For although noj tle fath er of that one much favored journal, he is the author of whlatever reputation it is now remem bered to have possessed, If may be pardoned for saying that it was a useful newspaper in its .day, and served the public as such aa well as any which feVve come alter it ; and further that there tt no reason why it may not do so again.' ' The Curolinia Watchman was always inde pendent and candid. It was fearlessly so under the control of iu honored parent, the late I J ax il? C Joxrs, who started t jn 1832, in op position to the then alarming and highly excl ting nullification movement of 6outh Carolina. 'The spirit of .that movement had rapidly spread in this SUte. It was, in this section, extremely rancorous ; and it required nerve and discretion to oppose its almost frenzied advocates without addinir to the fierceness of the flame. 1 The y I i J Watchman was 'conservative," (to use a mod ern term,) arid advocated obedience to the laws, patience under wrongs; but the firmfpur- suit of moderate,; rational and lawful means for the correction of the Wrongs complained of. , j M&i Johi rejllnquiihed it Jn 1839, to il.

One of them has been brought to thei city and presented to an officer of the Petersburg railroad. ' - - - The bodies were closely packed together,laid tier ori jicr, as ijt seerned. There was no dis cernale ibgress into or egress put of the mound. The mystery is who these giants were ; to what race they oelonced, to what era, and bow they came to be buried there.! To these inquiries ho answer has yet been made, and meanwhile the rnthless pade ponlinues to cleave : skull and body asdnuer, throwing up in mingled masses the bones p this heroic tribe. We hope some efforts will be made to preserve" authentic and accurate ! accounts of these discoveries, and to throw some light, if. possible, on the lost tribe whose bones have been "4h us rudelv disturbed i from toejr sleep in earth's bosom, As f sttpplement to the above, we copy the following from the Wheeling Intelligencer, as the giants and the mound-builders may have been of the same race? During last week some workmen, in makintr an excavation iii a mound ,at Martin's Ferry. Ohio, discovered and exhumed' two human letns.f One of themwas found intact, the br had fallen to pieces. What was remark able about their burial was the fact that the bodies had evidently been covered by an arch made pt limestone boulders, which were in an irregular heap about the remains; These must have beeen carrited a considerable distance and placed in (the mound, aa they are not found in that alluvial formation, j Portions of one of ike skeletons were presented by Capt: James Deen to P-rofessor Marion, of the Female College, where they have been placed in the museum. These remains are supposed to be of persons who belonged to the ancient race of mound builders, Jthose .aboriginal inhabitants of this country who are said to antedate in their histo ry evn the Indians. All thronch the Missis sippi "Valley, from the lakes to the Gulf, are lountti defensive earthworks and other monu ment of these ancient mound-builders. There are said to be ten thousand of the mounds in Ohio alone. Some were erected for purposes of military defence, others as great altars of reli gious fworship, and still others as burial places and monuments for the dead. .NORTH C. R. R. LEASE.

This' had become obvious frcjm many rea sons! 1 will only, for the fretent, state a tew ot tncni. - Thje (Legislatnre of 18C9f-'70 granted charters to companies, empowering them to build railroads parallel with our road from Greensboro' to Charlotte. One or more" of these have passed into the hands of the Richmond & Danville R. R. Co., who were preparing to nsc the franchise if driven to that necessity by the continued refusal of this! company to make any terms of the common use of that part pf Jthe line. Bills; were joffered in the last Legislature to repeal ori modify these charters. The Legi-latnre refused to in terfere! with them. In fac, the day of refusing or repealing charters for railroads had passed. This is an agje of building roads, not suppressing them. We must recogniie these mdispntabltj facts. Thus left to tbe contest with competing inter ests, wo; have endeavored Ho make tbe moat of the situation for yoor protection It;is now well understood that tbe capi tal and j enterprise of ; the Pennsylvania Central: Railroad have become largely in terested in the R. & D.

This, as every one can plaiuly see, would totally destroy our Road., Therefore, the leasia was an imperative. necessity. This Road has been and would have continued to be the mere football ofparty, and your interests the prey of politicians.
