The Month of May.
I-
The origin of the name of this month
is a matter of doubt, but among the Ro
mans it was sacred to Apollo I and almost
every day was a festival. On the 9th,
11th and 13th days was celebrated the
festival of the lemeria in memorV to the
dead, and consequently it . was believed
that marriages contracted in this- month
would soon result fatally, and in some
countries traces of this superstition still
exist From the ancient FloHUa, or fes.-

Onslow county, was called to order Dy air.
SJ P. Hand. on whose motion Df. b. a.
Satchwell was called tt the Chair, and

were made Secretaries.
Dr. Satchwelj, on taking the Chair, ex
plained the object of the meeting to be

county. He spoke ot the handsome rep-
resentation present from each of the Deigh
boring counties and especially oi . ine
mother county of New Hanover, of the
present distressing condition of j Pender
County, but of his, abiding faith in her fu
ture and the bright prospects which are
hers in view of the constructi.on of the
proposed railroad, and of the convict labor
which the, East had a right to demand
and exnect. To sav that we will not
build this railroad from Burgaw to Jack-

and he congratulated the jrood

for their success. He asserted ihat the two
objects are essentially connected ; that the
one could rot be fully carried on without
the other, for where youj find ignorance
there you will find no enterprising spirit.
He urged the nece-sity of the sacrificing
spirit necessary to carry on! this school , as
soon as the building can be erected, for
the house is only a beginning if, after you
have erected it there is no teacher. Mr.
Stallings spoke very emphatically of his
sanction of the railroad project and hoped
that it would succeed.

now, and whereas the constructing oi
new railroads, the digging of canals, and
the removal of obstructions from our
rivers so as to make them more navigable
are objects dear to the people
of these
eastern counties, towns and cities, in
coming together as we now do for! the
purpose of inaugural irig the much talked
of movement of building a railroad; from
this town to some fivorite point in Ons-
low county, we consider it wi.se and
proper to express our! hearty approval of
the proposed Angola C3nal, ot the pro-
posed Duplin canal, and ot the- proposed
national work of an inland water route or
ship canal along the coast of -North
Carolina. These judicious schemes ot
internal impiovement, and the proposed

are all in harmony, one with1 another,

Resolved, That we urge upon the peo
ple of Pender, Onslow, and other counties,
the importance of constructing as early as
practicable a railroad from Burgaw ( to
such a point in Onslow as may be here-
after agreed upon, and that we will unite
with others in j calling1 upon the next
Legislature for a suitable charter and for
such convict labor may bo necessary to
its construction. The East has freely

readily insist upon a sufficient number to
carry forward this and other proposed
works of internal improvement
in
the
eastern part of the State.
Resolved, That though tOae struggling
people of these eastern counties are . still
too much empoverisbed to build this pro-
pcijd road at once, yet we proclaim it to
be a judicious and much needed enter
prise, worthy of public support and State
aid. and that Tender and Onslow, identi
