A meeting for the purpose of forming the above important and 'interesting So ciety, was held on Tuesday evening last. Charles Fisher, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Junius Sneed, Esq. appointed Secretary. The convention then proceeded to the adoption of a Constitution, and to the choice of Officers and Directors to con stitute a Board of Managers. ' The following gentlemen were chosen a Board of Managers for the ensuing year : Rev. Dr. J. O. Freeman, President. Dr. J. Beckwith, Dr. Wilie Jones, L yce Presi(lents. George Andrews, Col. Jno.

Any person on the payment of 10 dollars, may become a life subscriber, without any further contribution. The meetings of the Board of Managers are to be held quarterly, in Salisbury. There is to be an annual meeting of the Society, on the first Monday in August. Ministers of the Gospel, who arc mem bers of the Society, are entitled to attend and vote at all meetings of the Managers. The Rev. Dr. Freeman, Dr. Beckwith, Thos. Cowan, Esq. and Dr. Long, werx? appointed a committee to prepare the Constitution, Sec for printing, and also to prepare r.n Address to be laid before the public. From the unanimity and zeal which characterized the meeting, we anticipate much good from the institution of this Society, THE CONVENTION. Our readers will observe, that the Legislature, with a wisdom that we never doubted, have re jected the Convention Hill, by a vote in the House of Commons of 81 to 47. AVc well knew hat the members from the East would do their tjutt, nor were we, by them, disappointed in our expectations. We understand, that arr.OTig the members who ombattcd the iews of the West, none did it more effectually, and witli greater credit to himself and his constituents, than the representative from this town. But what will V.rs. Grundv sav ?' Our brethren of the Wes tern Carolinian will now hav-e to gird on their swords. Peaceably if we can forcibly if we must 'we presume" will be the motto placed on the front of these Knights' helmets. Cape Fear hecorder. We are really very, glad to hear again from cur old friend the Rccudcr, as we j had become apprehensive that he was sleeping at his post; but we find, that with a vigilance that never slumbers, he stands a faithful watchman to guard the rights of the fieofde, and to preserve the constitu tion from the touch of unhallowed hands. It is gratifying, also, to learn, that the Re corder's expectations' have been reali zed, for we are not so selfish as to think only of ourselves, as ours, we can assure him, have likewise been to their fullest extent. The Legislature, c with a wisdom we never doubted,' have followed the royal maxim, of ' sticking to what is ancient ; being doubtless convinced, as well by their own observation, as from the argu ments of so distinguished a personage as a member of the Holy Alliance, i that what is ancient is good, even if that and justice and right should be antipodes to each other. We are not so sure yet that we shall ' have to gird on our sword;9 for we are in the expectation of shortly receiving a supply of muskets from Raleigh, which will be used, to speak very learnedly, as a succedaneum. But lest the fears of our brother editor, on receiving this intelli gence, should be unnecessarily excited, he is informed that they are wooden ones : it is confidently expected, however, that they will answer equally as good a pur pose as Col. Washington's leg cannon. These muskets, it is but justice to say, are a donation from a friend of ours (whom we once indirectly obliged) residing in the East ; who, with a sagacitv almost pro phetic, and a patriotism which cannot be too highly appreciated, saw the approach ing contest, and provided a supply of arms for the West of u kind anil quality which, from his intimate knowledge of the East and of the valor and prowess of their sol diers, he knew would b most useful. Let the 4 men of might,' therefore, from Carteret, Currituck, Columbus, Sec. think well on't, ere they put the 4 left foot for ward,' and be sure to become expert, not in the manual, but the pedal exercise ; and be certain, likewise, that they fully under stand the term backward march as a ready apprehension of its meaning may save them a deal of trouble. N. B. When we feci in the humor, wc will recall to the recollection of the Recorder a little circumstance which took place at the commencement of his edito rial career, and tell how gallantly hc.buck led on his armor in defence of Western Rights 1 INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. The riewly-elcctcd Board have held a meeting, and instructed the Civil Engin eer to complete the Survey of the Cape Fear River, and the Canal on that River, and that in the survey and examination, he particularly report to the Board his i oninion of the most advantageous mode i of improving the navigation of the River. That he will make a Survey ot the hum- . her River, and ascertain the practicabili ty, utility and expense of opening a Nav igation from the waters of the Brown and White Marsh, in the Counties of Bladen and Columbus, into the Waccamaw or Elizabeth Rivers. That he make plans and specifications for a Guard Lock on the Roanoke Canal ; that he make an ex amination of the Roanoke from Danville to Plymouth ; that he report to the Board his opinion as to the expediency or inex pediency of Locking down from the ter mination of the Canal at Weldon's, into the River. That he ascertain the true line by which a communication can be made between the waters of the Roanoke and Tar Rivers, beginning near Williams town, on the Roanoke, and entering near Washington, on the Tar ; that he have a survey made of the same, and an estimate of the expense. That he report also on the practicability and utility of making a Road fiora Plymouth to the Loghouse Landing, in Hyde county, through the Dis mal Swamp. That he be instructed to fix the site of a Lock and dam on Tar Ri ver. That he furnish to the Clubfoot and Harlow's Creek Navigation Company, Plans and Specifications of a regulating Lock for tht ir Canal, and that he exam ine the work done on said Canal. That he visit the Broad River, and give instruc tions to the contractor as to the manner of executing the work on said River. That he inspect the Road which has been made in the Western part of the State under the direction of the Legislatuie, or this Board, and report his opinion there on ; and that he make a survey of the Road from Raleigh to the Clarendon Bridge near Eavetteillc, to be made as direct as is practicable and advisable, with an estimate of the expense of making said Road firm and durable. Wc congratulate the friends of Intern al Improvements on the accession which has been made, by the act of the late ses sion which appropriates to this object the Dividends arising from the Shares held by the State in the Banks of Newborn and Cape-Fear, which, it is presumed, will be from 20 to S25,000 a year. The Board adjourned to meet on the third Monday in June next ; except soon er called together by his excellency the Governor, the President of the Board. Raleigh Register. It would be much more gratifying, we believe, to the people generally, to learn that the Board of Internal Improvements were bestowing more of their attention on roads, and, under present circumstan ces, less on the rivers. For the most sanguine can hardly expect, that, with our present means, the State will be able to make navigable, or to improve, to much purpose, all the rivers which the public Engineer is directed to survey, and make reports upon. The truth is, our plans arc by far too extensive, and by their mag nitude defeat their object. We are anti cipating our resources at least half a cen tury. While on this subject, we will inform a correspondent, from whom we have re ceived several private communications on the subject of our Internal Improvements, as well as one or two public ones, which have appeared in our paper, that our pa? ges are open to a free discussion of it, and that wc would gladly receive commu nications from him; but we must decline, for the present, entering into it, from in competency, as it is a subject upon which we have bestowed very little thought ; consequently we could not treat it in that manner which it deserves. Prom the National Intelligencer. An account is given, in the Charleston Courier of Dec. 20th, of a case of atro cious piracy on an American vessel, the schooner Emily, Capt. Robbins, commit ted on the 12th instant, the day of her sailing from Matanzss. They hoisted the captain twice by the neck, to extort from him information of specie supposed to be on board of his vessel ; and the second time they allowed him to hang until life was nearly extinct. " We sincerely hope," says the Courier, and most cordi ally we participate in the hope, " that the United States brig Enterprize, Lieut. Kearney, which left Charleston on the 6th instant for the scene of those atrocities, may overhaul the freebooters, and afford them an opportunity of partaking in the amusement of hanging, a sport to which they appear so very partial." lencics which it is the privilege of mortals to pos sess. Her relatives, friends, and youthful asso ciates, feel themselves at liberty to entertain the pleasing hope and fond belief, that though she has been snatched away at so early a period of her life from among them, she has only been removed from a world of troubles to a world of endless bliss, where they hope again to meet her, and to dwell with her forever. She cued in the full possession of her senses, and appeared in the prospect of death perfectly resigned to the will of God. Communicated. In Cabarrus county, on the 11th instant, of a dropsy in the brain, Horace M. Txiatis, an infant and only child of Mr. Silas Travis. Go, gentle babe, to realms of bliss ; The chast'ning rod we humbly kiss. Thy Saviour calls thee home, my son, And let his holy will be done. Thy earthly parents loved thee well So much, that language fails to tell : But, ah ! their love was weak and poor; Thy Heavenly parent loves thee more. Communicated.
