Congressional legislation. And the President who favors the repeal of the Missouri Compro mise, because it unlawfnlly prohibits slavery in the United States territory, is to be held up as likely to favor the Wilmot Proviso! If this be not rank injustice, we know not what to call it: " We learn from the Salem Press of the 4th inst., that the planks have been laid on six miles of the Fayetteville and Western Flank Road west of that place, and that the embank ment near the bridge, so .much complained of, has been laid also, and all difficulty of passing removed.
