W e need not si-ak to the public of its Tirtnes. Tlireutcliout
every town, and almost every hamlet of the American States,
ils wonderful cures of pulmonary complaints have made it al
ready know n. Ky. few are the families in any civilized coun
try on this continent without some personal experience of its
effects; and fewer yet the communities any where which have
not among them some living trophy of its victory over the sub
tle and dangerous diseases of the throat and lunge. While it is
the most powerful antidote yet known to man for the formida
ble and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary organs, it is also
the pleasantest and safest remedy that can be employed for in
fants and young persons. Parents should have it in store
against the insidious enemy that steals npon them unprepared.
We have abundant grounds to believe the CaEERr Pectoral
saves more lives by the consumptions it prevents than those it
cures. Keep it by you, and cure your colds while they are cura
ole nor neglect them until no human skill can master the in
exorable canker that, fastened on the vitals, eats your life away.
All know the dreadful fatality of lung disorders, and as they
know too the virtues of this remedy, we need not de more than
aiire them it is still made the best it tan be. V. spare no
cost, no care, no toil to produce it the most perfect possible, and
thus afford those who rely on it the best agent which cur skill
run furnish fbi- their cure.

on Friday afternoon the following business was
transacted :
Resolutions authorizing a subscription of $15,000
to the New York 6c Wilmington Steam line, pro
vided the Wilmington & Weldon K. It. Co., sub
scribed $30,000. This has already been done, and
we may confidently expect the completion of this
line. Secondly, that application be made to the

passage of a law exempting the employees of the
Koad, from all Jury and public duties, and the ne
groes hired by said Co., from working on the public
roads,"
" The President's salary was raised from $2,000
to $3,000 per annum, from and after this date."
Thos. D. Walker, was unanimously re-elected
President, as was also the old Board of Directors.
The thanks of the meeting were tendered to
His Excellency, Gov. Ellis, for his personal attend
ance on the occasion.
Thanks were tendered to he Charman and Secre
taries, for the faithful discharge of their duties, and
the meeting adjourned, to meet in that town on
Wednesday, after the 3d Monday in Nov. 18G0."
We learn from tlie Journal that the road is in a
prosperous condition. We clip from that paper the
following extracts from the report of the superin
tendent. The net revenue of the road for the year 1859 is,
8209,793 07. That of '58 beinar 150,121 25, a
gain of $50,068 82. The total increase of gross re
ceipts of this year over last is, $44,851 84.
The total receipts for the jear has been $490,
403 59. Disbursements, $402,400 58. Balance on
hand, $87,'J03 01.
Tiie debt of the Co., has been reduced $02,530 18.

State has passed a bill, which provides that the
election of United States Senators shall take place,
at the session of the Legislature immediately prece
ding the expiration of the term for which an elec
tion is to be made.
The clerks and book-keepers of Xo.'fblk, Virginia,
are making desperate efforts to procure a repeal o
the act of Assembly, which imposes a heavy tax
upon their salaries, in many instances mere pit
tances. They have held a public meeting, passed
resolutions and drawn up a memorial to be prcsent-
ed to the next Legislature asking a repeal of the
obnoxious law.
We think there is a just cause of complaint in
tli is State upon the question of income tax. Our
clerks, laborers, and every one of that class are tax
ed higher th in it is possible for them to bear with -out
a murmur.

EUROPE.
To the calm beholder, acquainted with the affairs
. of Europe, it is a matter of absorbing interest to con-
template the mysterious progression of the snarle in
l" " aiKiican ana nis nines in inciate war nave
twiu uw wuna nas over wit-
, ; .s,.t -vusina, because ot
injured race and now that his aim has been actum
plished, i. e. his legitimate design, the agrandi,e
ment of self, the wiping out" of Austrian pari, in Wa
terloo and the creation of a subdued enemy into a-
friend, he turns about," and with his foot upon the
dearest liberties of the Italians, he scourges them
into submission to tjTants, whoso Utile ji "jure is
weightier in their humiliation, than was the lody
Francis Joseph. The eye of Napolean is large but its
sight is blinded by solf ;( the governing passion
of his family.
What has he done in the amelioration of the con
dition of the Italians ? Did he not go in as a liber
ator a deliverer, and does he not came cut a con
queror in the battles ? Most certainly he has, but
his object was a victory in arms not a victory of
principle. Where now is Italian liberty ? let us en
quire : Austria at the beginning of the campaign
was not a greater tyrant than she now is, nor had
she less opportunities of exercising it if we ex
cept Lombardy, which is now under a more liberal
government, having been transferal to Sardinia.
lut where is Garibaldi who was induced to enter
the field to battle for the liberty and independence
of his native land ? Where are the promises made
to him of Italian independence ? Napoleon has ac
complished his designs and Garibaldi must sheath
his sword, whilst his people are trampled by the
Emperors of Austria and the French. Doubt
less, he will now be compelled to fly for iiis life, and
take reffuge on our own continent.
If there was a necessity so urgent as that claimed
by Napolean, to relieve the Lombardians from the
Austrian yoke theie is certainly as great a neces
sity to relieve the people of Tuscany and Modena,
from the more oppressive rule of their masters the
Dukes.
Where can he assign a reason for his conduct.
In the first instance, no open appeal, or demand,
or prayer, was made by Lombardy, to be free of
Austrian rule; but the people of Tuscany and .Mo
dena have openly appealed to France and Sardinia
and they have already banished their oppressors.
To show the base selfishness of Louis, it is nec.
essary to look into the character of these Dukes and
ascertain their family.
Tliei'c aro tlnce Uuolitcr, in central lt;vly 'Vvicre-
ny rule by Ferdinand I V now 24 years of age, the
son of Leopold lid, who is a descendant of the Aus
trian Ilapsburgs, and id still alive, having abdicted
in favor of his son. Also Modinia, governed by
Francis V., now some forty years old, who is the
servile tool of the Emperor of Austria and the l'ope.
The third is the Duchies of Pai in , governed b
Louise as regent during the minority of her smi It .
bert who attained his full age in July last.
The subject of these various Duchies have de
clared their dynasties disinherited, and have deter
mined never again to receive them as their rules
and have also declared Victor Emanuel, of Sardinia
their king.
Napolean, having whiped Austria severely is now
endeavoring to heal the wound by crushing the
hopes of this people, and restoring the relatives o
Francis Joseph, to their unwilling subjects, by force
if necessary, therefore, he has compelled poor Yictoi
Emanuel, through fear to enlist in the restoration ol
the Dukes of MjLmvi an 1 Tuscany. iut pooi
Loui.- e, she has no friend she is a Spaniard,
therefore, she must not be restored to her Duchk
Sardinia may have Parma, because Louise is a ircium
and has not such a powerful family as the otheas.
T is is blowing hot and cold at one time.
Does Napoleon remember that an unwilling peo
ple had before, to banish an oppressive king, and
that that banishment made him emperor of t!u
French. Let him be careful that another uprising
of an injured people may not place him in the p si
ton which he ought to occupy.
Whatever the Peace Congress may effjet, it i.
certain that Great Ih-itain will not be a party to a
manoeuvre whereby the Italians will be compelled
by force to re-enslave : themselves by taking back
their master.
Northern Book Pedlars.
This class of men ought to be closely watched; we
have never had such a swarm of them in the South
ern country as at present, and we presume no more
dangerous or unsafe customers could come amongst
us. We M ere informed that o.ie of that class has
lately been in Davidson county, where he employed
his time among the slaves upon the p. nutations,
seldom going to the houses of their masters. A man
who does this can have no good nurposo iu View.
The two young fellows imprisoned i;i Salisbury on
last week are named, respecti vely, Emmons G. (Joe,
of Hartford, Ct., and Jas. J. Miller, of MidJletown,
Ct. AVe do not believe that they are knowingly
the'tooLs of the abolitionists but there can be no
doubt of the plans of their employers.
They are the agents of a Northern man named J.
E. Perkins, whose abode is now at Weldon, N. C,
he being the agent of throe different houses, one in
Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. Let the Wel
don folks keep their eyes upon him, or he mav- sur
prise them some day.

We
were unfortunately debarred of
Ul0 pjivile-e of cnioviuu; the company
of Mr. IJrit-
ton to Salisbury being " too late" for the cars.
We visited the Military Institute, whilst the stu
dents were undergoing a dress jarade, but regretted
i that we were too lute to sea the whole. Lieut. Lee
and Ma. Hill both informed us that the ?!":.. itutiou
was flourishing, and that it would prove a complete
success. There is one point in regard to its manage
ment worthy of remark. Parents need not fear to
send their children there, for unlike most of the in
stitutions of this nature, its faculty comprise men
of the most sterling integrity, and they are also
prominent Christians in the community where they
live.
As we have already written -from Salisbury to our
paper, giving 'the most of the news, we mu.-t only
touch upon one or two items.
We were present during the session of Court, and
heard some of the ablest speeches it has been our
privilege to listen to for years. Mr Osborne ia the
case of Oscar, the slave, already reported, delivered
one of the most able and impressive speeches we
have ever listened to; his powers of oratory con not he
excelled by anyone in the State, while his logical tea
soiling and imnressive manner entiih-s him to the
first place amongst the members of the bar iu the
State. Wo would be derelict in our duty did we
not here mention the short opi ning speech of Mr
Lander, the Solicitor. Mr L. is a young man, com
paratively speaking, but his superior powers would
induce the belief that lie was a veteran at the bar
clear, earnest and eminently logh-al without that
stiffness peculiar to the cl .ss of men who may be
styied pr( found reasoners. lie has the peculiar tone
of voice calculated to please and convince the listener
We regret that we were not permitted the pleas
ure of hearing any of the Salisbury lawyers, as the
case tried whilst we were there, took up nearly ;
of the time.
We visited the sivtum of Dro. Spellman, where
we found him busily engaged in his laborious call
ing. The pe iple of Salisbury, as well as the De
mocracy of Itowan and the other counties adjacent,
have in him a worthy and reliable citizen and an
able democrat.
On Thursday evening, we were invited to a sup
per given to the members of the bar by two young
gcv.tteinvT., Mv lIKcily and II. 11. Moore, lOsi)!.-'.,
when all present did ample justice lo the deii. ions
