The following tribute by the North Carolina Stan-lard to the energry and efficiency of the Pres idents of onr North Carolina Railroads is well de served While all have done well we knuio that Charles F. Fisher and John D." Whitford have sacrificed their individual interest,- their health, comfort, and been subjected to long separations from their families in prosecuting the labors that devolve upon them aa the heads of two of our great State works. And bow have these labors been requited? Why by many only wiih abuse, slanderous charges and libellous insinua tions. But the intelligence of the many will tri umph over the vindietiveness of the few, and the triumphant manner in which charges were met and the enthusiastic re-election of these gentle men last summer was not only a thorough vindi cation of their integrity, zeal and fitness for the phices which they occupy but it was a demonstra tion by the public in their favor which should, and which did for a while, put to shame their puny revilers. But we shall never have peace until Railroads and politics are separated. Mr. Fisher is abused because he is a democrat; Mr. Whitford has been persecuted and abused because he is not a demo crat. We copy the following from the last Stan d a rd : Charles F Fisher, Esq. The last Cvee- sborough Patriot, miiaitii) under old sores, spits turth unnt ier elu mi of vi-iiMii at Mr. Fisher. Tnat paper charges that the N. C. Road is "rented out" to Air. Fisher, nnd that, under this contract, Mr. Fisher is transpoit iron lor this Western Extension to the neglect f freight, &c. Now, no one will believe thi.s charge The Editor oft'ie Patriot hiinself doe-s not believe it. It is but a continuation of tUe unjust warfare wig d on Sir. Fisher, cijiij ly be aue tie is a deinoe.at, i d because the lto.id prospers in his hands. Mr. Fisher can well afford to disregard thee a -tacks. His labors, liis anxieties, liia sacrifices of ti i o nnd health for the successor tiie Road speak for hiu . T.io vipers are g.. awing a file. We have paid some attention to the management of the li iilio.ids in this State, ai'd we can con-'ciei -tiou.-dy say that an effort w uld be made in vain io obtain the services of men better qualified, or who would perforin their duties more ju iu iou-ly and sat isfactorily thsm Messrs. Fisher, Pearson, A. he. 'Wilder, and Whitford have pel formed theirs. No doubt tue Presidents of new lines are doii g and wil do as well as tiie.se gentlemen. We refr to the latter only because four of the Roads have bewii for some ti:ne in full operation, while the fiitu (the Western Extension) is already in use for some fifty or sixt miles. Our Kclt'gHtiou. Politicians North and South are not only v( ry much prone to speculate on matters connect- d with tiio next Pre.sidenc', but some of them are io the habit of stating, for facts, things which have no foundation whatever. A South Carolii a paper we see gravely asserts that the North Can -lina delegation are pledged to go fur Gen. Joe 1-ano at Charleston, aud some Northern paper has: asset ted thar our delegation has decided to go f. r Hunter. Now both of these assertions are false Our delegation have not had time to think about who is to be the nominee yet; the gteat and most vital of all questions to them is. now, what is to be the price of board at Charleston ? Can they get into a first class hotel at i&ii a day each or must they take garret accommol.Hiions at i$ 10 ? After the price ot rice and Fulton market beef (a they are lo be Kervtd at Charleston) is settled then oitMlelegation will bo prepared to considei less weighty matters. Our own impression is that our delegation will not go to Charleston pledged to any man. but that they will do what seemeth to them right aud proper hen the time comes to act. Auricultlka Addkk.ss. We are indebted to the courtesy of the publisher, Mr. Yates,- of the Charlotte Democrat, for a pamphlet copy of the Address of Hon. D. M. Barringer delivered before the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society, at Char lotte, in October last. The Address is an excel lent one as our readers can bear testimony, for we made lengthy extracts from it soon after it was delivered. Still There. The two famous corn doctors, Doctors Ealing and Murphy, are still holding forth at Charleston and will likely remain till after the Convention. No doubt but their skill will be required on sore heads as well as sore feet be tween the 2Uth and oOth of April. Takex Possession. The property at Mount "Vernon has passed into the hands of the Mount "Vernon Association who took possession of it on the I7th instant. As soon as a fund sufficient can be accumulated the necestary repairs will ha made. New OitDKll. A meeting has been called for Monday night next, at the Court House in Ral eigh, for the purpose of forming an Ad Valor-m club. This must be a new order. Wonder what ihe pass word is? Wouldn't wonder if that club should be the death of somebody. " W: B. H We publish a letter from Missis sippi to-day over the above initials. We shall be .clad to hear from the gentleman often.

I intrude my views or opinions upon any subject upon the pub lic, but have under all circumstances felt a desire to see the golden maxim observed, "Let justice be done though the Heavens may fall." In the last number of the "Enquirer," of this place. I see an article head e J " Murder in Chapel Hill." As to that portion of the. article which refers ex clusively to the homicide I have nothing to say, more than that from the particulars as given in the paper, I am at a loss to know by what pro cess of reasoning, the editors come to the conclu sion that it was murder. As it has not as. yet undergone a judicial inves tigation, they might at some future time bea party tola suit for libel. But what I wish to call to your attention are the remarks with reference to Chapel Hill, being: in themselves devoid both of justice and patriotism, and so far as my knowledge extends, and I think I know something of the history of the University, they are not in accord ance with the fact. In the first place he says, " we are pained to learn that another murder has been committed in Chapel Hill, another outrage ous deed added to the many." Now. Mr. Editor, the "Enquirer ' has not shown in the first place, that the present homicide was a murder, and in the next place ichen was the first murder commit ted there? I have never heard of the .outrage, and it is more than probable if the Editors will reflect, and ask themselves wh n it was? they will be unable to answer the question. "Another out rageous deed has been added to the many."' This, sir, is an aspersion upon the fair fame of the Uni versity, which she does not merit, and it is a mat ter of surprise that the intelligent Editors of the "Enquirer" should give vent to such uncharita ble' expressions. That all melancholiy affairs of this kind ar very much to be deplored no one will deny, but it is exceedingly ungenerous to say the least of it. to indulge in such exaggerating rem-trks as are to be found in that article. Instead of attemptirg to excite prejudice against the University, the in telligent and patriotic press of the State should arouse a feeling of interest and pride among the people at large in the growth and prosperity of this the very brightest jewel of which Carolina can boast. In its liberality and generosity to thrt poor young men of the State it has no superior in the Union, and in the learning and piety of its Professors it is second to none Among such a large number of students, coming from every por tion of the South, it is to be expected that there will be some difficulties, but on that account should any North Carolinian say that it is " bet ter that the institution should close its doors ?" The " Enquirer" says in substance that if they don't do better it " will advocate publicly a suspen sion of the University f North Carolina." Dam up the fountain because one ofsits branches runs irregularly ! Destroy the temple because a de vuteatthe shrine is unworthy I close in disgrace thosn halls consecrated by time, and rendered sacred by the memories of great men? Noble sentiment! Oh! Universitas vale! vale! Won der if the " Enquirer" will use all its influence to have the University suspended ? "AN ALUMNUS." Golosboko', March 28th 18C0. Dear Progress : If I possessed the wonderful verbosity of some letter-writers, or the astonish ing faculty ascribed to women (beg their pardon J of expressing themselves for hours about nothing at all, I should not be under the necessity ofapol ogizing for the unfrequency and brevity of my letters. I am not sure, h.iwever, that your read ers may not congratulate themselves over my destitution in this respect, for it may be that, as brevity is the spice of wir," so in regard to the matter of my letters, their brevity may be the "sp:ee" thereof. If so, I am content. Were I to say much more than I have already said in previous letters upon the 'anhjyct of the recent revival of religion in this comnrtinity, yon would be' induced to believe, no doubt, thnt we had become a very religious people. True the morals of a great many, including -ome who were previously members of the church, have been greatly improved ; still there are many who have not been reached by the gracious influence. A correspondent of the Wilson Ledger in its last is sue alludes to lawyers as a elass of men who are sehloai brought within the pale of the church, and suggests that a reason for their moral delinquency may be found in the fact that christ anity. in its teachings and practices, is "opposed to litiga tion ;'" and therefore, it is w isdom (in a wordiy sense, the only sense in which wisdom is under stood and exercised by unconverted persons) that the legal fraternity should not lend iheirinflueiice to propagate principles where general acceptance would preclude "t he necessity for their services." In confirmation of this opinion, I would only say that during the extensive revivals of religion which have pi availed here and elsewhere recent y, I have heard of but two lawyers who embrac religion and one of them has discarded the pro fession of the law and entered the ministry, and the other, I understand, contemplates deiug like wise. A very large concourse of people met at the river on last Sabbath afternoon to witness the baptism of a number of persons by the Methodist and Baptist Ministers. The occasion passed off tcry quietly with the exception of a rabbit chase now aud then by a pack of hounds and number less curs, assisted by two or three scores of boys and negroes, who would sweep around the skirts of the crowd in hot pursuit the . canines in full cry, and the bipeds with deafening yells Yours, &e., HORATIO. Brownsville, Miss., March 21, 1860. Editor PiuxiESS : Dear Sir : As I am so 'for tunate as to be a reader of your paper, and as it comes from my native State and the-town where I have spent many pleasaut days, and as I value if above any other, I have concluded to write a few lines in relation to Mississippi, if you think them worthy of a place in the Progress, you can publish, if not no harm done. . Brownsville is a small village supporting two dry goods stores that;sell about one hundred thousand dollars worth of goods yearly, one drug store that sells ten thousand dollars worth, and one family grocery doing;- good; business., ; We have two fine schools, a mala and female, with aboot forty Bta3en& eaehi tvo efcttrebea, Metbodiat and Baptist,, with a large membership. There is a great deal of wealth in this county. Lands very productive, and farmers energetic. There is heavy crops of cotton raised every year, and pros pects are very flattering for good crops the pre sent year. The community is generally very healthy. I have been living in Brownsville two years and there has been but one death, which took place yesterday, a man who says (or did say) he had not been sober two years in thirty five. But in case I might weary your patience and as I never wrote a line for publication before, I will stop and if you think my production worthy I will try and do better some other time. W. B. n. A New York lonrnnlitt in Nertli Carolina. We take the following extract from a letter from the senior editor of the New York Express, writ ten from haleigh. N. C, March , I860. The writer thinks us a primitive people: THINGS IX NORTH CAROLINA. The good Old North State is snch a staid State that it is a delight- to !Hk at a land and a people that have not ail run to seed like the poppy, and that has really some of the old stamina left. The isms have not reached here, nor the olovies. nor the ites They hang a man for murder, and they whip thieves and robbers, and put lesser rogues' in stocks and pillories, asr did our English Fore fathers, or as. did we. before we invented Peni tentiaries and Sing1 Sings to lock rogues up in. What is wonderful to say, nil men here, all of all parties.' while thry boast of their Lunatic Asylums, their Deaf and Dumb institutions, &c, boast not less, that, they have not a Penitentiary in the State! The rogues and rascals they tell us, quit them, that is, quit the State, after public exposure in the pillory and stocks. Even New York pick pockets shun the practice cf their profession in the Old North Stat, because no " gentlemen " like them would wish to have broadcloth thus soiled, in the face and eyes of everybody. These relics of antiquity, these stocks, the thirty-nine lashes laid on a thiefs back, they reason, one and all, are better invent! ns not only for the correc tion, but for the prevention of crime, than all the penitentiaries and prisons in all the other Staces. Are they right, or are we wrong? Have we " pro gressed" backwards, or do they need going ahead ? A PRIMITIVE STATE After a few days tarry in Raleigh, I have come to 'he conclusion that this is now the only really fresh, new, virgin State in the union. I mean not, that its soil is new or virgin or that it is fresh like California, or Minnesota, but I mean that it is novel, new, fresh, virgin, in its very antiquity. "Progress" has not got here ; that is, that Pro gress which turns things upside down and inside out, and that ploughs so deep as to turn all the loam under and all the sand over that loam. The politicians are not thieves or robbers as yet.. They do not enter into politics just now to make money ; but strange to say, aud this shows their virginity, for pleasure or for " glory " The loco motive is here, sputtering all aboul, and putting his nose into even the venerable and far-renowned mountain region of Buncombe, but the loco motive is not yet a politician. The State is not Gridironed New York city fashion. If twen ty North Carolina Senarors, slave-holding rascals as they are, were to do what twenty New York slaveholder-hating Senators did io a night and day session, all of them would go into the slocks or the pillory, and receive thirty-nine lashes in addition. so much "behind the ago" are these Patres Conscripti of liuncombo ! Every thing thus runs in this old-fashioned, primitive way. The people speak the English. all of them, that we in New England spoke in . our earlier days, as defined in old Perry's now abolished dic tionary, or as set forth, in. ..Webster's ABC spell ing book, where "the old man found the rude boy." &c, Sea. Stealing means stealing here yet ! And lieing, lieing ! Arobberisa robber, whet her dressed in broadcloth or rags! When a lady is " out," she is " out," not at the head of the stairs, listening to hear who rang the bell, or who knock ed at the door! Blessed people ! What a pity it is that, on the railroads will sooner or later come " the spirit of the age!" Kisisro The editress of the Weekly Herald (Thompson, Ga ) indulges herself in the follow ing provoking and tantalizing strain: "Well, we reckon some folks wouid really like to know what we thought ot. Let's see. In the first place, we thought what an absurd idea it is in a man to ask a lad to kiss him. just as if he the senseless be ing, thought the poor trembling little creature was going to do it. The idea ot a man asking for a thing so easily obtained ! Why, it is ridiculous ! and a man with the lenst particle of brains would hoot at the idea. She'd say no till doomsday And you, poor believer, would forego the happi ness of drawing nectar from that rose-bud mouih, simply because you were ignoramus enough to ask for what you might have taken. There are ten thousand ways to kis a girl w ithout asking the pleasure. Direct her attention to something on the table : ask for a book you know to be there, aud while she is there, go with the affected pur pose of helping her to look for it ; be particular to get at her left side- do you need any more telling? If you do, you do tint deserve the kiss that might be so gracefully taken. A man who would ask a kiss of a fair maiden -ought to be tarred and feath ered as a era ven -hearted monster Don't do it: don't, for goodness sake, ask the giils to kiss you. Kiss them if 3'ou want to, but do it like gentle men. Kiss th?m if you can."' A Lamentation for Ph:colomixi. The local editor of the Cleveland Herald is heart broke over the marriage of Piccoloiuiui. He says: Piccolomini has left public life, and we shall never see her any more. Nevermore see her bound gaily upon the stage. Nevermore see her jerk that darling little head of hers. Nevermore be"peltel with her kisses,'.' which didn't hurt much Nevermore sit entranced, betw itched and bedeviled before her. Nevermore drink in the melody, which gushed all silvery and sparkling and bell-like and (begging Mrs. Grundy's par don) cuss-like from her mouth Ryder (Jas ) has her photograph, aud that is some consolation. The chair in which she sat. at Weddell is being packed in down. The tumbler from which, she iai bibed several sherry coblers has been laid care fully away. The porter bottles she emptied while here are to be preserved. The man who fed her poodle is still in the city aud easy of access to gentlemen of wealth and influence. All this is good, but Piccolomini herself is gone. Sad, but j with our accustomed magnani iiiiy we adopt the language of stage fathers, and say : "Bless ye my children !" A house of ill fame was broken up in Ohio the othei day and the inmates were taken before a magistrate. Among the inmates the magistrate recognized his own daughter. Several years be fore while attending a female seminary in an Eas tern Suae, she ha 1 eloped with a worthless fel lo v, and her fathei had never heard of or seen her until that terrible morning. Deserted oy her husband she found her way to the West. The father, unknown to her. moved also to the West, and settled in the village where the arrest was made. Broken. Alas! little does the world know a broken heart is bidden nndr a cold and stern demeanor of the face, little- does it dream of the anguish that is stifled by the rigid lip of pride, or what feelings 1iesbnried bnrpainfrrtlyialive-forcv--er, in th hearts of those whom it looks at daily, as mounments of hard." unsympathixing selfish ness. " It i written; Eieryiheartknoweth its own bitterness," and that concealment' mrs been ordained by the same wisdom whfoh has givwD to 39 a kaowlsdo oitbafes. The Manufalttcre of Artificial Teeth. Over 3,000,000 artificial teeth are now manufac tured in this country. The Philadelphia Ledger thus describes the art of making them, which has arisen to the greatest degree of .perfection in that city : .- . . The first operation is the choosing of the mate rials. These are feldspar, silica and clay, all of which are found in gfreat abundance in various parts of the United States To these are added va rious metalic oxides' to produce any shade of color desired. The feldspar, clay, &c , are ground to ! an impalpable powder under water, dried and made into a pate " That com posing the body of the tooth i of different materials to that composing the base or enamel The teeth are made in brass moulds, and this is quite a delicate process. The enamel is flirt put in plae with a small steel spa tula ; the plamtnuni livets, by which the teeth are fastened to the plate, are placed in the posi tion, and then the body is pressed into the mould. They are then submitted to powerful pressure and dried.' After being dried they are submitted to a process called hiscuifing, in which stare they can be cut like chalk. They are then sent to the trimmers, who scrape off all projections, and fill up all depressions which may have been left in the operation of moulding, and then wash them with w hat is technically termed enamel. This is composed of various substances, more fusible than the tooth itself, and answers the glaze in common porcelain-making. It is ground to a fine powder, and suspended in water", and is laid on with a camel's hair brush. They are" now sent to the gammers, who apply the gum. This is chiefly composed of oxide of gold, and is applied in the same manner as tiio enamel. After beiug dried they are burned. This operation is carried on in a n ni file. The teeth are placed on a bed of crushed quartz which is placed on a slab of refractory clay. After being exposed to an intense heat for some hours, they are taken out, cooled, and assorted for sale.- each tooth is subjected to ten different processes. NEW JERSY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Resolutions were adopted by the Convention endorsing the Cincinnati platform and favoring non-intervention of Congress with slavery in the Territories. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE ! Rendition of the Fugitive to his Oicner-Grcat Ex citemtnt Carriage Suriounded Attempted Res cue. Etc Philadelphia, March 23. Judge Cadwalader rendered his decision to day. remanding tbe fu gitive slave Moses Horner, to the custody of his owwer, Charles T. Butler. Esq., of Virginia. Great exeitemettt prevailed in the vicinity of the Courthouse. On the announcement of Judge Cadwalader, a large crowd, composed principally of blocks, congregated, and on the fugitive's be ing conducted to the carriage, the vehicle was surrounded, and a desperate attempt made to res cue. The carrige was broken down in thy scuffle, and sundry eyes and noses bruised. The police interfered and arrested twelve of the prisoners, and then escorted the slave to prison. A writ of habeas corpus returnable to Judge Al lison to morrow morning, has been served on Marshal Yost. NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL UNION CON VENTION.
