Rail Road, at this place. The object, of the meeting, as we learn, is to consider the propriety of adopting the amended char ter providing for the consolidation of the Western X. 0. with the Atlantic N. 0. and the North Carolina Rail Roads. We understand there is but little opposition here to consolidation. An old friend writes us that it we can a m m e s it not print the Watchman for two dollars, we must st p it. We regret to inform our friend that we shall have to stop his paper, it he will not pay $2 50 for it. But we shall not stop printing thu Watchman; for there arc good men enough in the connrty who will take it and who would rather have it at two dollars and fifty cents a year than a Northern psper they can get at two dollars, to enable us to con tinue its publication indefinitely. They have sense enough to know that we can't compete with Northern publications that we can't print a paper as cheap as they can in the North. Then they prefer to support a home paper that gives them all the local news and that labors to pro mote the prosperity of the State and the local interests of our citizen;. Such a pa per they regard as more interesting and more worthy of their support than any paper printed at a distance, and whose publishers have no common sympathy with, or even concern for thu welfare of oar people, We wish we could send the paper to every one who desires it for two dollars a year ; but wc can't do it and support our family, Then the Watchman is as cheap n . . .i jLk ' . as any paper puntea in tne state, every thing considered. But should wc see any a .i m pooeiuie wuy 10 reuuee me price ot our paper without lo-ing money, we shall do NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT. Just now there is a complete calm in the political world. There is no excite ment, and consequently no news. The gassiest of newspaper writers seem to have nothing to write about. " And they are tne most woe begone looking and acting set of fellows that ever encumbered a world. It is next to impossible to de scribe one of those quill-drivers when he agony of nothing to write about. Je is, indeed, a sad looking picture. P.ublicatiou day is at baud, yet he no editorial and nothing to write about. ii win never uo to let nis paper go out without haviug some original matter in it rople will wy he is drunk, or stupid, or anfit to bo an editor. And although he exhausted every subject of general inter- flit weeks before, he must rack his brain ogct out something new, no matter wheth er he has any thing to write about or not. Poos ftHow ! what a sight ! Behold him ts he'nervowsly grasps his pen as if be bit. . m . . would wrttc a column in a moment of jgreat interest. He scarcely writes the heading of an article before ho stops, seiz- a newspaper, hurriedly glances over it, throws it aside, dips his pen into the ink, pauses ajrnin looks blank and trodbled; f!pO U Jooks are a proper index to bis feelings he is not only sad, but miserable.

The Supreme Coart baa now decided uiui whcu uuirments are renaerea on these bonds, writs of mandamus may be issued to the State pr county officers, re 1 . .1 f I J MS I quiring them to levy and collect the taxes to satisfy these judgments; bat if these officers resign, then the mandamus can not bo en forced, and that the Federal Courts cannot authorize t be United States Marshal to go into counties and levy and n- .iv 'pu:- Ejfi Tz a collect these taxes. This is a right and important decision, one that will enable counties. that have been plundered to have a say in the proper .adjustment of their bonded indebtedness. tr The Inflation of the Currency xne Baltimore (Jrazette thinks of Its Probable Workings. There is no doubt of the currency of the country being inflated to the extent of $46,000,000. The press of different sec tions differ widely as to their opinion of us working. We have hearfly favored it. believing that it would work good results. Here is the way the Baltimore Qaxette thinks of it: "All the great commercial , cities, from Bal ii more eastward, have protested em pbatically against any farther inflation of the currency. Boards of Trade are in accord on ibis subject. Pubi c meetings, at which the di vers -Tied business interests of populous ci maturities have been rep resented, have passed resolutions in oodo- sition to inflation, and deputations hare Deen to Washington to urge upon Coun gress the necessity of legislating in favor of contraction rather thau expansion and in the interest of a return to specie pay ments, at the earlest possible day. But the united voices of , these shrewd and cautions and! far sighted business men have been as the voice of one crying in the wilderness. The impoverished Sontb and the depleted West join in the demand tii at t lie volume of the currency be Increas ed j lbs crowds of speculators everywhere clamor for it, and Congress has shown an evident inclination to grant aH that they ask. The experience -of the past teaches no lesson that our legislators are dispos ed to heed. The notion that if more cur rency is issued it will find its way to those points that are now bare of it, will be kept in circulation there, and will not gravitate as the existing currency does, towards the Eastern cities, ia as puerile as it is pernicious. Money will be made eheanr by expansion, prices every where will rise, a new era of speculation will aet inl ni? the premium bn gold will rise. After that will come a panic from over-trading and bver-speculation and an inevitable collapse The debauch will be pleasant enough kbUat it lasts, but the headaeh will fol lowmore Hkelv Still the heartarh .A that sort of repentance that is born of bit' ter regret busted hones, and sham aifflP u - ' r r 1 A Terrible Scene. i v b t .2 TuiM.H.. J . t . . Shei brooke, Guysborough county, N. 8., by a freshet. The St. Mary rieer waa swollen hy the rain aad thaw. A couple of miles above Sherbrooke there is a na tural dsn of rocks acrdss the river, be yond which lor several miles it ia called aim waier. i lie ice on this portion of me neer nroae up in consequence of the freshet, and flooded the whole of the val ley. On the left bank of the river where Sherbrooke is situated the scene was a fearful one. The flood brought down thousands of tons of ice and great numbers of lop. Whole trees were uprooted from me oanas in tbe course ot the torrent. The solid ice below the village remained Arm, and the Hate upon which Sherbrooke stands, became a hailing sea. Boats aud canoes were in demand. Every house was flooded. The cattle were driven oat of town by persona on horseback. The women, children, and aged people were taken away iu boats. Many families abandoned their houses altogether, while others took refuge in the upper stories. Two bridges in the village, and large bridge over the St. Mary's river, are gone. A new vessel nearly ready for launching r waa destroyed, and much timber carried away. The day after the flood the moan. tains of iee and the loss, trees sad other debris became frozen solid, so that the villege is now imbedded in a frozen sea. The ruin ia indescribable ; it extends a Gen. Clinoman Interviewed in WASHINGTON. A Herald reporter er interviewed (ieneral ( lineman in t . tim . - . .

"None for Joseph, if he knows Hi? . Judge Bynum. The Conservative press of the State is just now commenting with much f tvor. and'very properly too, upon a recent dissenting opin Ion filed by Judge Bynum in a ease that went up from Johnson county to the last term of the Supreme OoUrt. The question before the Coart was one directly involving the right of eounsel to conduct their cases according to their own best judgment and not at th 6 dictation of the Court. Iu his opinion, Judge Bynum says : Three prisioners are on trial for their lives, and making several defences. Many witnesses are examined and the testimony is conflicting. The evidence is eloaed, and th argument about to begin. Just then, without any previous warning, the Judge announces to the prisioners' eounsel, "you shall have only an hour and a half for your address to the jury."
