A. 1 " ' 3s-.- 4 ;Tts THE NORTH CABOL F A YE TTEVILLE, N. C. WESTERN KADJtOA "We publish below an extract from the report of Mr McRae, late President of the Western Railroad, to the stockholders at their ;annual meeting in March last. - The report after giving a full account of the action of the directory .during the year the amount of work done on the road a statement of the financial affairs, &c proceeds to say: "Having thus given you a statement of the work done, and the condition of your financial affairs, the question is now with yon, and with you alone, whether the work already done, the money already expended, shall be entirely lost, and the road abandoned, or whether by united action (without which no community can hope to prosper) it shall be prosecuted to a soccess ful comuletion. The action of the last Legislature, while it has heaped benefits upon other sections of the State, has left us to onr own resource of this we may in reason complain, but onr complaining will be worse than idle, if the sense of the wrong done U3. does not stimulate ns to renewed en ergies. No maxim can be more true than that which tells communities as well as individuals, that they alone are worthy of aid from others who first show a disposition to aid themselves If then (as it must be apparent to alft this enterprize be of importance to us if it can in a great measure counteract the effects xf other .schemes which must prove detrimental to our interest if it can prevent the diversion of our trade increase the Value of onr real estate, laad nut na in conumtinicatiow with the trade o the west. ( without' which the town of Favette- ville most of necessity langnTsh) then it behooves us to act promptly and with energy, to place its successfnl completion beyond a donbt. Bat the people of FayetteVille would not rest satisfied with only the construction of this route to the Coal Fields their interest demands its extension to Salisbury, there to make connec tion with the great Western Extension to the Tennessee Hue, and, if they will unite their en ergies, and complete the first link to Deep River, it will not be long before onr western and eastern friends will find it to their interest also, to aid in securing the other link to Salisbury. A survey has already been made from a point on Deep River, immediately above the Coal Fields, to the Yadkin River for a 'Tort age Railroad " a practicable line found, and the distance not materially greater than a more direct route, &c. &c. It is known to you that the North Carolina Railroad has made its connection with the Wilmington & Weldon Road at Goldsboro and is now being rapidly finished, through the coun ties of Orange, Guilford, Davidson and Rowan to Salisbury, where it will connect with that part already finished to Charlotte; and at Salisbury it will also be in connection with the western extension. Thus stretching itself through nearly all the grain groieins counties of the State, it must of necessity monopolize all their carrying trade, while on the other side of us, we hear notes of preparation to organize the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Road, to pass through the comities of Bladen, Robeson, Richmoud and Anson to Charlotte, which, when finished, will make ether towns formidable rivals with us for the trade of the cotton region a lare portion of which we have heretofore en joyed, because of the demand of our factories, and the fair competition among our merchants for that staple. In conclusion, the President and Directors most earnestly desire, that in the wisdom of the titocktaoUVer, eoiu flo.u may ' le deTtsed by which present difficulties may be overcome, and our people united as o-ue man in carrying on this vitally important work to completion. Our difficulties have been a want of union and con fidence in each other. Let ns banish these dis cordant elements which have made us laggards in every project, and resolve to be united and determined in our efforts, and very soon we will see evidence of its inspiring influence, and like the fabled bird of old, we shall rise with fresh and renewed strength to the accomplish ment, not only of this, bnt other schemes for onr prosperity."

Last account of the shooting Wytheville, Ta., by a man The following is an acconnt capture, from the Wytheville of Graham's Telegraph : Late on luesday night a man came to town with the intelligence that Graham had gone on Sunday evening to the house of a Mr Warden, in the Uove, about 11 miles from town, to get something to eat, and it was supposed that he was then in the mountain or near the place. A party of 2o or 30 immediately repaired to the spot, and stretched themselves about a hundred yards apart, commenced the search. IJefore proceeding far Graham was seen aud hailed by Mr Ganaway and Mr Ruford. He turned upon them and cocked and presented his pistol. They levelled their guns and asked him if he wonld surrender or be shot down; he replied that if they would treat him well, protect him from violence and give him something to eat. he would surrender; that he had eaten nothing biit a piece of raw meat since he fled, and that he was nearly frozen and starved. He then threw down his pistol ftnd surrendered." The excitement in town when it was ascertained that he had been captured, was beyond a uvthiusr we have ever seen. The citizens all congregat ed at Boyd's Hotel to wiUmaa. -Jug-arrival, and j the crowd was constantly augmented by arrivals from the country. As the time for the arrival of the guard with their prisoner approached, the excitement grew more intense, and threats of Lyuch-law began to be heard. Just at this time the Court House bell was rung, and it was announced that a meeting was to be held to take into consideration the propiety of enforcing Lynch Law upon the culprit.- Before organiz ing, however, it was concluded to let the law have its course. The guard soon after arrived, and took their prisouer immediately to the jail, and the crowd dispersed. Graham was after wards regularly committed and will be examin ed, before a called court on Monday next. AVe understand that he offers no excuse for his crime, but says he intended to have killed no one but Mr Spiller; that lie thought Mr Cox was auother man trying to prcveut him from getting out of the bar-room, - and he shot him to get rid of him. High trice of Flock ix New York Flour has risen to thirteen dollars a barrel for choice brands, and twelve to twelve and a half for good ordinary flour such as bakers use. This is higher than flour has rated in New York for many years. In 1837, when the flour ware house of Eli Hart & Co, was broken open by a mob, it sold at from II 85 to $12 a barrel. One of our Western villages passed an ordin ance forbidding taverns to sell liquors on the Sabbath to any person except travelers. The next Sunday, every man in town was walking around with a valise in one hand and two saddle bags iu the other. rctary. After the object of the meeting was stated. the Chairman appointed Durham Lewis, James W. Lesesne and Daniel Willis to prepare resolu tions expressing the same, who reported that The Democracy of Bladen Comity, desirous of co-operating with their brethren in the Counties composing this Congressional district and preserving in its integrity their party organization, do - Kesolve, That we concnr in the propiety of holding a Convention for the purpose of select ing a candidate to represent this Congressional district as proposed, to be held at Cliuton, in May ensuing.

McLeod, Sec'y. for the Carolinian. The Teeth. This part of the physical organization is much abused by a great majority of persons; the young make them store-houses for sweet meats and candies, or apply them to the very delicate purpose of cracking nuts; the lady uses them as a substitute for scissors in cutting thread, &c; men make them serve as a mill for grinding the nauseous weed tobacco, or convert them into the wall of a smoke-house. Nearly all are chargeable in some way with nnpnTdomiMe' strriae OT ' the teem ; tHrrf yrens thcin as if they were of no great value, or at least of very little consequence, and as if the sooner they were removed out of the way the better. The ignorance manifested in regard to the teeth, and the important relation which they hold to the system, is astonishing. How often expressions similar to the follow- ing are used: 1 tlo not eare h my teem are decayed, if they don't ache;" "I wish I had no teeth, they are so much trouble;" 1 do not see what they were made for, they are only an aunoyance. It is not the teeth that are m tauit, unt tne ncslect and abnse of them by those who thus complain.

The First As sistant Postmaster General has issued the fol lowing directions to postmasters: " Books not weighing over four ponnds may be sent in the mail, prepaid, at one cent an ounce any distance in the United States under three thousand miles, and at two cents an ounce over three thousand miles, provided they are put np without a cover or wrapper, or iu a cover or wrapper open at the ends or sides, so that their character may be determined without removing the wrapper. If -not prepah, the postage nnder three thousand miles is oncent and a half, and over three thousand mles in the United States three cents an ounce It is a violation of law to enclose or cttusal a letter or other thing, (except bills andre ceipts for subscription,) or to make any uvrao- randnra in writing, or to print any word of communication after its publication upon any newspaper, pamphlet, magazine, or otherqrint ed matter.

We learnef in Monroe, a few days ago, that a mail cajtier between that place and adesboro', had teen detected in robbing the mail, and arrested.'- It appears from the circumstances, thaahe has been driving quite a thrivinjr busine in this line lately, having lightened LTncle Sin's mail bag of several letters containing siViIl amounts. The way he opened and closed fthe bag again shows an ingenuity worthy of a better cause. We learn that the bag was patched, and he would rip off the patch, overhaul the letters, secure the fat ones and then scathe patch on again. But one fat letter prefved fatal to him a decoy letter was placed in the mail containing marked bil!s; he grabbed it, and the officer grabbed him, and lodged liim iu Wadtsboro' jail to await his trial.

The following is one of the most horrible affairs that we have ever read. We copy from the Dayton (Ohio) Ga zette of the 2Tth ult: This wretched man, who, ns onr readers will remember, was convicted in the Court of Com mon Pleas, of Shelby county, a few mouths ago, of an atrocious murder committed on the person of his own daughter, was hung yesterday. From private source we learn that the execu tion exhibited a scene of horror, to which it would be difficult to furnish a parallel. The trial, the prison, aud the near approach of death had failed to subdue the spirits of the guilty man, or reduce him to a submissive frame of mind. Since his conviction, his con versation has consisted principally of expres sions of defiance to the officers of the law, varied with the most horrid blasphemies and obscenities. As he was a very muscular man, and had repeatedly asserted that he would not be hung, the Sheriff, as a matter of precaution, had called the outsiders, to the number of twenty five or thirty, to assist in the execution of the sentence; but such desperate resistance did the negro make, that even this force was hardly ecpial to the terrible task that devolved upon them. As the condemned man was taken out of his cell iu spite of the heavy irons to his legs, he burst away from those in -charge of him, and for some time kept every one at bay by striking in all directions with his shackled hands.

Murderous Assault upon Germans at Cincinnati. A large party of rowdies, armed with clubs, guns and pistols, went to the Lafayette House, comer of Mill and Front streets, last Thursday night, kept by a German, named Jacob Knight, and demanded liquor. After being furnished with beer they com menced breaking the glasses, knocked the pro prietor senseless, insulted his wife, assaulted his children, aud then left the premises. On the sidewalk the gang knocked down three Ger mans and stabbed another, who is not expected to recover. Finally they drove the family of Knights from the house. Five arrests were made, being the first made by the authorities during these disgraceful proceedings. After this assault upon the pre mises of Knight, the Germans living iu that section of the city armed themselves and guar ded the streets across the Canal the whole night, permitting no one to pass. The police and mayor have almost done nothing iu the matter of preserving the peace. The city clerk has refused to grant a certifi cate of election to the candidates of either party in the recent election.
