Quite Wnamber of . sabscriptioM ! hare marked the papers to Indicate It tWe would be pleased, to bare Jail Buclt renew' immediately, and ! send in the amount of subscription, i as ire make oat a new list and will "I erase the names of those who are ! not Daid up for the coming year. ; We hive resolved on the cash ays- tem as far as subscriptions go, and an eiperience of several years here and elsewhere has taught us that it ia the onlv way to avoid heavy loss, i f i : Something to Think About. !;! j There is a manifest desire on the part of the people, and the people 1' representatives at Raleigb, to make i Bomekrrangement about our State i; debt 'that. will relieve us from the onerous burdens under which we i are now struggling. Sundry propositions have been i made! at different times during the sittings of the last and piesent Leg - islature, and all made in good faith, no doubt. Among these propositions is one! which is up again,which sug frost khe disDosincr of the State's 0 ; interest in her internal improve- ment taking her out-standing bonds in payment for the same. This question has two sides to it; its advantages and disadvantages, and it; should meet with due and deliberate consideration before any action! be taken. We know we are restive under the burdens hat op press uSjbnt we should not act hast- ; ily, and for temporary relief do that whicti we may lever have cause to " : The object of the State in making appropriations to these internal iin . provements was a good one ; it was to develop our resources and utilize tmx vast "powers, and if the object had been carried out in good faith "we ! would to-day have one of the most flourishing and inviting States over which the American flag floats. But sharpers, speculators and thieves got hold of the helm and run us into the mud and here we are up to our eyes j but to get out of the mud we shouldn't rush into the quick-sand. To illustrate with a case in point we take the Fayetteville Railroad, which was intended to be construct ed from Fayetteville to Greensboro. The building of this road would de velop one of the finest coal, iron and other mineral sections in the known world, and at once bring it into the market To give our read ers an idea of the importance and the immense wealth locked up in the bosom of the section referred to we quote a brief part of the report made . by Geo. Q. Elliott, Chief of the Corps of Engineers appointed by the government in 1871, to make a survey of the Cape Fear and Deep River:, i "The entire country drained by the Deep Biver comprises an area of 1000 square miles, affording an abundant supply of water for a Black-water navigation, and for mill purposes. It is subject to ex tensive freshets, which overflow the banks of the lower portion, at times to a depth of 10 or l'J feet, doing much injury to the crops and farms ; in the immediate vicinity of the nv ' er. The portion of the Deep River ' country which came within the scope of the survey contains some fine : farms, yielding a surplus of grain, which is manufactured into flour and transported tp Fayetteville or Raleigh. ' - : The principal claim of this conn ; try to notice, however, is its wealth ; in minerals, particularly in coal and iron, which are very abundant, but, owing to a want of transportation, the mines have, up to the present time,- remained almost entirely un developed. The extent of the coal fields has been accurately defined by ProL E. Emmons, in a geological ' survey made under authority of the ' State of North Carolina. In his report of 1852, he estimates them to cover an area of ninety square miles, and to contain, at the very lowest estimate, 258,000,000 tons easily workable. The coal is bituminous in character, and has been proved by analysis and actual trial to be of sjuperior quality. Pre viousto 1850 a shaft ws excavated ' at Egypt to a depth of 4C0feet, and a considerable'quantity of coal tak en out,but the proprietors having no means of getting it to market were compelled to suspend operations By the recent completion of the Chatham Railroad from Raleigh, there; is now con tin nous railroad communication between Egypt and the sea-board at Norfolk, and the company who own the shaft have made preparations to resume opera tions,1 but it is doubtful whether the "high rates of freight on the railroad will admit of the mine being worked profitably. The principal deposit of iron-ore is found about nine miles from the Gulf,' in a hill known as Ore Knob, which ia elevated some 300 feet a- ; ; bove the surrounding country, and covers about 300 acres.

Nine miles Deiow liaywood, - at Buckhorn. on the east bank ot the Cape Fear, is a large ore-hill, covering some 300 acres, which kis said to coataiaa solid Vein of nearly pure, per-oxide of Iron; 8 feet in width. ' n- This will give some idea, of the immense 'resources of 'this t -Deep Hi ver Valley which would be opened to enterprise and capitals oy. tne completion of this road. The inter est the State has in 'ftp abbot one million dollars we believe, is a mere shadow when compared with the princely profit to be realized from the completion of the work. Unless we are misinformed there is a deliberate effort on foot, by in terested parties belonging to 4 rival corporations, at the head of which is the Baleigb & Gaston Railroad Company, to throttle tbis enterprise secure the bonds thus get con trol of the stock and kill the work forever. . Whether they can suffi ciently control the Legislature to carry out this scheme or not' we don't know, but we do know that the last Legislature permitted Mr. Hawkins to violate his charter and run his road, which was originally chartered to go through the coal- ainerens roui, ou j 0 which was never oontempiaiea, leaving the coal-fields out in the cold. His object is to get a through route South and kill air other roads which may come in competition with his own. Bight here we ask the serious at- 1 tention of our representatives, and we ask them to see that tor a fancied temporary relief they do not put the knife to the throat of our State and become privy to her assassination. Let it be the care of the State's I guardians in the Legislature to see that if a bill should pass selling out her interest in our internal im provements, that a clause be insert ed rcauirina the completion, tcithinra reasonable period, of these tcorks as contemplated by their charters. This will prevent the purchase with a view to their destruction and perhaps facilitate their completion. With this road completed from Favetteville here, or rather from pw a. hroat r no mi w- whiVh coa.d bedooeOtbeDpBiver valley would become the seat of en-1 terprises that would add millions j to the wealth of the State, and en rich the people of that entire sec tion. - We know that capitalists have purchased large tracts with the view to working mines extensively when facilities to reach the markets are open to them, and we know that 1 others only hesitate because there are no such facilities and they fear the very thing against which we now offer our warning j but, if they had hope that this road would be finished in a reasonable time tbey would hesitate no longer. The State at large is interested in this, but more especially- the Deep Biver region, and we call on our representatives to see that they do not inflict a mortal wound, to be re lieved from a temporary ailment. Commit suicide to get rid of a tooth ache. The Legislature. Since the re-assembling of the Legislature quite a number of spe cial bills have been introduced and passed. Charters for a seaboard railroad from New York to Charles ton ; a road from Baufort west, to connect with the Southern Pacific, and other railroad charters have led to lengthy discussions and con sumed much time. The Radicals are making a big effort to have the disabilities of that arch sinuer, II olden, removed, so that he may have a chance to be re-elected by the negroes of the State and play the petty tyrant again. .Mr. Gorman has introduced a bill to repeal the usury laws which will give the members a chance to tell us what they know about fi nances. This is a measure of vital importance to the people. There are other bills of importance in ref erence "to the State debt, constitu tional amendments, &a, before committees, which have not been reported yet.

It will be rem em be ml that the death of Mr. Held left a vacancy in. the office .o. Superintendent of Public Instruction, the appointment to which was offered by . Gov. Cald well to Prof. Phillip of Davidson College, who declined; ' - x. It was then offered to Kemp, P. Battle, who accepted, whereupon the following i correspondence en sued : : ' ' , Raleigh, Jan. 15th, 1873. Hon. Alex. Mclvert Raleigh : " Dear Sib : Having received from His Excellency, Gov. Ca!d well, a commission appointing me Superin tendent of Public Instruction of the State ot North Carolina, and; taken the oath required by law, I respect- , fully notify you that I will be ready to take charge of the office on to- Having derived great pleasure, aq weii M nrofu from the nerusal of your exceedingly able report to the present General Assembly, I hope, and from our friendly relations, be lieve, that, you will continue to aid me with yonr valuable counsels. , Truly Tours, Kemp P. B attle, Sup. of Pub. Instruction. Office Sup't Pub. Instruction, Raleigh, 2T.CL, Jan. 16, 1873. Hon. Kemp P. Battle : ; Dear Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, giving no tice of your appointment by His Excellency, Gov. Caldwell. , Assured as I am, from an ac quaintance with you of more than twenty years, of your eminent fit ness for the duties of the office of Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, I would cheerfully surrender the office to you, if I believed that my term of office had expired, or y(m daim jjy tne nr8t section of Art. 3 of ! the State Constitution the term of office of all officers of the Executive fffi.S! eiect?on anti continue until their successors are elected and qualified, By section 13 of the same Article If the office of any of said officers shall be vacated by death, resigna tion, or otherwise, it shall be the duty of the Governor to appoint an other until the disability be remov ed, or his successor be elected and qualified. An officer is one who is invested w,th an office. Mr. Beid had not been invested with the office, and therefore he was not an officer. The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction never became the office of Mr. Reid, and theiefore it was not vacated by his death or o.her- wise, me uonstitutiou continues the term of the present incumbent and no vacancy has occurred. It is reasonable that the Constitution should designate theperson, if it has a suitable person on hand, to continue in office, in case the person elected dies or refuses to qualify ; and the Constitution of North Car olina does this very thiug. It con tinues the term of the incumbent until bis successor is elected and qualified. No vacancy occurred, and His Excellency had no authori ty to grant the commission to which you refer, and for that reason the commission is null and void. I, therefore, most respectfully de- cliue to surrender to you the office of Superintendent of Public Instruc tion. Sinceiely yours, Alexander McIvee, Supt. of Pub. Instruction. Now here's a chanoe for a little law suit and an illustration of how tenaciously these Radicals cling to an office even as small as that. They are like rats ; when they once ! get in it is the very mischief to get them out. We don't know mnch about Mr. Mclver, but this looks rather like going back on the man who pnt him in. His pretended argument is a mere quibble that can't hold the test, for it is not the mere language, but also the intent of the law which will come into question, and it is cer tainly not the intent that he should remain in office forever, if candi dates elect persist in dying.

'Bold Robbery. One of ithe bold est robberies which ever occurred in this section;. was perpetrated in this town: on Monday last, j A ne gro, whose name we failed to learn, was offering a pistol for sale on the streets for 110.

POSTAL TKXXOBAra. ' . The very important question of the nnion of the telegraph with the postal service will: be considered in the Senate next week, Upon bill and report that received the unanimous rote of, the Sen ate Post Office Committee. It is claimed that the beneficial results of this union are that facilities will be greatly increas ed by making all post office on or near telegraph circuits, postal telegraph of fices. This Will give from . 5,000 to 8,000 new omces without discontinuing any old ones. The rates will be reduced one half, and the length of the message In creased over eu per cent, and lor Vi cents message of 25 words can be sent at night 1,000 miles. The rates to the press will be reduced to as great an extentnd for 75 cents 100 words can be sent 500 miles. :rThe system will be in harmony with, tne mail service, letters and tele grams being received and delivered through the post office, "transmitted be tween offices by contractors, owning and operating lines of railroad or telegraph, at rates fixed by Congress. This plan will give cheap telegraphy without cost to the Government, as the postage of five cents, to be paid on each telegram, will cover all expenses. I find that nuny Democratic I members of Congress favor this measure some on . its own merits, and others because they believe, if this plan is not now. adopted, Government telegraph will be forced upon the conn try next year, and every Democratic member prefers this plan to that. From present indications this bill will be acted on and passed in a short time, and on ac count of its! being a stopper of Creswell's pet scheme UoTernnieut telegrapa it will most probably receive the almost en tire Democratic vote.
