FULTON. f$r The recent washing up of the South Caroli na Road and the overflow of the Watereo trestle work, caused, as before stated, material delay in tho transportation of passengers and the mails South of Sumtrrville. In consequence of these unavoidable acclJrnts, the steamer Gladiator, Capt. Bate, belong ing to the Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road Compa ny, has 'been generously put in t-ervice, to convey passengers to Charleston She left on Saturday last, at 4 o'clock, P. M , for Charleston, taking the 11. S. Mails and about one hundred passengers. The enterprising proprietor of the Pavilion Hotel in Charleston chartered the steamer Florida, on Sat orday last, at a cost of $1,200 the trip, for a similar purpose. The Florida, Capt. Willc, arrived here yesterday morning about 9 o'clock, with sixty odd passengers and the mails. The Florida left here yes terday, at about 4. P. M., on her return trip to Charleston, with about sixty passengers nud the through mails, which had arrived sinco the departure of the Gladiator. ar-,eJ uil.l lo.jnrrr.iW rrcrn .r?. a p t D'Ttf ni eiirir- 4t: n will t Lf'J.

I' Ifc lrtudt nt ami Mmbert of thf ll'ilmingtm Chamber vf Commerce : r,n(Ti ikki Tb Coutuittee to wham ha bren rrferri a Iftter frum Capt. Owen Hurnn, aJ lrrMcJ to jour hojj, ia relation to tha rMablidhintnt of team rommuuication W- twen the )orU of Havana anl wilmirijftun, ren)ftfully re port i That from all the information obtained, the have no hes itation in recommending tha project to the favorable coniij- ration of your body ; and houlJ you approve, would urg tha co operation of our people in consummating the object proposed. A Steam eommunlcatlon with the Inland of Cuba would be of great advantage to our merchant! , a it would otn a vast field of e nterprlne ; and one with which but few of them are yet acquainted. To our Itics planter, who have junt caue to complain of the want ot a remunerative market, it would open a new outlet, and offer a permanent and certain mart for the lale of Fio. The Farmer, in thii section of North Carolina, whoM producUof drain, Flour, Uacoit, Lard, and other article of the farm, are fat becoming much too great for home connumption, and which, in many rate, will not pay by transfer toother home market, Utto lea interested ; and I ha project commend iKlfto bim with equal, if not greater force. The intcreit of the Minor, Manufacturer and Capitalist are all equally Involved. So are those of our citiien, and we deem it incumbent upon them to foster the prwpoed undertaking, and do all in their power to insure for it a fuceessful issue. ' If our Kail Koad and wutor communication, now '.ending to the interior of the Mate, and offering but limited mean for the development of our resources, bring to this market mors products thnn arc required to supply the demand at home, and to till the present channel lor export to repletion, what may be expected when onr river improvements are complete when our Steamboat, 1 nil roads and Hank-road shall interseyt every portion of the Statebut, more purtio ularly, when the Central Railroad shall have takeu it giant strides through the State of Tennessee, and rest on the bank of the Mississippi 1 Our people have already, in a measure, anticipated the groat result which promise to flow from the source ; and by the beaver-like manner in which they have worked for the improvement of our outlet to the ocean, have caused tho Senate of the United States to pause in admiration of such indomitable perseverance ; ana, to second tho exortiom of our citizens for the perfection of luoh a great and import ant work, that august body ha extended a helping hand the arm of which, we trust, will be strengthened by tho House of Representatives, and made effectual by Kxeoutive favor. North Caro'ina hui yet but little credit for her shility to supply the want of a large portion of the world with provis ions, and to nil us work shoo with valuable vegetable ami mineral production, ready for the hand of tho chemist, manufacturer and artisan. Her roources aro yet but slight ly devclopc i ; but while it is dcetued the duty of her sons to nurture every plan calculated to exhibit her means, it is equally incumuvnt upon them to assist in overy enterprise which may have a teudonuy to open market for tho disposal and consumption of her products. Our State i now payiugiinmen c tribute to northern ports for the privilege of shipping her prod ace through thctu to various part of the world ; mid it behoove us, at the pres ent day, to look well Into this matter ; and see if we cannot, by a dua l trade, retain for our own benefit the large amount which is now drained from u by those who have so little im mediate intcrost in our welfare. Independent of a little direct commercial reciprocity with Kngland, our port has some trade, mostly in lumbir, with the W. 1. Islands! and for which wo receive valuable return but these promise soon to bo inadequate to our demands ; and some of them are so already. These ficts shew that the timo bas arrived when not only the people of Wilmington, but nil who ar'dpoitdrnt onhor for a market or an;outlotfor thoir productions. shnnM take a deep Interest in the exten sion ot her commerce ; imd with such immense resources to supply foreign demands s with a market already open for the consumption of more foreign merchandise ot some kinds thun we have facilities directly to obtain and with the prospect of a nnid increase ot home xunnlv and demand, it is annarent that the interests of alt are to be benefitted by extending aid to the establishment of Steam communication between the ports of Havana and Wilmington. Such an attempt tho first ever miulo from North Carolina may fail ; but your committee are of opinion, that it will not ; but, on the con trary, prove ot great ndvantnge to tho interests or tho State and to all who mar aid in the enterprise. In what follows it is proposed to introduce a statement of some tacts wbicb are deemed worthy of serious considera tion ; bat may be found to apply with much stronger force to those who will view the undertaking in no other than a remunerative point oi view, vvnue doing so, should our sister city of Charleston bo re for red to, your committee dis claim any intentional disparagement to her interests ; while. at the same time, should any comparison inclino to the favor of Wilmington, they claim tor it no more woigbt than that to which it is entitled by self-evident truth. The question may be rery readily and justly asked upon what grounds your committee propose to show, independent of any commercial advantages, a line of Steamer to Havana is to be made profitable to Stockholders 1 We answer that the Steamer now running between Havana and Charleston, P. ... R. ... . T 1 pays a) per cent, while all her fuel has to be brought from tne XNortn, at a great expense for that indispensable article Charleston has no coal fields within her immediate reach, while we have them in inexhaustible profusion the duality of which is inferior to none in the world and from whence supplies can be had, delivered here, for about one-half the price now paid for the article in Charleston. Independent of so great a saving in this item ot expenditure a steamer to this port would hare the advantages of fresh water, which are very important to all vessels, (especially Steamers,) ply ing to warm latitudes, a change irom sou 10 iresn water, as is well known, has a highly beneficial effect on the bot toms of vessels, in preventing their becoming foul ; and when the latter is used for generating steam, there is less incrusta tion, and consequently, greater durability. With these im portant points in our favor, if the Steamer to Charleston pays l) per cent, your committee are or opinion that one from Wilmington would pay at least 30 per cent.- Compared with any line North of us, (say from New York,) ours would be the more direct, and Quicker, and nheanAr which facts would bs appreciated for Mail transportation and travel. It would, also, be loss tempestuous and danzerous. as we are South of all the prominent Capes on the Coast, ex- cept mat oi r ionua i u in vue uoiu ui msuranoe me cnarga should be proportionably less. . Passengers to or from the Northern States would give a preference to this route, for the reason, that there would be a saving of at least eighteen Sours in time and I iu in traveling expenses, in our favor, between tbe lines from Charleston and this point. The dif ference in the sea routs from Havana to Charleston is 60 miles in their favor : bat, on the other band, there are 250 miles of Railroad avoided by this route, while the cassage by sea is only 60 miles farther, as before stated ; the distance i,3 :e b..::.3 i'- k.ett.i-tr ti w-t La tils uai ruj bat" rr :? ?'-i tLt -x g". t'.tiii.a I ; f- .rt 1 fr it pu? j.,e f a-certa. r.ii g wtat ais'mtt c-f E.iZj caa b r-1 tj It U et..aai4 ituU a m. title Sttitaer w.ll cut abut ftyi.OiJO !,) Umi aeasarcaeiit !') ton eapacity fjr freight drawicg U fcrt water with ulc:eat steam power te ak kr avenge I we tx;i pertawtta. ts4 Br t&e v t, jvr eoaaiittee woull recitxcaJ lor eo- tt-ratu-in, tbe fjr..wit!g resolution: It.

K.i plosion oiiil Los of Life. A new steam boiler, in the car factory of Fales 4; Gray, at Hartford, Conn., exploded on the 2d inst., destroying the bl.ickemith Bhop and engine room, and badly shattering the main braiding. Over 100 persons were in that part of the building. The explosion was terrific, wrenching tho powerful machinery, breaking the timbers, and prostrating the walls and roof. The workmen were buried beneath the ruin. The citizens were quickly on the spot to rescue the sufferers, nine ot whom were instantly killed, and seven have since died. Many others are badly injured, some of whom will die. The boiler was a new one of 50 horse power and built in the best manner. Over 300 persons were employed in the whole building, and those killed were chiefly employed in the blacksmith shop. " Our humble opinion is that the act of a prwlent proprietor muy sometimes conflict with the diibcs of ajaitijul agent, and ws think we have authori ty for saying, that the Public Lands are only held in trust by the General Government, for certain purpo ses mentioned, and ndt to be used to build up one portion of the Union ut the expense of the other!" Salem Frets. The above extract from the Salem Press will give the reader a correct idea of the style in which the whig presses discuss tho subject of the public lands. V'o have any quantity of declamation over the pro digality of the Government in wasting the pub'ie lanas any quantity or complaint (lor it really ap pears to bo nothing elso) at the pronDerity of the land Slates, who aro benefitted we admit by our land poucy any quaiuny or. protestation against tbe in justice ot building up the new States at tho expense of the old. Do kind . brethren of the whig press, give us a change do treat us to something like ar gument on the subject.' Show us how the granting of alternate section of the public lands in aid of railways penetrating tiem, and doubling the value of tne section reserved to the Uovernment, can operate to build up the new at the expense of the old States.- -It is vain to reply by pointing out immeso benefit conferrod by this yicm on the new States. It is vain to point to the magnificent results of the Illinois Central Railroad, and other simila; works. You on ly prove thereby that the system benefits tl.e new States. You do not show that it injures the old Stales. For it can be, and it has been, demonstrated that the system works io loss but a gain to the Gen eral Government. It, theretore, works ?io loss to the severeral States that Government represents, but is a benefit to them. Is it not a little strange that Millard Fillmore a man whom the whig party of North Carolina delight ed to honor never once vetoed a bill granting alter nate sections of the public lands in aid of railroads ? If Mr Fillmore had believed that this system was a prodigal wasting of the public property, and worked injustice to the old States, would he have signed all these bills'? Would not he, a citizen of one of the old States, have remonstrated in his annual messa ges to Congress against the injustice of tho system ? But though we find him recommending more than once a change in our tariff system and a return to the favorite whig scheme of a high protective tariff, he never once raised his voice against the land policy of the Government. Mareover, Jllr. Fillmore signed the identical bill granting public land in aid of the Il linois Central Railroad, against which we have heard so much whig declamation. Will some of our whig friends favor us with an explanation of this remark able fact North Carolinian. I. i ttfJK Lli:iii:v .have a POCK. I1IZ'. t.
