The following'coraraunication was put in type for last week's paper, but was crowded out: For the Carolinian. . " The Atlantic and forth Carolina Railroad. Editor -- I have seen an Extra, from the Officeof a'Newberu paper containing; the intel- Jigencl that at a meeting of the Commissioners of jfth(tAt!antic and North Carolina Railroad -Cdmpi.fi ; held in Newbern on the 14th June, the sn of five hundred and one ficusaiid three dollars was found subscribed on the huhdr, books the town of Newborn. The five nor d by - the charter rws 'also "fuumt "s nni ' : . 1 rirf inn pSinfrask. "-The subscription of (f.QOQ, subscribed in Raleigh by Risley & Co., was de clared vid and thrown out for want of evidence of the -pecuniary ability of the subscribers, and the'infomiality iu the note offered to secure the 5 per cert. Whatthe informality in the note given to secure tit 5 per cent, on Rislcy & Co's sub scription j,vas, the bulletin from which I get myj lntormatiiu does not state. It the note whs defective! it is a little singular that it should have been) received by the Commissioners who had charjjj of the subscription books at Raleigh. On turning to the charter of the Company, I find that ie commissioners for receiving sub scriptions it Raleigh are Romulus M. Saunders, G. W.Md decai, W. W. Holdeu, J. II. Bryan, Edw'd Ya borough, and W. Whitakc-r, Esqs. It would stem to me that some of those gentle men arc sijnciently learned in the law to detect any informality in the note to secure the 5 per cent. Thej-ejection of Rislcy & Co's subscrip tion on thidi ground appears the more remark able when fc is observed that there is not a legal gentleman so far as I can learn) in tlie whole Board of General Commissioners. Btt there was another ground upon which the subscription of Risley & Co. was declared void, viz: the want of evidence of their stand ing. It strikes me that if the right to reject a subscription 011 this ground is vested any where by tie charter of the Company, it must be vest ed in the commissioners who receive the sub- scrip:ions. The charter provides that when a subscription is made, and the 5 per cent paid, or secured to be paid, the commissioners shall pass a receipt to the subscriber. If this was done (whidi I presume) in the case of Risley & Co., it waild seem to me that they hold, iu that re ceipt, the written evidence of a vested right to $4(50,000 of stock in the Atlantic and X. C. Fai'road Co. AYhat force can lie in the objection that the general commissioners had no evidence that Rislev & Co. are d ? The charter does not give them the power to judge of the solvency of subscribers. In undertaking to pronounce that judgment, they, in my humble lawm. arroratn to themselves a power which rfe 10t conrerrecf by the charter under wnicn tney prfttess to act. ejr existed in I repeat, that if anv such pow- tliis case, it was vested in the commissioners at Raleigh. Thnt they were satisfied that they did not have the right, or at least that it was not their duty, to reject the subscription iu question, is evident from the fact that they did nvl reject it. I am bound, there fore, to believe that the proceedings of the Board of General Commissioners at Newbern, as disclosed to me, are void that Risley & Co. have a right to a majority of the stock of the Atlantic and N. C. Railroad. And they are not the men I take them to be if they submit to such arbitrary proceedings as those of the Gen eral Commissioners at Newbern. JUSTITIA. apokon and bis Empress. The Paris correspondent of the London Times contradicts the rumored intention of the Em peror Napoleon to obtain a divorce from the Empress. We are glad to learn that in this respect the "nephew of my uncle" is not disposed to follow the bad example of his relation: I have already contradicted, and from very food authority, the rumor which was current that the Emperor contemplated a dissolution of his marriage with the Empress. Aly allusion to the rumor was, perhaps more vague than was necessary, even with every possible consideraion for the delicacy of the subject. The rumor is still current, for there arc some members of the legitimist party who spare neither money nor pains to propagate it; and in several of the foreign journals it is alluded to as having gained much credit in Paris. I contradict again, in most peremptory manner, the rumor itself, and also the statement of its having gained considera ble credit in this capital. Nothing whatever has occurred to warrant even the supposition that there is anv ground for desirm a divorce on political grounds, and still less for supposing that if the hope ot direct issue had diminished, such a circumstance would affect the union of Undistinguished personages alluded to. I could mention twenty facts to show that if the conduct of theEmperor justified severe criticism, his social relations are such that it would be utterly im possible to fix upon him a single fact to indicate that his political ambition, great as it may be, would ever preponderate over his affections. All that is necessary now is to assert that there is not, and never has been, the slightest ground for the imputation which is cast upon him. As to the question of the probability or improbability of there being direct issue from the imperial marriage, I will only say that no communication has been made, either private or official, that the event is improbable; and that, on the con trary, there is at this moment a strong rumor in the court circles that the Empress is likely soon to gratify the hopes of the Emperor, and disappoint those of the persons who have a real or fancied interest in his leaving no direct issue. A Case of Conscience. Some time since the Collector of the Port of Georgetown, S. C, received an anonymous letter from Beaufort, enclosing a North Carolina Bank note for one hnndred dollars, stating that the person sending it justly owed it to the United States. The Collector at Georgetown wrote to the Depart ment at Washington in relation to the subject, and was instructed to send the note to the Col lector at Wilmington, who could get the specie for it and deposit it in the U. S. Depository here, which has been done. It may be some satisfaction to the sender to know that his wishes have been carried out. Wil. Journal.

Tjurm the night of May 2'Jtii the Russians made three attempts to storm, but were repulsed with fearful loss, leaving 1,500 dead beneath the ramparts The Turks also made a sortie, and effected a dreadful massacre of the Russians 4,500 being reported as the number of their wounded and slain. The head-quarters of the allied army were s.t Varna, and it was calculated that by the 7th June the Anglo-French force would be at Shumla; thence to Silistria being three days' march consequently by the 10th, or say the 15th June, they would be in tiie face of the enemy, when a battle must ensue. There had been considerable fighting else where. On the 31st May a serious a flair oc curred at Slatina, when the Turks defeated 2,000 Russians, killed 500, and captured their artillery. Other encounters, more or less san guinary, are reported. A letter from a Doctor captured in the frigate Tiger, says the Russians treat their prisoner with great kindness. Greece. A despatch from Athens of 29th May confirms a report that the insurgents had gained a victory in Thessaly. The Turks lost TOO in killed, many prisoners, and five guns. The new Greek ministry had taken the oaths, and satisfied the requirements of the Porte by issuing peaceful orders and dismissing all func tionaries implicated in the insurrection. Among those disgraced are four aids-de-camp of the King. France and England have notified the gov ernment of Morocco of their Avar with the Rus sian Empire. The Emperor replied that no Russian flag shall enter Moorish ports during theontinuance of the war. .. A meeting- between the Emperor of Austria HUtt'tilt? King sr uuoi, ..l...j.4 t. --.-. , spective ministers, was to take place on the 9th June at Teschean, on the Saxony frontier. It was suspected that the meeting would not in crease the cordiality of Austria towards the western powers, especially as it has transpired that Count Nostiz is the bearer of a letter from the Emperor of Austria to Nicholas. Sixgii.ar Affair. A Son Running away with his Father's Wife On Sunday, a man about thirty years of age, accompanied by a woman aged twenty-seven, and two children representing themselvesas man and wife made application to Mr Thompson for relief. They stated that they were jiut from Canada hav ing come over by the boat and were destitute of means; hence the appeal for aid. Mr T. kept them during the day and the succeeding night, and then told them that if they persisted in asking aid, he should be compelled to send them to the County House Upon this they left. Nothing further was heard from them till several days after, when an old man arrived from Canada in pursuit of them, stating that the .woman was his own wife, and the man his son by a former one. Whether he succeed ed iu tracing; the fugitives we have not learned, j but should lie, we should infer that the meeting ! between father and son must be rather embar rassing. lxucli ester siavcaae. Bayard Tayloi on Nutmegs. On our re turn to the ship we visited a nutmeg planta tion. The trees, which are from twenty to thir ty feet in height, are planted in rows, at inter vals of about twenty feet. The leaf is dark green and glossy, resembling that of the laurel, and the fruit, at a little distauce, might be taken for a small russet-colored apple. When ripe, the thick husk splits in the centre, show ing a scarlet net-work of mace, enveloping an inner nut, black as ebony, the kernel of which is the nutmeg of commerce. The clove tree, not now in its bearing season, has some resem blance to the nut, but the leaf is smaller and the foliage more loose and spreading. As we drove through the orchard the warm air of noon was heavy with spice. The rich odors ex haled from the trees penetrated the frame with a sensation of languid and voluptuous repose. Perfume became an appetite, and the senses were drugged with an overpowering feeling of luxury. Had I continued to indulge in it, I should ere long-have realized the Sybarite's complaint of his crumpled roseleaf. . Turned the Joke ox Him. An amusing scene took place recently on the steamer Eureka, just as she was leaving for Cleveland. A rough looking genius came aboard with a powerful bull-dog at his heels. Walking directly into the office, the individual said to the clerk: 'Stranger, I want to leave my dog in this 'ere ofnee till the lioat starts. I'm afraid that some body will steal him.' You can't do it," said the clerk. 'Take him out.' 'Well stranger, that's cruel: but you're both dispositioned alike aud he is kinder company for you.' 'Take him out roared the clerk. Well, stranger, I don't think you're honest, and you want watching: here, Bull, set down here and watch that fellow sharp;' and the individual turned on his heel saying, 'put him out; stranger, if he's trouble some.' The dog lay there when the boat start ed, watching the clerk, who gave him the bet ter half of the officb. On Sunday afternoon, the Custom House was stricken by lightning, an individual being on the roof at the time. No damage was done. -Wilmirgtdn Jleraid. - lntiMM4lM. Coontrj-.

One can hnrdlv travel an hour in any direction without crossing many streams of pure water. The mouths of these streams, during a great part of the year, arc blockaded by mounds of sand, which ore the haunts of crocodiles and hippopotami. None of these rivers are capable of inland navigation, being so filled with rocks that it would be dan gerous for the smallest vessel to enter. Much of the soil of Natal is in a ruined and impoverished condition, as the natives who formerly owned the region never a 1 tempted to manure it. However, in the eastern part of the country, two or three crops of Indian corn are raised annually by the settlers. Oranges, lemons and limes flourish near the coast, and further inward, apples and peaches are raised. The climate is very equable, the thermometer generally ranging between 50 and 80 degrees. Terrific thunder storms are very frequent there. The geological features of the country are inter esting. Most of the rocks are -of a primary character. Red sandstone abounds on the table-lands, yet granite is invariably found be neath. The soil is strongly impregnated with iron, and loadstone is found in various districts. Coal, copper and lead have been discovered, and geological appearances seems to justify the belief that gold exists there. It is an interest ing country for conchologists. Out of 150 speci mens sent from thence to Eugland, upwards of 89 were found to be of an unkuown species. Marine shell have been found inland at a height of 5000 feet above the sea, thus showing that at some past day the country has been submer ged by water. Natal was manv years since inhabited entire 1 by negroes, who were tributary to the chief of Zulu, a warlike prince who governed a nation to the northward. The Chief of Zulu could mus ter a hundred thousand fighting men, and with them he conquered all the provinces. After he died, Natal fell into the hands of the Ei glish, by whom it is now possessed. McCormick's Reaper. We had an opport unity, this week, of witness ing the operation of this celebrated machine. It is certainly worthy its American and Eu ropean reputation. It cuts a swath six feet wide, as fast as two horses can walk, and cuts cleaner than any scythe and cradle can possibly do. Scarcely a single head of grain, which reaches up to the knife, is left. All the waste that is done, is in the operation of binding. Two hands are required to attend the Reaper a driver, and a raker, both of whom ride upon the machine. With a little skill ami practice, the raker will deposit from the ma chine the proper quantity for a hcaf with every pull of his rake. The machine is compelled lo "shun stumps," and of course does much better in ground clear of stumps and otherwise f-niooth. It was re marked by a gentleman present, that if its in troduction into general use should do no other good, it would induce the farmers to rid their land of these obstacles to pleasant cultivation and to put in their small grain crops with greater accuracy and care. ( Irrcnsborongh Patriot. Thk Olives of (j KTnsr.M.vxn. At the foot of the Mount of Olives we find what is consid ered the Garden of Gethsamane, memorable as the resort of our I. old, and as the scene of the agony which he was betrayed. There is little doubt that this is the real dace of this solemn transaction. It seems to have been an olive plantation iu the time of Christ, as the name Gethsemajie signifies oil press. It is about 50 paces square, and is enclosed by a wall of no great height, formed of rough loose stones. Eight very ancient olive trees now occupy tho enclosure, some of which arc very large, and all exhibit . symptoms of deca 3, clearly denoting their great age. As a fresh olive tree springs from the stump of an old one, there is reason to conclude that even if the old trees existing in the time of our Lord have been destroyed, those which now stand sprang from tlifil' tfttt: i'ffc it is not incredible that they should be the same trees. 1 hey are at least of the time of the Eastern Empire, as is proved by the following' circumstance: In Turkey ever- olive tree which was found standing by the Moslems when they conquered Asia pa s a tax of one medina to tho treasurj-, while each of those planted since the conquest pays its produce: now the olive trees of Gethsemaue pay only eight mtdinas. Dr. Wild describes the largest as at t wen ty-fo in fect iu girth above the root, though its topmost branch is not above thirty feet from the ground. M. Bove, who traveled as a naturalist, asserts that the largest are at least six yards in circum ference, and nine or ten yards highso la rge, indee d, that he calculates their age at 2,000 years.
