Kobcrts. This last gentleman is a citizen of
New York, and is interested in the stock hold
by Seymour, Risky & Co.
The following resolution was offered by E. J.
Hale, Esq., and adopted without a dissenting
voire, viz :
" Kesolved, Tliat application be made fur
ther, for authority to construct a road to or near
J Jean fort ilarl.or."
Pouhts are entertained by many whether
under its present charter the "Western Railroad
Company has authority to extend that road
Eastward to iJeaufort Harbor. The above
resolution, if successfully carried out, will ol
viate any difficulty which may be felt in rela
tion to this matter.
On Tuesday evening the President and Direc
tors of the Company concluded a contract with
Messrs Seymour, Risley & Co., for the building
and equipment of the road. The price to be
paid is $2i,2i)0 per mile. This contract in
cludes turnouts, depots, water stations, ware
houses, wood-houses, and all necessary rolling
stock. The iron is to weigh not less than 00
Ihs. to the yard, and the road to be a first class
road throughout. It is to be begun as soon as
practicable, and finished by the 1st of July
In a portion of our last week's issue a
telegraphic dispatch was published stating that
Spain had offered to pay damages ami apologize
for the unlawful seizure of the steamer Rlack
Warrior. Rate news from Havana shows this
statement to have been incorrect. No apology
has vet been offered.
A special messenger sailed from New York
on Saturday last, in the steamship Arctic, with
despatched for the U. S. Minister at Madrid,
in which it is said he is instructed to peremp
torilv demand immediate satisfaction of the
Spanish CJovernment for the outrage upon the
Rlack Warrior at Havana.
Warren Winslow, Esq, of this place, is the
bearer of the dispatches.
Krbra!it Jloeiins in r York.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the friends
of the Nebraska bill was held in New York on
the Kth inst. The meeting was gotten up and
controlled by the. "Soft" wing of the democracy,
those who have been accused of free-soilisni, and
for appointing whom to office the President has
been so severely censured in certain quarters.
The X. Y. Herald, which favors the "Hards,"
- says of the meeting:
"An emphatic approval was given to the
Kansas-Nebraska bill last eveninirat Tammany
Hall. Seldom, if ever, has old Tammany held
such a multitude within her walls; and seldom
have we witnessed a more enthusiastic assem
blage. A large portion of the audience was com
posed of hard shells; but the speakers and man
agers belonged to the soft wing of the demo
cracy. The latter has now taken its stand
boldly; it remains for the "hards" to perform
their share of the work, and assume their part
of the responsibility." When New York is be
lied so foully, it becomes no man to remain si
lent. Let us have a hard shell meeting in favor
of the Nebraska-Kansas bill."
Thus it will be seen that the "Softs "have
made the first demonstration in behalf of the
South. We shall probably soon hear from the
other wing of the New York democracy.

Democratic Victory in' New Hampshire.
Behold at last (says the Washington Union)
how brightly breaks the morning of our new
year's election ! The noble democracy of the
Granite State have gallantly withstood the
combined assaults of federalism and abolition
ism. The victory, though won by the severe
and protracted efforts of brave and true men,
and though not so overwhelming as we have
been accustomed to record on each returning
New Hampshire election day, still wants no
element of completeness. It is a victory of the
true men of our party, single lumdcd, over the
most powerful combination against the consti
tution and the Union New England has ever
seen.
An extra from the office of the New Hamp
shire Patriot, shows that 158 democrats are
elected to the houses and 144 of other parties.
The towns to be heard from elected six demo
crats last year. There can be no doubt that
these towns have chosen at least four democrats
now. we nave the returns oeiorc us. n win
thus be seen that the democrats retaiu full con
trol of all branches of the State government, all
other reports to the. contrary notwithstanding.
The results are a democratic governor ; a
democratic council ; a democratic senate ; a
democratic house ; aud two democratic United
States senators.
Rehold how brijxhtly breaks the morning !
New Hampshire, the Star in the East, shines
brightly on the Union, and beacons her sister
States, and the democracy everywhere, to the
approaching struggle and the coming triumph.
Sew Hampshire Election.
The Observer, in commenting on the Ntw
Hampshire election and the defeat of the demo
crats, in its Monday's issue saj's :
" If Southern people are wise they will leain
one important lesson from this and other events
now passing before them, lhey will learn what
reliance is to be placed upon the assurance of
locofoco presses and orators in our midst, that
the Northern loeofoeos may be depended on lor
doinir justice to the South. So far from it,
here is an instance where they desert their
President and their party by thousands, go over
to the whigs or the Free Soilcrs, either, or any
where, rather than permit a measure of justice
to the South to be adopted."
It strikes one as somewhat extraordinary that
the Observer should make the Nebraska ques
tion a test by which to try the justice of North
ern men to the South, when the Observer itself
only a few weeks ago was by no means favor
able to the measure, and in fact had expressed
some degree of opposition to it. Suppose the
Observer should go back a few weeks and try
itself by the same test !
Rut what will the Observer sav now that it
is ascertained that the democrats have carried
New Hampshire, electing Governor, securing a
majority in the Council and both houses of the
Legislature ? If the defeat of the democrats
in New Hampshire proved that no justice was
to be expected for the - South from the demo
crats at the North, then we ask what docs their
tunes prove? Does it not prove that justice

J. A. Gilmer, &c, we cannot but believe it bythe judiciary committee to whom the matter
very significant. The Patriot thinks that the Veen referred:
resolution ought not to have placed any condi
tion or restriction on the proposed Convention
in favor of the present basis of representation.
This is just the sentiment which we supposed
was held by the whigs of the West, but wc con
fess we were not prepared to witness such att
exhibition of independence as is displayed by
the Patriot on this subject. Is it not perfectly
plain from this that the whigs of the West de
sire what they came out so strongly for in the
Western Address, published in 1851, a change
of the basis of representation? They regard a
Convention to amend the Constitution without
the power of making this change such a Con-

Maine was first called "Marshooven,w but
about 1638, took the name it now bears from
Maine, a province in the west of Frauce. The
name is originally derived from the Cenomanni,
an ancient Gallic people New Hampshire was
the name given to the territory grauted by the
Plymouth Company to Capt. John Mason, by
patent, in 1639, and was derived from the pa
tentee, who was governor of Portsmouth, in
Hampshire, England. Vermont is from rerd,
green, movt, mountain. Massachusetts was
named from a tribe of Indians iu the vicinity of
Boston. Roarer Williams sa vs the word signi
fies "blue bills." Rhode Island was so called
in 1644, in relation to the island of Rhodes, in
the Mediterranean.
New York was named in honor of the Duke
of York, to whom this territory was granted.
Pennsylvania was called after William Penii.
In 1664 the Duke of York made a grant of
what is now the State of New Jersey to Lord
Berkley and Sir George Carteret, and it receiv
ed its name iu complement to the latter, who
had been Governor of the island of Jersey.
Delaware was so called in 1102, after. Lord De
La Ware. Maryland was named in "liUtiOr of
Henrietta Mana, Queen of Charles I, in his
patent to Lord Baltimore, June 3, 1632. Vir
ginia was called after the virgin queen of Eng
land, Elizabeth. The Carolinas were named
by the French, in honor of Charles IX; of
France. Georgia was called iu 1C92, after
George II. Louisiana was named after Louis
XIV., of France. Florida received its name
from Ponce de Leon, in 1512, while on his voy
age in search of the fountain of youth. lie
discovered it on Easter Sunday in Spanish,
Pascue Florida. The States of Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, In
diaua, Ohio, Arkansas, and Missouri, are all
named from their principal rivers, and the names
are of Indian origin excepting, perhaps, Ken
tucky and their meanings involved in some
obscurity. Tennessee is Curved Spoon ; Illi
nois, the River of Men ; Mississippi, the whole
River, or a river formed by the union of many.
Michigan was named from the lake on its bor
ders. Iowa is an Indiau name : also Texas
signifying "Beautiful." California was thus
named by the Spauiards at a very early day.
