which the present Congress displays wire pol

The Pacific Railroad, as I predicted to you,
as introduced, has utterly failed, to the great
dissatisfaction of Senator Gwinn and others.
The bill that was finally passed was emasculated
of every portion that its friends desired. It is
now, as passed by the Senate, reduced to a very
simple proposition, to wit the advertisement,
through two newspapers in each State, of pro
posals for the building of a railroad across to
the Pacific ocean from the Mississippi valley,
along a Northern route, a central route and a
Southern route bids for each and all of these
several routes to be submitted to the next Con
gress. Mr. Senator Gwin, of California, upon the
spur of the moment, was prompted to denounce
this elementary shaping of the 1 1 1 1 as the con
summation of " the greatest farce ever accom
plished by any legislative body but the next
morning lie apologized f'r the offensive obser
vation ; and very properly, too, we think, con
sidering the bill as we do, one of the most sen
sible decisions of the Senate upon any public
measure for many years. The enterprise in
view clearly calls for this preliminary proceed
ing, and it ought to be passed by the House as
the best possible device for ascertaining the
approximate cost of the road by the several
routes indicated. The proposals thus invited
will thrw a flood of light over the whole sub
ject, and give to Congress that practical infor
mation concerning the probable cost of a North
ern, a Central, and -t Southern road, which only
the test ot business proposals can brnisr out.
I he report of Mr. .branch of your State, on
Cuba, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
lias been printed, and has created a stronger
sensation in Congress than any State paper of
the session. I forwarded you a copy, and I have
no doubt that you conceded to its singular abil
ity and research. The question is daily gaining
strength in both Houses, and gives assurances
to Spain, and " the rest of mankind," tbat we
are in earnest in our desire to acquire the "gem
of the Antilles."
The Diplomatic and Consular Bill, about

Bill was twice lost, and finally passed by two

ting not exceeding seventy-five thousand dollars
to enable the President to carry out the provi
sions of the Act of 1 S 1 0 , with regard to the
captured Africans of the TCho. The President
made a contract with the Colonization Society
to carry them to Africa, clothe, maintain and
educate theas there to tiie arts of civilized life
for the space of a twelve month. On the con
trary it was said that there was no constitu
tional power in the Government to educate Af
ricans, &c. It was replied that the question
was not ns to the policy of the Act of 1819 ;
it was as to the d ity of the Government in re
gard to i he captives whom it repelled from the
shores of the United States, and conveyed back
to their own inhospitable shores. Were they
not to be fed ? Were they not tu be clothed ?
Were they to be thrown naked, hungry and

The !
President hail no authority to support them a
day longer than the necessity existed, and the
necessity alone created the obligation, ind the
one ceased only with the other. A twelve
month seemed not unreasonable, and it was
hoped that in that spnee t-f time they might be
taught so much of civilix' d life, as at le:ist might
put their future measurably in their own hands.
Humanity would forbid any other construction
of the Act of 1810. I believe there was a gen
eral acquiescence in the bill, ami though twice
rejected, really no one desired its defeat.

The following, on Governor Foote, is too
good to be lost ; and, as we are assured by a
party present, that it is literally true, you may
lay it before your readers. In fact, the per
son who gave us the information is a gentleman
of integrity and honor, in whom we have im
plicit confidence. Here it is :
A few days ago a company of gentlemen
were travelling up the Mississippi river, between
Yicksburg and Memphis, on the steamer Ante
lope, lu the crowd was a politician of great
notoriety, particularly in the State of Missis
sippi, who was eloquent and incessant in his
advocacy of Judge Douglas for the Presidency.
" Every position of Douglas was Democratic,
every element of his nature constitutional and
conservative ; all the leading statesman of the
South and West his ardent admirers, &c, fcc."
During an animated panegyric upon the per
fections of the " Little Giant," all the guests
of the cabin had congregated around the " inter
minable talker," some asking one question and
some aaother, all of which were answered by
the statement of facts all within the "certain
personal" knowledge" of the speaker, when one
gent asked " How is Kentucky on the Douglas
question ?" The speaker turned to him with
an air of great dignity and a peculiar expres
sion of countenance as much as to say : "There
I am at home," and replied, "Kentucky, sir, is
right ; and, to my certain knowledge, every
prominent politician in the State is in favor of
Douglas. 1 have very lately been in Kentucky
ami conversed with every member of Congress,
and every one (and particularly Dr. Peyton,
the most prominent of them all,) is iu favor of
Douglas."
A very fine looking, quiet stranger, " who
had been listening without saying anything,"
appeared struck with the last remark, and asked
the speaker if he understood him to say that
Dr. Peyton was a Douglas man ? " O, yes,"
he replied, " I know him intimately ; and with
in the last four weeks he has assured me of the
fact."
The stranger rose up and spoke substantially as
follows : j
" Sir, I am Dr. Peyton, the member of Con
gress referred to, and though I have heard
much of you, I have never "had the honor of
your acquaintance, or of speaking to you, until
now, and so far from being a Douglas man I
am against him, sir, all the way from h-U to
Halifax. Nor is there a prominent man iu
Kentucky for him, except Mr. Dixon, who 13
ia favor of a new party." The effect of this
reply can be better imagined than described.
The shout that went up from that crowd made
the Antelope tremble. lhe Douglas orator,
instead of melting down into his boots, turned
towards Dr. Peyton and remarked : "Are you
Dr. Peyton, sir ? Most happy to see you, sir
- delighted to make your acquaintance, sir
think I once saw you, sir, when I was in the
Senate, hem !" S. called hands to take a drink,
and amidst the most terrific guffaws, they all
drank " health to Dr. Peyton, aud confusion
to Douglas and his schemes for the Presidency.
Forthcoming brilliant hymentals in the fash

Hilliard, a native of North Carolina, orphan
cousin of Mr. Senator Clay, of Alabama, and
the groom, Mr. Hamilton Glentworth, of New
York city. Before 12 o'clock a numerous com
pany assembled in Trinity church, guests who
were evidently selected by a hand accustomed
to the task of culling friends at its own good
pleasure among the elite of society. Tnere
were ladies of the Cabinet and of our most
eminent Senators to impart dignity to the
scene, and brilliant belles from " West end,"
and showy exotics from the corps diplomatique,
and within the altar the venerable bishop Do
ane, of New Jersey, in satin surplice and bands,
who. with the attendant clergyman, (Dr. But
ler,) awaited the arrival of the bridal cortege.
As we sat absorbed in admiration of the curiously-grained
roof and richly stained windows,
there was suddenly a flutter of excitement and
stir near the door of the edifice. AH leaned
forward to' catch a glance.
First came the attendants one in white, with
delicate coral trimmings, anil ruffles beautifully
fluted ; th second a sister of the bride in a
r:chlv embroidered lace dress, which fell in
fleecy richness over a white satin. 'Following
these came the bride, a beantiful girl dimly per
ceptible through lace and orange blossoms, like
a star through a summer loud, leaning on the
arm of the groom, a youthful and very gentle-"
manly-looking person. Then came Senator
Clay and lady, the face of the latter wearing
a look of deep sadness. Impossible to see a
lovelier creature than the bride ; her face and
form entirely enshrouded in the soft folds of the
bridal veil, while her snowy draper', ample,
yet exquisitely arranged, her hair parted in
plain bands, and surmounted only with a wreath
of orange blossoms. The graceful majesty of
her walk, the perfect placidity of her whole ap
pearance struck every one as she passed in.
As they fell into their places around the altar,
the scene was most imposing and picturesque.
The large humid eyes of the bride were hid
from the spectators, but the clear and exqui
sitely pure complexion, the regularity of the
features, the softly-rounded cheek, the slight,
girlish form irresistibly attracted attention.
As the solemn voice of the bishop arose in
clear and distinct tones, she bent her head ; and
as the murmured words 11 1 will" thrilled through
the crowded building, a blu.di diffused itself over
her features, resembling the rich bloom of that
flower which is thought to portray the lint of
modesty in our sex.
" Tho Lord keep thee and Hess thee.''' As this
concluding blessing fell upon her ear, she turn-
ed from the altar to be pressed to the hearts of
her relatives with a fervor aud devotion which
rarely falls to an orphan's lot. Miss H. had
resided with Mr. C. and lady since the death
of her parents, and the deep feelings of attach-
meat manifested by them were evident to all.
There was little to separate this marriage scene
from a thousand others in the world ; aud yet
it was a picture such as an imaginative artist
might have portrayed as the ideal of a bridal !
scene.

Montgomery Mail, that the Governor of Alabama
has appointed Judge Yelverton of that State a Com
missioner to negotiatcwilh the authorities of the
Stato of Florida relative to the cession to Alabama

Scotch Words. The Scotch language is per
haps destined to perih. There are many Scotch
words and Scotch expressions which ought
to be saved from the wreck. By their adoption
the English language would be immensely en
riched. The Scotch language has no Roman
majesty, but it lends itself most opulently to
pathos and humor. It has been kept free from
those pedantic Johnsonianisms which have been
so fatal to the English language. In its home
liness there is a power after which the English
language often strives in vain. What in effect
is houieliess, but that which, coming from the
home, goes back thither with natural impulse
and irresistible force? A language loses its
moral empire when it deserts entirely, as the
English language has deserted, the common
speech of the people. And that moral empire
gone, what avail a learned air aud rhetorical
embellishments ? Critic.
LEGISLAT1 V fcl
IVom our Correspondent.
Raleich, Feb. 3, 1859.
Messrs Editors :
The past week has been an important one in tbe Leg
islative history of our good old State. Tbe great and
important questions engaging the attention of both
branches of the General Assembly, are of vital inter
est to every section from Currituck to Cherokee First
in importance not only to your community but to
the whole State is the Fayetteville Coalfield Road.
Yon have already heard of the triumphant passage of
that measure through the House of Commons, without
amendment, without defeat or reconsideration, bat just
as it came from the Senate. Tbe friends of that meas
ure have spared no pains or labor in its behalf ; the
names of some of them yea, of all. should be remem
bered as long as the good old town of Fayetteville has
an existence. They stood firm in tbe sixth trouble, and
did not forsake it in the seventh, but battled manfully
against every difficulty until success has crowned their
etlbrts. The other schemes throughout tbe State bad
an advantage, from the fact that the State had already
invested largely in all of them, and "they mmst be
eompleted," while tbis. the greatest of them all, bad
been left to individual enterprise to work its way. It
would have been the grossest act of injustice if the
Legislature had refused the aid they asked. Tbe Wil
mington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad passed its
second reading in the House last night by a very
large majority, and will likely pass its third reading
to-day. It has undergone several amendments to tbe
bill as it passed the Senate. It provides tbat the State
shall borrow for the Company 8000 per mile, instead
of endorsing the bonds of the Company for that
amount.
The Western Extension will come up to-day in the
House. The bill for that road provides, that when
individual have secured $50,000, the State shall sub
scribe $100,000, and so on till the four millions already
subscribed shall be secured, instead of compelling the
Company to complete the road to Morgan ton before
they could receive the State's subscription. - ;
The Cape Fear and Deep River Bill, as amended,
was again defeated in the Senate yesterday ; tbat
bill provided for additional aid to that work, to the
amount of Four Hundred Thousand dollars.
The Revenue -15i 1 passed its 3rd reading in the
Commons, on Tuesday, by a vote of 43 to 58. It is to
be regretted that so many felt compelled to vote a
gainst a bill of that character, it being objectionable
in several of its provisions ; but it looks bad to see
those w ho are asking tbe State to appropriate money
out of the Treasury to aid them, refuse to vote for a
bill to sustain that same Treasury. The Bill will
probably be amended in several particulars in the
Seuate, and if the House should not concur very i
promptly, the session will centinue for several days
yet.
A bill to amend the charter of the Western North
Carolina Rail Road from Salisbury west, was defeated
in the Commons to-day. It provides for no addition
al appropriation, but instead of requiring the stock
holders to buil-.l an entire section, provided that when
ever Fifty Thousand Dollars was subscribed by indi
viduals, then the State would subscribe One Hundred
Thousand Dollars, and so on iu proportion to the a
mount subscribed by individuals, until the amount al
ready appropriated by the State is exhausted. It
will be reconsidered to-morrow. A an act of justice
to the West, this bill should pass. The members from
that section havefulways voted for every work in the
State, and it is but right that they should be allowed
to build this central roud as they maybe able o raise
their part of the money.
The Senate have been in committee of tbe whole on
the Deep River Improvement. What will be done is
uncertain ; it is most generally thought that they
will direct the work to be sold, as there seems to be a
determination to appropriate no more money for it
fro in the State.
A bill io charter the Bank of North Carolina has
again been defeated in the Senate. It is impossible
to say what will be done on the Bank question. There
are too many financiers in this Legislature to agree
ujion a plan of a Bank that can sustain itself and be
of any service to the community. In all probability
the charter of the present Bank of the State will be
extended for six or eight years, and in that time it is
hoped ihere w ill be a sounder or more practical know
ledge prevailing iu reference to the Ranking interest
of the State.
The House disposed of a large number os Bills to
day of a private and local character.
The bill changing the time of holding Harnett Sn
porior Court passed its last reading iu the Commons.
The great Bill in reference to the location of the
County site of that County has not yet passed the
Senate. It has been amvndedin tbat House, restrict
ing the location to within three miles of the centre.
Taere will be some objection to the bill in the Senate.
