Debate on the Coalfields Koad Bill.— It is with any thing but pleasure that we publish the Standard’s sketch of the debate in the Senate, propositions to amend, &c., which preceded the rejection of the Railroad bill on Tuesday last. There appears to us to be Buch a sad want of ap preciation of the magnitude of the interests in volved, and such an effort to deprive the bill of vitality and usefulness, as greatly surprises and mortifies us. Looking upon the work as of more importance to the prosperity of North Carolina than any which has ever been undertaken, with or without State aid; looking to the amount which this community has actually expended on it; l(X)k- ing to the taxation which this community has voluntarily imposed upon itself to aid other works in other sections of the State, some of them even impairing our own trade and prosperity; looking to the requirement of a mortgage of the whole property of the company to secure the debt; to the further requirement of individual security for the interest; and to the crowning stipulation that the interest shall not be paid out of any funds raised by means of this bill;—looking at all these things, we do confess to a feeling of deep mortification. If the bill should be rejected, of course the Legislature will repeal the resolutions (passed un animously)- calling upon Congress to establish Workshops and Foundries in the Deep river region. A call upon Congress to spend millions there would be utterly inconsistent with a refusal to lend $400,000, upon a security of $800,000, to open a way for Congress to get there. The New Tax Bill.—We have received a copy of the new Revenue bill, introduced by Mr. Fries, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the House of Commons. It consists of 115 Sections, and goes over the whole ground, being intended as a substitute for the existing law. A hasty glance shows the following changes (there are probably others) from the old law. A re-assessment of value of real estate u to be made this year and every four years thereafter; with proper provisions for securing a fair cash valuation. Provision is made for re-valuation in ease of increase or decrease in value. The real estate tax is fixed at 20 cents, instead of 15, on the 8100. The poll tax at 80 cents, in stead of 50 cents. Turnpikes, toll bridges and gates across high ways, SI5 each. Ferries, 1 per cent, of receipts. Note shavers, a tax of h per cent on all their purchases, besides the tax of 4 per cent, on inte rest received. Negro traders, i per cent, instead of i, on pur chases. Gold and silver plate, 1 per cent., instead of H. Silver watches, 50 cents each, instead of 30. Dentists, physicians, lawyers, &c., commission merchants, factors, produce brokers, auctioneers, officers, and employees of all kinds, who receive 8500 a year, are taxed 1 per cent. Distillera of spiritous liquors, 3 cents on every gallon made. 6 cents on every gallon or bottle of spirits, wine, •See., brought into the State, whether for sale or u.se. [This is in lieu of the liquor tax of 5 pr. ct.] The merchant tax is raised from J to ^ of 1 pr cent. Articles received in brirter exempted, (but no express exemption of purchases of produce.; Ready made clothing lA instead of 1 per cent. Patent medicines 10 per cent, instead of 38i. Peddlers S40 instead of SlOO in each county. For an act of incorporation 825. The Bank tax is fixed at i per cent, if the div idends are 6 and not over 7 per cent.; J if divi dends are not over 8 per cent.; and 1 per cent, if over 8 per cent. The various other objects of taxation remain unchanged. Sheriffs are required to give separate receipts for State and County taxes. Business before the Legislature.—Lean nf the Xorth Carolina Railroad.—Memorial of Ephraim Alauney, a stockholder in the Road, pro posing to lease the Road for 5 years, to give 6120,- UUO per annum for its use, payable semi-annually. 11 f desires the Legislature to authorise the Directors to make such a contract with him, unless they can make one more favorable, since there is no pros pect of better management and, consequently, none of profit. He will bind himself that the rates of freight shall not be increased, but dimin ished, and that he will surrender the road and rolling stock, at the end of the term, in as good condition as he receives It; the rolling stock and other personal effects to be valued by competent persons whep he receives it, and the condition of the road to be examined also by competent per sons, at the begining and end of the term, and if the rolling stock shall be worth less, or the road way in worse condition at the end of the term, than at the time he receives it, he will pay the difference, or if worth more, or in better condition, he will claim compensation for such increase of val ue. He will give bond in such penalty as the Legislature may prescribe, securities to be ap- prciTed by the Governor and board of Internal linj»ro\ «ment, for the performance of his contract. lie is satisfied, he says, that he can make profit, save the people 8100,000 per annum of taxation, pay a small dividend to stockholders, and give the public more than the present benefits from the road. Mr. Mauney's ability to comply with his pro posal is certified by Messrs. M. L. Hoi mes and J. Holmes, citizens of Gold Hill, Rowan County, The matter haa b«eQ rafarrad, but kaa not yat reported on. GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF N. CAROLINA. Condensed from Saturday’s Standard. Our Reporter’s letter in the last Observer gave a sketch of the proceedings on and the result of the motion to reconsider the Senate vote rejecting the Coal Fields Bill; but the following will be read with interest as a sequel to the debate in the preceding page: Mr. Miller moved to reconsider the vote. His object was to gain information, as be would like to vote for the bill if po.ssible. Mr. Cowper opj.^sel .he reconsideration. Mr. Bledsoe thought the intereata of the State justified the passage rf the bill. He had been authorized by gentle:rion of character and stand ing to state that if tbo ;n!l should pa.ss, they will authorize a survey to b.- made for a branch to con nect with the N. C. roau, and build the connect ion by private subscriptions. Mr. Douthitt had promised to vote for the re consideration, but after the remarks of the Sen ator from Wake, would be bound to vote against it, a.s it was the intention to make a connection at or near Raleigh. lie was in favor of a bill to reach the coalfields from Fayetteville, and was op- po.sed to all the amendments. Mr. Kdney concurred w^ith Mr. Douthitt on the bare charter without the amendments. Mr. Bled.soe had made the statement as an in- dueemejit to go for reconsideration. He did not approve of the amendments; but he desired to ■show that the connection could be made by pri vate subscriptions, and had no idea of engrafting anything on to the charter. Mr. McDonald said a bare charter to the coal fields wa.s all the company needed, and that if they desired to go farther they had not means. Mr. Douthitt was impelled by a sense of duty to his constituents; and he gave notice that if the vote was reconsidered he should move to strike out the amendment of Mr. Ashe, (forbidding cros.sing the N. C. Road. Mr. Thomas a.sked Mr. Douthitt if he would vote tor the bill in the event of Mr. Ashe’s amend ment being stricken out. Mr. Douthitt could not. Mr. Cowper thought that if the coal deposits were as rich as represented, there would be no difficulty in getting individuals to build the road without State aid. Mr. Cherry was in favor of the reconsideration; there were sufficient inducements to justify the passage of the bill. The vote to reconsider resulted, aye 27, no 13, as follows: Aye.—Messrs. Ashe, Bledsoe, Boyd, Brown, Cherry, Davis, Dobson, Edney, Gilmore, Gorrell, Houston, Leach, McDonald, 3IcDowelI, McKoy, Miller, Mills, Pitchford, Ramsay, Reinhardt, Straughn, Steele, Ttom&s, Turner, Walkup, Ward and Worth—27. -No.—Messrs. Battle, Cowper, Cuuingham, Donnell, Douthitt, Guyther, Humphrey, Lane, Lankford, Martin, Pool, Speight and W'hitaker —13. Mr. Bledsoe moved to postpone the further consideration of the bill, and that it be made the special order for Wednesday next. Adopted. On Thursday, Mr. Straughn introduced a bill for the protection of the Slate’s interest in the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company, or for the surrender of the said interest. and the friends of the Fayetteville and Coal Fields Road. Mr. Settle immediately demanded whether the gentleman intended to insinuate he was a party to any such business. Mr. Norwood said, j no. Mr. McKay, as the representative of the i Coal Fields Road in the House, said such rumors j were false, that he had heard them and was al- i ways able to trace them to the same source. Mr. I 3Iorehead said he knew of no such coalition. As for j rumors any one could stir up a million such at this time. If the Coal Fields road had to fall for the Danville Connection, he would say by all means desert the Connection. He would rather .see the Coal Fields Road pass than any measure before the Legislature, lie was always willing to sacri fice himself for the interests of North Carolina. Mr. Norwood then continued his speech. The bill was rejected by yea.s 37, nays 65. Vkas—Messrs.

Mr. Fries, a bill to incorj)orate the Salem Mutual Insurance Company, also, by .sam'>, a bill to change time of holding County Courts of Forsythe. The Fayetteville and Coal Fields Road came up for its 2d reading but Mr. McKay wished it passed over until the fate of the bill WaS known in the Senate. Agreed to. A hill to incorporate the Beaufort and Coal Field Roads was on motiun of Mr. Foy re committed. Petty measure? were discussed until adjournment. In the Senate one or two privatu bills were passed on and the rest of their time was occupied in explanation; upon last .Saturday'u proceedings. Col. J. W’. Al.ipaugh, of Winstou, was to-day electud Assistant Clerk of the Seuate in place of Q. Busbee, re signed. I learn that there is some talk of introducing a bill to repeal the act establishing the couity of Harnett, which still is giving the Legislature much trouble. The Council of State met in this city to-day: Present Jno. A. Averitt, J. T. Cranberry, J. L. Bridgers, P. .M. Powell, J. A. Waugh, and W. J. Yates. James Fulton of \Mlmington and H. M.

Mr. Blcd.soe’s bill for ad valorem taxation (^with an amendment pending providing for a Conven tion to revi.se the Constitution, offered by Mr. Gor rell,) was made the special order for Tuesday. The Western Exten-sion bill (to do away with the section clause in the charter) was debated by M e.ssrs. Edney and Thomas in favor and Mr. Leach against. Mr. T urner and otht d‘scu.ssed the scene in the Senate on Saturday 'Mr. Turner denoun cing the journals, the udard, and the Stand ard's reporter, for grossly misrepresenting him. On Friday, the di.scussion of the bill to modify the restrictions in the charter of the Western North Carolina Railroad was continued. Speeches by Messrs. Thomas, Edney, Cherry, Ramsay and Leach. In the Commons, on "Wt dnesday, the Danville Road occupied the day, as reported in our last. On Thursday, Mr. Dancy reported a resolution granting the North Carolina Afrricultural Asso ciation $2500 per annum—an annual increase of SIOOO. The discussion of the Danville Connection wtus continued by Me.s.srs. Norwood, Bridgers and Ward far le.ss cost per ton than that which will go to Wilmington by the “barge Pioneer.” The Herald has no ri»ht to call the Observer 1 . j “the worst enemy in the world of the scheme;” j though if it were, it would be justified by th« be- I nevolent motives of some of the projectors of the I scheme, viz: to obliterate Fayetteville Irom the { map. The pretext for so speaking of us is a state- j ment in the Observer which the Herald does not pretend to question. And that statement we made to give the truth as to certain news items which we felt, bound to copy from thw Wilmington pa pers. Are we the worst enemies of the .scheme because we tell the truth about it? We never oppo.-ed the scheme: our members voted for all the appropriations it ever had, and with our full and often expressed approval. We are opposed to humbuggery, such as that now ut tered by the Herald about “the success of the great scheme for the development of the vast min eral resources of North Carolina.” The idea that the arrival of one old boat, (newly christened a “barge,”) after a fifty days’ trip, with repairs to be made at nearly every lock before she could gt't through, is a ‘‘.success of the great scheme,” would be laughable if it wore not worse, (ro to work like men: a.sk the Legi.slature for a million of dol lars: add your own money to that: put in locks and dams that vill “support their own weight,” and against, and Messrs.

It is proposed to build the road from the Coal Fields to the N. C. Road. We supp»ose from the vote that no appropriation is asked. A bill to amend the charter of the W’ilmington i & Manchester Road passed 2d reading. W'e have not seen the bill, but infer from the proceedings that it allows an issue of preferred stock, of 8 per cent, bonds, and a sale of its stock in the W. & W. Railroad, in order to pay off debts. On Friday, the Danville Connection discussion was continued. JLatest.—From our Reporter. Raleigh, Jan. 15. The House to-day had again under considera tion the Danville Connection. The debate has been going on throughout the whole week, to the almost entire exclusion of other business. Every one speaks of it as the ablest that has for years occurred in our Legislature, and it is the very general opinion that the Connection men have had the best of it ITiey have triumphed so far. The opposition have lost much by making personal at tacks upon Gov. Morehead. These things roused the old lion in all the fire of 1840, and such a scathing as Granville, Franklin, Edgecombe and W’^ayne got from his hands has not been heard this session. He reviewed the whole history of the North Carolina Railroad, and clearly vindicated himself from their many attack?. His speech was eloquent, argumentative and sarcastic; friends and enemies all say that it was of the first quality and stamped him as the first man in the House of Com mons. I should like to give you a more extended sketch of his remarks but your space will not al low it. Mr. Norwood followed him. He rose to make an explanation but said as he was on the floor he would express his views about the Danville Con nection. His was the best argument which has been made against the bill. In the course of his speech he said that there vraa a rtunor of a owitioo between Uie Danville Connection men N.

In the Senate, on Wednesday, the debate on the Pacific Railroad was continued, and a number of speeches were made. On Thursday, Mr. Simmons offered a resolution asking the Secretary of the Treasury to report a plan to the Senate for raising a revenue to meet the ordinary expenses of the government by introducing specific instead of ad valorem du ties in the tariff, in accordance with the recom mendation of the President in his annual mes sage, and to furnish certain statistics connected with the tarriff. Laid over. On Friday a communication was received from the P. M. General recommending an increa.se of the rates of postage; he wishes to fall back to the rates fixed in 1845. 'The Pacific Railroad Bill was discussed without decision. A vote to lay on the table was nega tived, yo to 27, and this perhaps is in some sort a test. The Senate adjourned to Monday. In the House of REPRESENTATivEa, on Wed nesday, several speeches were made for and against the President’s Message. On Thursday, nothing of interest occurred. On Friday, nothing of interest. The Ma.mmotu Pension Bill.—The Wa.sh- ington “States” supposes that the bill to grant a j)ension to the officers and .soldiers of the war of 1812, and of the Indian wars of that period, which has passed the House of Representatives, will be allowed to sleep quietly in the Senate, under the pretext of want of time to pass it. It is to be re gretted that members in either House lack inde pendence to meet the measure fairly. The House passed it most reluctantly, fearing the popular in dignation if they had rejected it, though it is well known that the treasury is in no condition to give a way twenty millions of dollars a year for a new object. Much better pay the honest debts of the country, such as the French spoliation debts. This fear to do what is right is a growing evil, in the National and State Legislatures. It arises mainly from sending weak and unfit men to Con gress and the Legislatures. A Legislator should be a man, and not a mere servile sycophantic tool- CiKCUMSTANCES ALTER Cases.—The South ern press was furious a few mouths ago because Giddings of Ohio, as was untruly alleged, con gratulated Mr. Gilmer of this State after a speech on Kamsaa affairs. A few days ago an incident of similar character occ irred in the Senate, but so far from creating any excitement or surprise it is only chronicled, so far as we have seen, in a Wa.sh- ington letter to the New Y’ork Commercial. The writer says “that Mr. Seward held a seat before Mr. Iverson, while the latter delivered his disu nion speech,and when he closed, took him cordially by the hand, and congratulated him upon his eloquent effort; whereupon the two agitators afore said laughed incontinently at the pranks they were playing.” Mr. Iverson is a Southern Demo crat. Mr. Gilmer is not a Democrat. Mr. Iver son, therefore, is all right, and Mr. Gilmer all wron*;. :%OTlCE.
