Peas.'- Proposed Rail road, from Point Cat. - well to Clinton. ' ' We were shownyesterday, by Capt R. P. Paddison, a neatly executed map, got ten up by Mr. Henry Colvin, County Sur veyor, of theroute-of the proposed Rail road from Point Caswell, in this coripty, ito Clinton, Sampson county. The length ; f the road will be about forty" miles and tbe important points on the route through wbkhUwill pass are Newkirk's Bridge, Harrers Store and Lisbon. The country wliich wifl be tributary to it is among the richest and most -productive in the State,, especially as regards turpentine and cotton, and the" proposed' road will consequent ly be the most direct route to Wilmington of a large amount of produce which now finds its way to other markets. Point Caswell is the head of navigation on Black Rive and is accessible to steamers at all times of the year, not being subject to the annoyance from low water experienced by the rboats running between this city and Fayetteville. There seems to be no doubt that the road will be built, as its importance is realized "rand the necessity for its construction 'felt and appreciated by those "most "deeply in terested, whoill thus be afforded facilities :.f or reaching the market of their choice which has hitherto been denied them to a ;great extent by the heavy cost of transpor tation.

The Solicitor offered to show this contradiction It was ob jected that the State could not - discredit its own witness. . The Solicitor asked for a recess to enable him to produce the authority for the exercise of this right on the part ' of the State to discredit its own witness,' which he said he would have ready. NIGHT SESSION'. : , ' At the opening of the night session Solici tor Cantwell read the authority to which he referred at the time of the adjournment (State t Norris, 1st Haywood, N. C. Re ports, Starkies' Evidence, &c) The pages we did not catch. Judge Russell stated very frankly tbat he had not supposed 'any such authority existed. The' decision of the t Court - in that case was in conflict with what he had supposed until this decision was produced the universal sentiment of the profession. : He thought it would not now be sustained by the Su preme Court. The proposed evidence was accordingly ruled" out Also all the declar ations of the deceased as to his treatment by Mrs. Carter. Any facts showing ill treatment were admissable. r Several wit nesses then testified to bruises, stripes and wounds caused byjwhipping upon the per son of the deceased just before his death, and the case there closed.
