O Hi^K It V E R.^ FAYETTEVILLE. .^II^UAY bVE.\l.\G, MARCH i, Gen. Dockery on the Standard.—The coniraunication on the preceding page, from Gen. Dockery, will arrest the attention of all readers. It exposes the motives of tlie Standard's attacks on him—(a deaire to make political capital for future campaigns in the West)—and the means by which the Western people were disappointed in their desires. The last Standard re affirms that “Gen. Dock ery is responsible for the defeat of Mr. Avery’s bill ” We are inclined to think that the Stan dard will eventually come to believe this to be 80, for it is said that men sometimes tell stories 80 often as finally to believe them true. It will take a great deal, however, to make even the Standard believe its own tale, that in a body of fifty men, ojie man is responaible for the action of the whole, and two-thirds of the fifty opposed to him at that. This morning we have received an additional communication from Gen. Dockery, noticing nn article in the Warrenton Xews; but it is impos sible to put it In type in time for to-day’s paper. It shall appear on Thursday. The Rev'. Dr, Hawks—We learn from the Raleigh Register that this eminent North Caro linian has consented to deliver an Address at Ox ford, on the *24th June next, on the occasion of the completion of St. John’s College. The fact gives us an opportunity to copy from a Uost.)n paper %n account of some Lectures recently de livered in New York by Dr. Hawks. This ac count is stated to have been written by a gentle man who stands in the first rank of American literati—one well known to fame as an author. The amount of mental labor which one man can undergo, and the extent of knowledge which one mind can compass, are strongly illustrated by Dr. Hawks. Amidst ministerial labors which are generally regarded as enough for any one man, he has seemed to devote all of man’s powers to historical research; and then again he is dis tinguished among the most eminent and working members of several Literary Societies; the author of books on various subjects; and here we find that he has been devoting years of study to American Ethnology—to the races of men who peopled this continent centuries before the Chris tian era. It is pleasant to connect the name and fume of such a man with North Carolina, and to know, as we have for years had opportunity to know, that his thoughts are ever turned to her, his de- aires ever for her honor and prosperity; and that, whether he writes and prints at his own cost a great scheme of internal imorovement for her, or the plan of a Polytechnic School for her—each in advance of the age of her Legislators—or whe ther be devotes years of labor and a large amount of means not over abundant, to the collection of materials for her History, that personal emolu ment has been the least of all t ie considerations weighing on his mind, and affection for her the main spring of all his labors. Our readers will see from this Boston letter iu what estimation he is held among strangers in New York. Correction.—B. F. Little, Esq., member of the House of Commons from Richmond county, calls our attention to an error in our reported proceedings of that House, in the Observer ot the 9th inst., in which a proposed amendment to the Deep River bill is attributed to him. The amendment was, “that no farther appropriation ever be made to said work.” He says that such an amendment was offered by some member and afterwards vvithdrawn; but that for him'cif he offered no amendment, but contented hiiuselt with voting against the main bill. We had occasion once before to correct a simi lar error of our regular Reporter, evidently grow ing out of a similarity of names. Battle of Moore’s Creek—The celebration on Friday last was largely attended by visiters from Cumberland, Jones, Lenoir, Duplin, Samp son, Bladen, Columbus, Brunswick and New Hanover Counties. The number is variously estimated. The Herald thinks about 2,500; others estimated it as low as 1,500, and as high as 4,000. The occasion is spoken of by the Herald al a very pleasant one, and the address by Joshua G. Wright, Esq., as “replete with historical information, beautiful imagery and pa triotic sentiments.” We have not room to-day for any large portion of the extended notice which the Herald com- From the Report of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road Company, Jan'y 1856, we find that this great coal road cost 819,004,IHO 19.

The road was worked for 40^ per cent, of the j gross receipts It transported, in 1855, 2,213,- 1 292 tons of coal, besides other freight, and pas- I sengers.

In the House of Representatives, the whole session of Wednesday, up to 6i o’clock, was de voted to the case of Mr. Gilbert, one of tho four members proposed to be expelled for corruption. The proceedings and debate were merely prelim inary to an open trial before the House, which Mr. Gilbert demanded (doubtless because t!iere is too little of the session remaining to bring it to a close.) e have been amused with the following ar- ! ^ struggle, occupying nearly all of an- ing it that distance was 54 cents and 38-100 of a cent per ton. Antbracite Coal.—A valuable deposite of anthracite coal has been discovered on the farm of A. W. Cozzens, about *25 miles from Peters burg, Va. A company was Ht once started in Petersburg to work the mine. They know the value of coal there. W tide from the Warreuton News; FM/yism.—There are some people whose facul ties are all retrospective; they are, or at least pretend to be, blind to all that is passing around them. They shuffle along with averted eyes, constantly whining after ‘-the light of other days ” With them the men of the present day are pigmies, and those of the past “giants” and with an air of profound gravity they utter jeremiads over the degeneracy of their contemporaries.

The parties were then separated with modern progress. Whether this arose from : supposed the affair will lead to a duel, an excess of \N higgery or a deficiency of common • rr • /. t r n • 1 • 1 sense, may be a mooted question. But no man ^his affair grew out of the following, which other day’s session, was made to get up the river and harbor bills, and particularly the bill to make a further appropriation for the improvement of the Cape Fear, below Wilmington. The object was to pass these or defeat the regular appropri ation bills, and to prevent the trial of the cor- I ruption cases; and the chief actor in the movement was Mr. Washburne of Illinois, (free soiler.) But the attempt was unsuccessful, for on Thurs day, the House, under the operation of the previous can deny that “internal improvement” was an un known word in the political vocabulary of North Carolina, until Democracy, like Jack the Giant ; Killer, extirpated the race of old-time giants, whose absence in the legislative halls our contem porary 80 pathetically deplores. “If these regret:ed “intellectual giants” had exhibited one-half of the public spirit of their successors in the Legislature, the grass would not now be growing in the once busy streets of a certain locality. But fogyism cannot see this, or would not see it if it could.” The allusion here is of course to an articlc in the Observer of the 19th ult., iu which the names of some of the great men who figured in the Legislatures in former years were mentioned, in comparison with the body of great men who recently spent some two or three months and fifty thousand dollars of the State’s money in Raleigh. It is certainly refreshing to see a paper printed in Warren county claiming for the democratic party all the hcnor of internal improvements in North Carolina—Warren county, in which un mitigated democracy abounds, in the proportion of about seven democrats to one whig. Will any body be kind enough to point to a vote ever given by a member of the Legislature from Warren county in favor of any measure of Internal Im provements? Or to any similar vote of any member from its equally democratic neighbors, Nash and Edgecombe? We puuse fora reply. Also, we would like to be informed what the Legislature of 1842—the Terrapin Legisla ture— which was decidedly deiuocratic, did tor internal improvemeul,'? And wLiat the late dem ocratic Legislature di 1? E'puciully what it did for the removal of the grass troin “the once busy streets of a certain locality”? If internal im provements had rem iiued .111 uuknowu word until democracy coined it, it would never have appeared in the vocabulary of North Caroliua. But let us see what party ruled North Caro lina during the years when, according to the we find in the Union’s report of the proceedings on Tuesday. Mr. S. said: I find in the Globe of this morn ing the following, as having been said in the midst of my remarks on the Kansas amendment: “Mr. Wright, of Tennessee, (in his seat, in a low tone of voice:) That’s a lie.” I wish now that the gentleman from Tennessee may say whatever he desires to .say with regard to that remark; whether he is or is not correctly reported, and whether he did use the language attributed to him. Mr. Wright, of Teunessee. Mr. Speaker, in using the language which I am reported to have used yesterday in regard to the statement made by the member from Ohio, I meant no disrespect to this House. I believed at the time and 1 now believe, that the statement made by that gentle man was untrue. I have no more to say. Mr. Sherman I have, under the circumstances, but little to say. This remark was made in so low a tone of voice that it was not and could not be heard iu this part of the House. Whether this was intentional or not is for the House to judge. Before I was informed of what was said, the member left the House. From what I could learn, I believed it was the language of black guardism, induced by excitement and intoxica tion. I The Speaker. The Chair is of the opinion that the gentleman is not in order. Mr. Sherman. I supposed it was only necessa ry to call the attention of the member (with whom my relations heretofore, though not inti mate, had oeen kindly) to the remark 1 have read to call forth from him a manly retraction. I do not tliink he has stated enough for that purpose. Mr, Wright, of Tennessee. I cannot, of course, be expected to bandy epithets with the gentle- m in from Ohio until he relieves himselt from ■ the imputations already cast upon him. That’s I all I have to say. I After the tight, the House resumed the Gilbert trial. Washington, Feb. 27.

C., on the first day of April next, to take into consideration the building of the Road. We have no doubt but that this Road will be built, and will prove a benefit to the State and more particulary to this part of the State. Asheboro' Bulletin. Legislative Bulls.—Other Legislatures be sides our own occasionally make ludicrous mis takes. A Virginia lawyer once taunted a Penn sylvania Judge with an expression in an Act of the Pennsylvania Legislature, “that the State- house yard should be surrounded by a brick wall, and remain an open enclosure for ever.” The Pennsylvanian rather got the better of the F. F. V., by referring him to a Virginia Act, entitled “A supplement to an act to amend an act, making it penal to alter the mark of an unmarked Hog”: Mexico.—A paper published in the city of Mexico admits that a treaty has been negotiated between the United States and Mexico, but de nies that any land is ceded by it.

Cook, (a new company,) from Fayetteville, arrived here in the Magnolia. They made a handsome appearance, and paraded our streets till a late hour in the night—each man carrying his own light, which was a lamp co vered over with tissue paper, inserted in a piece of round wood just large enough to fit the muzzle of the-musket. It had a very imposing efiFect. They are a tine looking body of men, numbering about thirty in all, and came down for the pur pose of participating in the celebration. They went through the military lactics with a preci sion and uniformity that elicited the admiration of all who witnessed them. Previous to their embarkation on the steamer Maguolia in the morning, they favored us with more of their military evolutions, to the great satisfaction of those present. They embarked about eight o’cl’k for their place of destination. Fayetteville may feel proud of such a company.” Man Drowned.—A valuable man uamed Hil- his party.

It is only within the last five or six years that a democrat could be found who did not charge the system upon the Whigs as a reproach. It is very certain that all democrats, either young or old, do not concur with the Warreuton News in its estimate of the character of the late democratic Legislature; for not only do young and old speak of it as a body with contempt, but the venerable gentleman whose opinion led to our comparative view, is himself a democrat. But then he has mind enough to form a sensible opinion on that or any other subject. We have never said, nor thought, that “the men of the present day are pigmies.” In the very article on which the News comments, we said directly the reverse. But it suits the hontst purposes of democracy, as represented by »his one of its organs, to attribute such a sentiment to us, whilst taking care to suppress what we did say.

It only suits democracy, aa represented by the War- renton News, falsely to assert that we are so. Gilbert having resigned, and being no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the House, the re.so- lutions declaring his guilt and to expel him, were laid on the table, on motion of Mr. Orr, 135 to 08, The House next took up the Matteson case, and a letter was read from him, stating that he had resigned. A motion to lay his case on the table was rejected, 108 to 83. The two resolutions affirming his guilt were then adopted, 145 to 17. And the third, to expel him, was laid on the table. Mr. Welch of Conn. was then brought up, and after debate it was resolved that the evidence was not sufficient to convict him, and so he goes free. CtiAR-ACTER OF CoNOREss.—In a speech in the House some weeks ago Mr. Quitman said, without intending any personal disrespect, that, the House of Representatives, constituted as it is, is one of the last tribunals to which questions of public morals or private honor should be referied. Such is the character of the House as drawn by one of its leading members who may be sup posed to know what he says. Mr. Buchanan was to leave his residence this morning, and arrive in Washington this evening. The losaguration will take place on Wednesday.
