For the Patriot and Flag. A JAUNT ON THE N. C. RAIL ROAD. Messrs. - Editors : A few days since myself and one or two friends concluded to take a ride on the North Carolina ll iil lioad to Salisbury. I was forcibly struck with the improvements on the road when I contrasted it with our oxvn quiet iown and could but. see the advances. A small im provement has been made at the first sta tion, Jaiuctovn. Proceed on to the next, where the plank road and rail road cro?9 at High Point, and ihcre you find a village Springing up a if by mugic- The new buildinjrs show that enterprise marks the place, and that ere lonj; it will be number ed and ranked as one' of tlve most impor tant places on the llail Road. Although in its infancy, the traveler will be oblij. 1. I 1 m eu to say ncre is a place oi considerable bu- siness. From High Point you arc carried on to the next station, Thoma3vilIe, some ten or twelve miles distant another town which owes its existence to this noble rail road ; a town which certainly has been laid out wilh much taste by its founder. It lias a female Academy, and you would judge from the large brick building which las i r . . .bcon crccted prcssly for the purpose, that it is a School of some size. It takes its n.line frnm it. former nwnrr. whn first va .vil . M ' r m, .,i ....... luumniu,-, and called it in honor of Lis inestimable ,ad Axxa (Glen-Anna ) This school, ! . .. . ,1 f attended to, the writer thinks, is bound j to succeed, from its easy access and com- manding location on the rail road. Thorn- asville has other attractions to the traveler. it has a H0tel, one or two stores, several j .1, , ., ,, , . ,1 residences if j n3""" resiueuccs, ait Demg new ana marKet, every tnmgncing uone oy macnin i just in the forrcst, gives the traveler a fa ! ery, and after extracting alltue spirits out 1 3 H I t ' vorablc opinion and certainly reflects much credit on its founder, John V. Thomas, Esq., a sterling Whig and a very enter-j prising man. After five minutes stop, you then proceed on, and over creeks, tnd riv- ulct,s, passing through a portion of fertile country you nest arrive at Lexington. The rail road docs not pass immediately through this town, and the writer had very little opportunity of forming an opinion. This ' whiskey. Everything about the establish town is behind many others of its sister ' mcnt is done in.th; cleanliest and ien.t?ft I towns on the road. It Ins not recently used ,as much white lead and oil as it uiiizlit have done to improvc it3 appcarance. hexing- .. .,rT 7 on is quue an important uepot on this road, much freight and considerable travel starts from this point. Immediately after leaving this place, you arc carried over one of the most fertile regions of North Caro lina. We cannot pass over it without no- ticing one farm which the road passes im- i factories, yea more than our sister town of mediately through; it is the farm of Dr. j Salisbury. Is it for the lack of capital ? Wm. R Holt. Those who have a taste for ' no, is it for the want of a sufficient num farming, could not spend the same amount ! her of people ? no. I will tell you what of mouy mere pleasantly, and probably more I I think of the two pi ices, one is using its advantageously than a visit over this road, j capital to nianufqrture such articles as are and viev the farm. Dr. Holt has rreat i needed in the counirv around, while our ljl!4te rur nnu stoek. fine farm, and is r.n- I J I llin.ll v. a gum. latllict, ilt.lLll vr ODIUM, visit his farm ; it will richly renav vou for Vn ,,,, fi , t.n, I '. gentlemanly man, and like to tell you about farming, phosphates, blooded stock, &c. The road passes about one mile through his ; farm, and through some of the finest farm ing land, called life Jersey settlement, up the banks of the Yndkin, one of the noble streams of the Old North Stale, crossing on a fine bridge, which gives the traveler a tine view of the stream, and the surround ing country. A few miles more, and you arc landed at the ancient town of Salisbury, I say ancient, because it dates back nearly as far as any town in the State. ' This town is located in a level country, soil red. It has a population of some 2500 inhabitants. Wheb we landed at the Depot, wo found two omoibusse8, both bearing the marks of age, we listened carefully to what the rep resentative of each omnibus had to say, for we soon found they were representing two hotels we, like a majority of other pas sengers, got into the largest omnibus, drawn by four splendid bays, with the crack of the whip, and a few turns of the comers, and we were landed at Col. Roberts' Hotel, where we found a good dinner prepared to satisfy our hungry; appetites. We found par old friend Adam from , Salem, one of the waters, Col. Roberts is a occommo-j ing landlord, and with the aid of a little j dati white lead and oil, - would have a good house. We had a fine walk around the town, and found it quite a business place, some ten or twelve dry goods stores, some of them large for retail stores in an inland town. Salisbury has threi churches, Pres byterian, Methodist, and . Episcopalean. it being the county town, has oneof tba dnest court houses, just built, in the State; 'near ly all of-the residences wr the appearance of ae, built in the old fashioned style, of architecture ; a little white lead and oil would improve wonderfully. In passing around, I had nearly forgotten to mention some of the new buildings under way. 1st, Shaver's Hotel, a; fine commanding looking building from tlie- out side, it is situated near the Depotj Boyden has also a fine house, which 1 learned was for a Ho tel, it reflects credit on the founder and the. t iwn. I w:n surprised to find, Messrs. Editors, so many factories iu this ancient town of Salisbury. There is near the De pot, a large Machine Shop and fonndcry, where agricultural implements and other articles are made to a considerable extent, promising a rich return to its owners and proprietors, everything was neat, and things wero .lone up with despatch. In the west part of town is a largo Factory, which I did not visit, but he nl-was doing quite a profitable business. Also our neighbors, Messrs. Dowlers, have opened a large fac tory for the manufacturing of wheat fans, doing quite a large and profitable business. There is also the lirga Cotton Factory which has been in operation for a number of years. A large machine shop buih for the manufacture of Hail Road cats on the Western Road, and last, but not least, is the large steam distillery of Mr. Myer My ers, a gentlemanly man, and a man of great energy This factory is situated about half a mile from the Depot, iu a beautiful grove, called Rock Spring, and driven by a thirty horse power, pteam engine runs two pairs of flurr Stones, which I was told, would grind 1,000 bushels of corn in twenty four hours. This establishment is well worth a visit to, by anv person visiting Salisbury. . " w ? ,. Corn is put into elevation, carried into the j hoppers of the mill, ground, carriexl- up. marked, put through the different opera- tious until it conies out whiskey, then rec- titled and put up in barrels and casks, for . , . I , ! I 1 1 ! of the grain, the slop uiaoe is forced off in ? pipes some hundred yards distant, and fid out to hogs. This gentleman has now five 1 hundred hogs fattening for fall trade, says : he will be able to have one hundred, which will average two hundred by Nov. next.J j This establishment will be able to use up : five hundred bushels grain per diy, and make from twelve to fifteen hundred gallon ; manncY and reflects much credit on ihe , proprietor. I learned from him, that there is invested some 30,000, and ho hopes j when grain gets plenty, and price down, to ' make it a very profitable investment.. And now Messrs. Editors, as this was about the last place I visited before leaving Salisbury, the thought occurred to me, why might we not have as many nianu- ,-..mi..l s..rr..,r nrv.. tn Pel 1 7H State Honds, Government stocks, and sit ting down quietly and cutrimr off the cou pons as they become due. and forcing their 1iillr.,ii ilirmiM It ( 'J ac i tn it ft nn fnilM- ! lion, whether they are capable of receiving it or not. Why do not our capitalists take some of their funds and start some of their relations, yea some of their own children to manufacturing, instead of giving them a col lage education, whom God never intended to be Doctors, Lawyers, or Divines. Just j a portion of the capital of Greensboro' in manufactories, hundreds of articles might be made heie which would keep the money at borne, that is now carried north to pay for them. Let our capitalists think of this, invest capital, and keep up the price of real estate, increase the population of our village, and make better citizens of sons who are now on the road to ruin, unless they change their course, and have em ployment. Employment is the main spring to virtue , and happiness. After bidding our hospitable landlord adieu, we got into the same large omnibus, drawn by, four fine bays, and driven by an old stager who we shall take the liberty of calling MosesI He drove us down to the Rail Road, cross ing the track at full apeedf iturntng his four steeds and the omnibus - around in a circle of ten feet to. the ratisfaction pf all parties we (d puj promising ourselves I;. friend Moses adieu, to take a ride with him the next ; time we, went'to Salisbury. After 2 i hours of as pleasant a Rail Road ride as we ever had, . with the gentlemanly conductor, Mr. Bradshaw, we were landed safely In our own quiet town to tnjoy the past as a pleasant drea m. Ego, Te Season The Crops The Present . ana tne iratare. , r? AJ ale spring, frequent rains, and a pro longed co&tin nance of wncb leather a ren dered winter clothing necessary;-these causes, combined with the inadequacy of the usual remittances from the interior either in money or produce, have sensibly reduced tne amount of 'trade usually done at this season of the year, and have left many mercantile houses with large sup plies of goods on hand, which must either be worked oil at a loss or held over until the demand for such fabrics becomes ac tive. The summer trade is always small in comparison wilh (hat of the earlier and later months of the year, and we may therefore look forward to a considerable stringency in the money market and a continuance of high prices for breadstuffs, even though the coming crop should turn out eventually more than an average one. ' The marked decrease in the receipts of theJSaltimore and Ohio Railroad for the past mouth when compared with the cor responding period of last year, affords us a Striking indication of the fact that the in terior has been drained of its surplus sup plies, and that although the aggregate earn ings of the road during the eight months of ihe present fiscal year show an increase over the corresponding period of last year, amounting to $347,479,89, i this increase has arisen from the anxiety of agricultur alists to take advantage of the high prices prevailing hitherto, but through which they have left themselves an insufficient supply for domestic uses and local con sumption until the crops now in the ground are matured and harvested. It is true that with the fine pasturage afforded to cattle by the lecent rains, and S w,in ,ne proven condition oi tne crops 1 gviiviun , iuc icw wccks maw uuw iiuer- vene before the farmers will begin to re plenish their exhausted granaries are not likely to reduce them to straits either for food or provender, but when wc take into consideration that they have been taught by unpleasant experience not to sell their stock too close in future, and the heavy local demand that wiil absorb a large pro portion of the surplus, we can scarcely ex pect to find any great reduction in the price of breadstuffs and provisions for a year yet to come, and it it phould happen that European buyers are disposed to make shipments abroad, it is difficult to foretell to what extent the market maybe affected. As a matter of prudence, therefore, it would be well if the wealthier classes would set an example of economy, and that the wasteful extravagance with which our people are justly reproached, should be qualified and toned down to a standard mora in consonance with the exigencies ot the day and the social characteristics of the republic. A -liberal use of wealth is ut questionably of advantage to our indus trial population, but a lavish expenditure of a dubious income involves in difficulties not only those wno are tnus prodigal, but many others who depend upon them for the mean of meeting their own engage ments. That the domestic arrangements of our fair country women are but too often on a scale of magnitude ill befitting the purses liege lords, is an evil for which .both par ties are to blame ; but it is one which, we fear, will scarcely be reniedied until a rad ical change is effected in onr system of ed ucation and in the hometraiuing of chil dren, now so sadly falling into neglect. Still, in view of the fact that the present hith prices of all articles that enter into the consumption of families will probably continue Jor an indefinite period of time yet u come, and in consideration of the probable fal'ing off in the usual amount of business done in the large cities, any ef fort that might be made in the way of re trenchment would tend to ease off ti e ex treme pressure that may otherwise weigh heavily upon all classes of citizens, and, if systematically followed up, would pro mote a salutary reaction in the public mind. The credit system adopted throughout the United States ii based only upon the absolute confidence existing between buv ers and sellers ; and so intimately are all branches of trade coiniect.'d with each m1. or thnt the reckless operations of one i.

Church, to remain iu fellowship with the j brethren who had thus virtually excommu- j nicated them Irom the Assembly, -have issued an address, setting forth the reasons ' which compelled the step, addressed lo the Ministers aud Churches in connexion with the General Assembly of the Presby- ' terian Church The address is calm and temperate throughout, apparently written more in sorrow than iu anger : " We had hoped that our brethren who have been disposed to introduce this sub ject into the General Assembly would ere this have boon convinced that no good could result to the church from this agita tion that it was alienating brethren of a common Christian faith, and was calculated to render the condition of the slave more undesirable, and to sunder the ties that bind our union together. In this regard we have been sadly disappointed. In conse quence of the political agitation of the sub ject, and of the pressure brought to bear up on them by Congregational Churches hold ing the most ultra Abolition sentiments, many of our Western Presbyteries have be come more urgent in demanding progressive action of the Assembly. They have . not been satisfied wilh the past declarations of the Assembly. They have desired the As sembly to express its views of the sin of slaveholdmg sj clearly that they can be made the basis of discipline by the courts of the Church. This action has now been virtually Liken by the Assembly. It has avowed the relation of master and servant wlijU MVVtriMl llj( tiitutvca ,jdcl Of property in the services of the latiS'r is, a sin in the sight of God, and an offejpee in the sense in which the term is usedin the Constitution of the Church. This declara tion has been made, although confessedly there is not the most remote allusion to slaveholding in our standards, and also with the knowledge of the fact that when our Constitution was adopted twelve out of the thirtften States were slaveholding States, and many of those who composed the As sembly of 1789, if not slaveholders them selves, were the representatives of Presby teries in which were churches whose mem bers were slaveholders.
