WEEKLY PROGRESS. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JAN 13. 18G0. Increasing TfaJle. . Many years ago, .way back in the dim past, some of our citizen recollect a time when our wharves were piled up nvA blockaded with the merchandise and products of foreign conntries. Newborn bad a heavy trade and her people werethnfty and prosper ous- Biit this state of th ngs was not destined to last the State wan penetrated by the greatest of modern innovators, a railroad. Wilmington, an old dilapidated place, which was far behind New bern in material prosperity, was reached, and like gome fairy bower touched by a magio wand, sho sprang into newness of life; her people multiplied in numbers, in energy and in wealth, until now she stands almost unequalled for enterprise, and with all the other modern elements which belong to rising communities she is richly endowed: We envy her not her prosperity but we are unwilling to lag behind. Newbern, by this railroad, or rather at that time, 5 $ Rftrs ago) for the want of it, became thoroughly paralized her fereign trade ceased almost entirely, her business with the interior was cut off by opening np other ports and other markets, and for a period of tweuty long years she Knewnoiniug out one conunu ous night, But finally, a few of her brave sons, stili young in years but strong in will and filled with a patriotism which will shed a halo of light around their memory long after they shall sleep the sleep that knows no waking, sacredly resolved to lift the curtain of this impenetrable night by placing New born and her port in communication by Railroad with not only the interior of our own State, but in contact with -the great world from which she had been so long shut out. Their resolve was carried into execu tion as rapid.y as self-denial, hard labor and the cir cumstances which surrounded them would permit, nhd the citizens of Newborn and the people of the State, having already seen the good fruits of their labors, honor them for their noble work. As an evidence that our railroad is adding to our general prosperity and increasing our business at a most ranr,id rate, it is onlv necessary to state that thre vessels arrived here yeeterday from the "West Indies nil freighted with heavy cargoes of Molasses, Salt, Fruit. Sec. Sec. This trade we are confident will continue to increase, and may we not hope that at an early day Newbern may know a prosperity far surpassing anything in her lormer history. Should fee Attended te. Yeitcfdav & white woman i called at our ofSce and asked for a!o,- said ihe had nothing for herself or her children to eat and th at her husband was down in a helplesa condition. .We do not mention .this to make it serve as a text for & sermon, nor for the gratification of telling that we borrowed a quarter to help relieve her distress, bat for the purpose of saying to the christian men and women of Newbern that it is a burning shame that a white woman should be suffered to go through our streets from house to house, asking alms to keep herself and children from starving. She may be an importer for atight we know, but still we hear from good authority that there are cases of extreme destitution in thecorumu nity. Our people are proverbial for their liberality, never refuse to give or even murmur at befng called on to give when churches are to be built, repaired or lighted with gas; they are liberal too in their dona tions for home and foreign missions, and while we can but commend such devotion to good works, they will excuse us, we hope, if we tell them that they are a little careless and indifferent as to the condi tion of the destitute in their own community. Let then a little, just a little, of that zeal which they manifest in behalf of foreign missions be devoted to the discharge of a duty they owe to themselves and look to the condition of their own poor. The Bc.iufort Accident. Our readers will recollect our having' noticed, FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. The l'nnUrri for Humbug Forever. A thousand and one subterfuges will be re sorted to by the down esters to heal the indigna tion of the Southern people at recent outrages. We received on Monday night, from a friend in New York, two specimens of calico, manufactured at Lowell for the Spring trade. Neither of them will " make up " hall as well as our home manu factured goods, nor prove half as serviceable. On one of the specimens there is a figure of two hands clasped, surrounded by the words, "The Union Forever." This Is humbug number one and is a good catch, and one that will tell upon our South ern people when the merchants shall have receiv ed their Spring purchases. The other specimen lias a figure in the centre of which are the words, " The Constitution must be preserved." This is humbug number two ; and though the mannfac turers of these fabrics are nigger worshippers and freedom shriekers they will be enriched by un usually large sales during the present season to Southern dealers, who, when the Spring opens will divide it out to niggers and white folks at 10 cents a yard. Those unique specimens may be seen at our of fice. Nothing charged for examination. Vire la Lowell! Vive la Lowell white factory slaves J A New Paper. We received late yesterday evening the first number of "The Newbern En quirer," a new candidate for public favor just started in this place by J. II. Muse and A. D Tumbro. The Enquirer is about the size of the Weekly Progress, is neatly gotten up and is to be devoted to the advocacy of the claims of the democratic party. Mr. Tumbro we have known from boyhood, and like all others who know him, we esteem him. Of Mr. Muse we have had occa- ston to speak heretofore, and we have only now to add that a longer and more intimate acquaint ance has only tended to stregthen our approba tion of his many good qualities. We welcome them to the field and but express our honest sen timents when we express the wish that they may find it both pleasant and profitable. Not only as editors but as tellow craftsmen in the typographi cal art (we are all three practical printers) we ex tend to them a fraternal hand, and promise that if the good feelings which now exist between us should ever be disturbed it shall not be for any intentional wrong committed by us. The Enquirer is to bo served to subscribers at the following terms: If paid in advance $2; if delayed G months $2,50. and if deferred to the end of the year $3 will be charged , .

Dear Progtes f Alldw me, although late in the day, to wish you a happy lew year and to hope for the advancement of the Progress, and as the years rfdvanee and leave their trace behind them so may yon leave foot-prints upon the sands of time which will never be erased. There has been for the last two or three days an Abolition Convention here, and it was the awfullest, poorest thing yctl can imagine. All around the city was stuck up In big1 posters the following notice J Irrepressible Conjtici. An Anti-Slavery Conven tion will be held in tne St. James Hall, Buffalo, on Tuesday and Wednesday, January lf;th and 11th, afternoon and evening, at 2 and 7 o'clock.

It is the height of nonsense to talk one thing and prac tice another, to pass resolutions one day and for get them the next ; to prate about Southern inde pendence and at the same time showing by our actions our utter dependenceupon others for even the smallest of our every day necessities of life, the very same withal that can be produced cheap er and better at home.

We are glad to learn that the extensive Soap Manufactory establish in New bern ssme months ago by Dr. Omsbee is being very libei ally patronized.

The manufacturer assures us that he can supply the whole State and even adjoining States if need be. So send on your ordere. The Soap is sold at factory prices and only by wholesale. JIan Missing. We learn that Mr. Cullen Smith, living in the vicinity of Leachville, Beaufort county while under deliriums brought on by excessive drink left his home with his gun on the 12th instant, and though extensive search has been made for him he hai not been found up to yesterday morning.

We learn further, that the prompt action taken with Worth, Wheeler, Harris, Turner, and Vestal, has struck terror into the abolition incendiaries in that quarter. Standard. m Turpentine Lands. Almost every steamer from Charleston brings large numbers of negroes for the turpentine plantations on the lines of the various railroads in East Florida. The success ot the various gentlemen now engaged in this business, which we consider as almost certain, will induce many others to remove to this State during the next fall and winter. The turpentine region is extensive and healthy, the lands cheap, and the facilities for getting the manufactured ar ticle to market unrivalled. East Floridian.

From the Buffalo Daily Courier. Anti-Slavery Convention Yesterdnv Afternoon nni. . . . . a ue opening session 01 tins convention ot ultras did not transpire under very auspicious circumstances At two o'clock the time advertised for the of the conveution a miscellaneous sprinkling of peo ple pen aps twenty or thirty all told, had straggled into St. James Hall. The sole representative of the callers of the meeting whom we noticed present at this time, was the well-known Susan 13. Anthony who, with her habitual promptitude, was on the ground, looking intensely self-possessed, but withal rather anxious. Matters for fifteen or twenty min utes seemed of dubious promise ; no attempt was made to call the meeting to order nor. indeed, ex cept in the presence of a few colored brethren vho had strayed in, did there seem to be any show of the Buffalo anti-slavery sentiment whatever. Provi dentially, however, when things were at this disa greable point, Parker Pillsbury walked in, carrying a black traveling bag. Other arrivals followed, and by half past two, from eighty to a hundred persons were assembled. The meeting was then called to orrier by Mr. B. F. Felton, who nominated Mr. A. L txiirhn, President. Mr. Griffin accepted the post. V. M. Rice and Mrs. Lapham were appointed Vice Presidents : and after considerable trouble and sub stitution of names, Aaron M. Powell assumed the Secretary's desk. barker fillsbury then made a very long, very sow ana arawnngiy uttered speech, in which he expatiated at length on the encroachments of slavery and propounded with profuse explanation and com ment, the dedtteratumof the Convention a Person al Liberty Bill. Mr. P. is a swarthy man of middle height, with a high forehead and piercing black eye? rather untidy withal in personal appearance. He did not compliment the anti-slavery people of Buffa lo on either their strength or zeal, and gave rather a comical account of his adventures in attempting to trace them to what he called their subterranean retreat. We do not propose to report his speech which was marked by very much of outrageous exaggeration and not a little egotism He spoke, among other things, of the "apotheosis"' of John Brown, whom he called the " only hero " of the nineteenth century. He also instituted a comparison between the closing scene of the Harper' Ferry affair, and the crucifixion of our Savior, the good taste of which our readers can valuate as they please The Constitution of the United States he denominated a " solemn covenant with death," besides saying other far more spiteful things agauvt it, which we have forgotten. We do not, think Legree ever whipped a nigjrer with more of the genuine unction of hatred, than Mr. Pillsbury exhibited in an imaginary shot he took at the Virginia slaveholders. Miss Anthony next assumed the floor, and we understand roundly rated the press of this city either for the notices they had made of the convention, or their neglect to notice, we do not know which. Miss Anthony u per haps as much " right ' in her com position as-any colonel's detachment in the army. A speech from Aaron M. Powell closed the ses sion, and the convention adjourned till 7 o'clock- Evening- Session. This was .'preluded by a fiery little semi-public passage at arms between Mr Pills bury and Mr. Brittol of the Republic. Either curi-o-ity had been sufficiently sated 1 y the afternoon performance, or the second part of the programme was not deemed attractive enough for the money (ten cents) charged as admittance fee for not more than three or four dollars, on tho presumption too, that dead-heads were excluded, could have been the money value of ttte evening audience Only a slight variation occurred in the proceedings of the second session for whereas it was Pillsbury and Powell in the afternoon, Powell and Pillsbury had the floor till nearly ten o'clock at nitrjit. Without going into the merits of the anti-slavery argument, we are deliberate that in the character f this Convention and its orig inators ;-in the questionable policy to say the least of it, of calling an assembly together which can have do possible result but smoke and thA ineffectual indignation ; and above all in t.hft fd that tne monotonus harangues which are the etock of the occasion, whatever mar be their i;tAri-. nr or atorical merit, are largely spiced with open impiety ; in these considerations, we say, there is abundant reason why the Bnffalv pmblie may safely and legit- From Our Keporter. Swansboro', Onslow Co., N. C. January 13th, 1860. Dear Progress : I am here comfortably lodged in this ancient borough, hard by where the raging billows of the great Atlantic lash upon the beach, the sound of whose waters brings fresh to my mind the sad recollection of the four poor unfor tunate men, who recently fell victims to its rest less ambition, near the town of Beaufort, and too vividly reminds me that every wave of time that rolls by bears into the ocean of eternity some fellow being to whom life is as sweet as to me. While sitting here revolving this solemn thought in my mind, and listening to the soft toned melody of aMelodeon in an adjoining room discoursing heaven-born music, at the touch of delicate female fingers, accompanied with her still more melodious voice, I am truly in a proper train of thought to sympathise with the relatives and friends of the late Maj. Geo. J. Ward, of Jack sonville, who, though a few days ago was in good health, the solace and support of an interesing family, and the pride and boast of his village ind neighborhood, is now a lifeless corpse, and to morrow will, by the rites and ceremonies of the Masonic Fraternity of which he was a most worthy and honorable member, be placed beyond the reach of mortal vision, no more to greet the longing eyes of his numerous admirers until the sound of Gabriel's trump shall summon the world to assemble in the Grand Lodge above. From what I have seen of Swansboro', so far. I am very well pleased with it. I think it quite a pleasant little village, inhabited by citizens of pure North Caiolina hospitality. Swansboro', though not a commercial city, nor blessed with a Railroad, yet possesses many advantages that other towns in the State that make larger preten tions are strangers to, lying as it does on the margin of the sound, adjacent to the sea shore, has abundant facilities for an out-let by water navigation, and has almost within her borders inexhaustible supplies of fish and oysters. In addition to this, the sport enjoyed by its citizens, n forming sailing parties, and going over to the banks to spend a day, luxuriating upon broiled fish and terrapins, is a treat that a noor western loosier, buried far back in the ravines of the mountains of North Carolina, will never be able to appreciate. A party of the above description lave just returned from an excursion to the banks to-night. Tho beauty of these parties consists in keeping secrets that is, when they meet with an accident by suffering adverse winds to drive them in the wrong direction, or getting aground so that the male part of the crowd have to get out into the water and hitch themselves on to the boat and act the part of horses until the boat will float, or meet with any other difficulty that keeps them out late, they have a cunning way of swearing each other not to tell it. Now, don t understand me to insinuate that this party met with any such difficulty, for they were in early, that is just after supper, and I did not no tice that more than two or three of them had to change wet for dry clothing. Nothing is truer than that we lire and learn. I have often heard men try to explain the term drunkard, so as to tell when a man is drunk and when he is not; but never heard it fully explained until to-night. I met with an old man here, who it is true, was a little corned, but still who retain- j ed tho faculty of talking in a state of tolerable perfection, who understands it thoroughly. He says that a man may get drunk, and stay drunk two or three weeks at a time, and in the mean time, if he acts the gentleman and don't spunge on his neighbors, he is not a drunkard. But i he gets drunk pretty often, and when he is drunk spunges on his fellow drunkards and acts the d n rascal generally, then he may properly be said to be a drunkard, and not till then. I shall leave here to-morrow and go up oh never mind, I'll tell you where when I come home. O, by the way, if you see my friend Frank, of Snow Hill, tell him "Our Reporter" would like to invest about two dollars, that being about the size of his pile about now, if he will on ly tell him where to make it so as to paj best.
