Messri. Editors:—I am surprised to learn from a late number of the Observer, that the Legisla ture of North Carolina has adjourned (for two years!) without doing anything to developc the Miiienil resources of the State. For I know of no measures that can be taken which would fjo quickly and surely give importance and jinav- dal cri’dit to the State—as proving to th3 world that you have, aciessibfe, an inexhaustible quan tity of excellent Coai and Iron, in juxta-pusition. These, it is well known, are the elements of the prosperity and wealth of England. I live within a few miles of Rondout, the great shipping Port of two powerful Coal Com panies, and as I have an investment in the busi ness, it occurs to me that it may be a seasonable encouragement to those persons who are strug gling, without the aid of the State, to build the Rail Road from Fayetteville to the Coal Fields, to assure them of the large profits derived from Coal Mining here. I send herewith the Report of the Managers of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, by which you will see that the profit last year was I** per cent. There is not a stock sold in Wall Street which is more desirable for income and ^trtnaiKut investment.

The Superintendent, Mr. McClane, had left for the North on the day previous. The accident occurred in the night shift—not the one which Mr. Dunn has charge of. The six men had just descended th«' shaft, and The Corrlption Cases.—It is to be hoped that the House of Representatives did its duty yesterday, near us it is to the end of this Con gress. by expelling the four men whose foul cor ruption has been established. It is doubtless true that these four are not the only guilty ones, but they are all that have been found out. Let them be kicked out of Congress, as a warning to all others, so that if possible the system of buying votes may be arrested. An attempt was made to screen them, even be fore the Committee had presented its reports All sorts of objections were made by Messrs. Bennett and Grow, two of the leaders of their party, who contended that the committee had exceeded its anything about it, that he did not regard the let ter as containing anything that was improper, that there was nothing indecorous in it. This letter was written in July. Some days after this, Matteson met the Hon. Reverdy John son, who had long been counsel for the Iowa com pany, and inquired where John.‘«on, the President, was? Reverdy Johnson replied, that he bad left the city. Matteson expressed ver^ great surprise at this (which his letter shows he had known be fore,) “and said that he must come back; that he was sorry to tell witness, but so was the fact, that there were from twenty to thirty members of the House, who had a-’.soci'itcd themselves to gether, and pledged each to the other not to vote for any law, or resolution, granting money or powers, and that the accused had been tried with- j unless they were paid Jor it " Witness out an opportunity of defending themselves But I told him he could hardly believe it Thinks the this was instantly disproved.

Y. Times, (Si- monton,) on whose statements the investigation was originally proposed, testified that he person ally aided in the passage of tbe Wisconsin land bill, under a promise of receiving a certain com pensation if the bill passed; but he “has no legal claim for such service, and has not received the fruit of any such interest.” He also aided an old friend of his in passing a private bill through the Senate, for which service he acccpted a small com pensation. He also swore that two members of Congress had directly, and others indirectly, re quested him to procure for them interests in par- bill. Spoke this to witness in confidence. He knew that the witness was counsel for the com pany at the time of the conversation.” The conviction of the committee is, that .Mat teson lied in regard to the “20 or 30 members,” and that he himself wanted the fingering of the 8100,000. It was also proved that Stryker, an oflBcer of the company, had placed a check in the hands of Horace Greely, to be used only in ca-se the bill passed the House, (being all that the coinmittee could find out of what “Stryker had arranged.”) This 81000 check was used, and was paid by the company in October last.

There is no Country in which a Rail Road can be more cheaply constructed than through the Pine plains of X. Carolina, where there are no rocks to be encountered in tbe operations, and where the tinxber is literally upon the track, for Rails and iar piling across streams and low spaces. The Coal of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company is discharged from the rail road cars, along wire screens, into the Canal Barges, and the dust and small coal are separated, and the latter Mild for certain purposes; which plan may be adopted at Fayetteville. I am too distant to understand why the people t Wilmington do not co-operate with you—for i it seems to me, that if the interests of the two places arc not in this case identical, they are far tijiire so than in any other feasible mode of reach- ^ ing the Coal .Mines. But I am amazed, after the experience of the relative advantages of Rail Roads and Canals and Rivers, that money should have been thrown awuy in icooden Locks in the C F. River, where 'iroughts and freshets alternate and hasten the of the works—too great at all times in that climate. The money invested in the Canal of the Dela ware and Hudson Coal (’ompany is now deemed an unwise expenditure, and it is regretted that the Rail Road was not extended to the Hudson at once. A NORTH CAROLINIAN. Well may intelligent men who live in any 'ther part of the country stand amazed at the Legislature of North Carolina leaving our mine ral re.sources buried for another two years. There .'Urely cannot be another Legislative body in the I nion that would have acted so stupidly. * )ur Legislature has done so, however, and the ijuestion now is, shall Fayetteville be equally 'tupid? Or shall she acquire honor and pros perity for herself by doing the work without 'tate aid? Let the above letter answer the question. From the pamphlet sent us by ‘"A North Ca- rnliiiian,” and from other authentic sources now i ' foro us, we find that the company owns, start ing from Carbondalc, 15i miles of rail road and l.t'| miles of canal, which bring them to Rond- lut, on the Hudson, 85^ miles by that river to .N -w York city. The 15i miles of rail road has 14 inclined plunes, (with a stationary engine at each,) which 'Vcrcome an elevation of 2,123 feet. A moun tain of 900 to 1000 feet high, separating the I' 111 region from the drainage towards the sea- h ard, has rendered this enormous ascending grufle necessary. And the canal has a lockage ary compensation. , , „ . . , • i i , * ter, several fair engravings, and is onered to the t He would not give the names of these mem- ^ o ■ , , , , ■ ir i Southern public at 82 per annum.

It would seem to be decidedly for the interest of distillers every where to take more care in putting up spirits turpentine; none but the best seasoned white oak barrels should be used, and they ought, to be glued carefully with good glue. Were this attended to, the demand for the article would be vastly improved, and a great part of the loss now sustained by the leakage of barrels would be saved.” Robeson County Court.—At the Term of the Court, this week, it was resolved with but one dissenting voice, to restore Jury trials to that Court, in accordance with the act of the late Legislature.
