FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 18, I8G0. Proposed Change of Schedule. . Application has been made for a change of the schedule of the A. & N. C. Rail Road Company. By this proposed change the Northern mail will reach Newbern five hours earlier instead of 19 hours later, as thought by the Progress The Western and Southern mails by this proposed change would gain several hours each. The local travel will be benefitted, as a person can go from here in the morinnfT, at 10, attend to Bank or other business at Newbern, and return at night We believe it would be more agreeable to our Western friends to go through at once, in their trips to Newbern, More head City, Beaufort, &c, instead of laying over 6 hours in Goldsboro'. We are in favor of the change, with the lights before us. Golds. Tribune It is to be regretted that the " lights before our venerable and respected friend on this occa sion are so dim. The two principal lights upon which he relies we can knock into a cocked hat in a dozen words. He says: " The local travel would be benefitted, as a person can go from here in the morning at 10, attend to Bank or oth er business at Newbern, and return at night.'' Here our friend makes a grave mistake. The passenger would arrive at the depot at Newbern at J o'clock tbe Newbern Banks all close .at that hour to a minute ; so that no bank business could be done until the next day at 9 o'clock. It is folly to suppose that the officers of our banks will attempt to change their hours of business so as to conform to the changes of a Railroad Direc tory who seem to be experimenting for their own amusement. So this is a complete extinguisher to one of the ." lights befere us." Again the Tribune says : "We believe that it would be more agreeable to our Western friends to go through at once, in their trips to Newbern, Morehead City, Beaufort, &c. , instead of lying over 6 hours in Goldsboro."' We agree with our friend, that six hours lost in coming down from the West is very "disagreeable." The time be fore the last that we lay over there six hours we were out about twenty and came home with a headache! Very disagreeable. But did it occur to the editor of the Tribune that, under the pro posed new schedule, persons from east of Golds boro' going to Raleigh or elsewhere west, would be compelled to spend a night in Goldsboro' ? Now we can leave Newbern in the morning at 9 and get to Raleigh at 4 o'clock same day; returning, leave Raleigh at 6 in the morning and get to Newbern at (i in the evening. Now we will leave it to our friend of the Tribune to say wheth er the present schedule is not best for the ac commodation of travellers from the east to the west. Persons returning from the summer resorts on Beaufort Harbor will not thank the A Xs N. C. R. R. Co. foi compelling them to pass a night at Goldsboro'. And thus falls another "light." But another point : The editor of the Tribune has fallen into the same error of the Ad locate and the Route Agent on our Road, viz : that we did not know that there were two mails received at Goldsboro daily. We know what mails are received at Goldsboro' at 1 A. M., and what mails reach there at 2,45 P. M., and have known, all along, and we do hope that those who seem to think that they are alone blessed with this knowl edge will cease their efforts to enlighten us. We have contended and do contend that the most important mail to this whole section of Coun try reaches Goldsboro' at 2,45 P. M. We re spectfully submit to the editor of the Tribune whether this is so or not. By what mail, Mr. Tribune, did you get the first news of the nomi nation of Bell ahd Everett? Was it not by the 2,45 P. M., mail ? By what mail will you cet the result of the Democratic Convention at Balti more next month ? By the 2,45 P. M. mail, of course. By what mail do yon get all your latest news from the North, Congressional proceedings New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia markets, and all late .and startling intelligence ? Is it not the mail which arrives at Goldsboro' 25 minutes before the mail now leaves for Newbern ? Know ing that all these questions must bo answered in the affirmative we do hope that gentlemen will cease their efforts to point out mistakes which we have never made and to correct errors into which we hare never fallen. We know that the people of this community are more interested in the mail that arrives at Goldsboro' at 2,45 P. M., than they are in the one that is received theite at J A. M , and for this and other reasons this entire population opposes ,the change which the Board has suffered itself to be brow beat into by one or two of its members. If the Directors would quit experimenting on schedules and go arrange freights as to prevent produce from leaving the markets on their own Road to go three or four times as far to Wilming ton, they would indeed study the interest of the stockholders and the convenience and welfare of the public. About the exhorbitant rates on ma ny articles of produce and manufactures we haVe heard much, but we have heard no complaints concerning the present schedule. Will the Di rectors give the matter of freights a little of their attention 1 . National Executive Committee.

The next few months will be pregnant with stirring ana startling events, and no man whose soul is as large as a pin head will be with out a Daily paper. Just think of it ! The Chicago Convention is now in sea eion ; next month the democracy assemble again at Baltimore, and also the Seceders Convention at Rich mond on the 7th June. Then the excitements and incidents of the campaign for President, the doings of Congress, and the progress of the Canvass in this State which is to close in the defeat of either Pool or Ellis. All these things will be faithfully noted in the Progress, and any one can be served with the paper every morning for 50 cents a month, and, notwith standing all this, will you believe it, you who don't care for a few dollars, there are merchants, mechan ics professional men, brokers and real estate owners in the town of Newbern who do not even take the only Daily paper published in the town. Some of them are too poor, but still they can afford to spend a hundred or two a year for tobacco, liquor, and oth er things which are not prime necessities. Don't believe that they are very ignorant not so; for if they do not pay for the Progress they read it. Some of them habitually read John Good's and others read Clinton Pearson's, while others lift the first copy they see. Some of these gentlemen are church mem bers too, and would be mortally offended if you should charge them with an improper act, and still they are daily robbing the printer. We do not make these remarks with any hope of reforming or redeem nig such, fur they are generally, morally speaking, hard case?, but we enjoy a kind of maniacal grati fication in being able to lacerate what little conscience they have left if any. Only 50 cents a month! Think of it. And still there are hundreds of white men in Newbern who do not take it though they are benefitted by the Bweat of our brow. In all candor, in view of the important events which are expected to transpire during the next few months, we ought to have fifty more daily subscribers in the town of Newbern. Shall we have thein? These men, most of them, who ought to become subscribers, al ready read the paper of somebody else, but will they not enter their names, like christians, and pay for it ?

A tabular statement of the distribution of the Lit erary Fund for the several counties of the State for the first six mouths of the year 1860 appears in the Standard.

Much excitement has been created in New York by the discovery of a defalcation of $155,554 in the Post-Office there, and the subsequent flight of Isaac V. Fowler, the postmaster The defalcation runs back to a period as far back as President Pierce's Administration. A warrant was issued for his arrest by the Treas ury Department at Washington, but he has not .been found. The Express says : Mr Fowler, on Saturday last, parted with his assistant, Mr. Wm. Caldwell, and in shaking hands with that gentleman, said he would see him on Sunday ; but from that time up to the present mo ment, nothing has been heard of him. It is stated that Mr. Fowler has been the dupe of people whom he trusted, that his good feeling has led him into error, and that he has trusted many, who have at length deceived him, and thus caused his em barrassment. Nothing of his present whereabouts is known, nor can those who have hitherto been his confidential advisers say where he is or what has become of him. Officers have been around the Post-Office, and at the New York Hotel (Mr. Fowler's boarding place) during the morning, but no one knows anything about him, and he is evi dently a fugitive. The Assistant Postmaster, Mr. Wm. Caldwell, has instituted a rigid examination into the Cash ier's Department, and has found everything there correct, so that the alledged defalcation is at pres ent a mystery. The Assistant Postmaster Gene ra! is in town, and with Mr. Holbrook is investi gating the affair. The Tribune says the warrant for Fowler's ar rest was issued on the 11th inst., and adds: The supposition is that Mr. Fowler has left the city, and perhaps the country. His bondsmen, George Law and Gustavus A. Conover, are re sponsible for less than one-half of the amount which is alledged to have defaulted, viz: $75,000. Judge Hillyer, Solicitor to the Treasury Depart ment, is in town, with District-Attorney Roose velt, preparing the neceesary papers to recover the deficiency from the bondsmen and the estate of Mr. Fowler. It is asserted by Mr. Fowler's friends that these proceedings would not have been taken had the New York delegation voted against Douglas at Charleston. It is pretty well understood that th defalcation ha long been known at Washington. As long ago as last sum mer it was privately whispered about the city. The Trftsnrr of the Georgia State Railroad Bas paid $40,000 Into the State Treasury, being the net earnings for the month of Apr!. i NEWBERN, N. C, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 22, FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Goldsboro', May 16th, 1860. Dear Progress : The ladies connected with the M. E. Church at this place gave a Feast em bracing Thursday and Friday evenings of last week. It was numerously attended, and proved to be a feast of a five-fold character, inasmnch as all the five senses of man's susceptible nature were amply regarded. Frozen cream, with lem ons brought to aid (ade,) cooled hearts that were "firing up" with love at sight; manly fingers embraced tender, yielding sides, while lips were passionately pressed to suck the nectar that flowed from sweet oranges, and silvery notes incessantly rung in merry accents upon the air, made redolent with the perfumes of a thousand flowers. The proceeds of the feast amounted to a very band some sum, which is to be expended in furnishing the new Church, soon to be erected here. There is quite a Chureh-building spirit abroad in the land, and it is cheering to the heart of the Christian to know that it is not simply a spirit to build and to emulate sister churches, but that it is a necessity occasioned by the increased num ber of persons who attend divine worship.' I was in Wilson a few days since and learnd that the Primitive Baptists of that place and vicinity hao", just completed a very nice Church at that place ; and that the Methodists, Episcopalians and Mis sionary Baptists were soon to erect very fine houses of worship. By the way, there is a spirit of enterprise an 1 liberality among the people of Wilson seldom found in any community. The Union Party in this section are universally well pleased with the nomination of Bell and Everett. Democrats have naught to say against such names. Still, it is generally admitted, I be lieve, that it would he better for the South at this critical juncture, that one ticket-only should be opposed to the Republican nomination. A pistol was discharged through the window of a house in a certain locality in this town on last Sunday night, and a gentleman who was. lying upon a bed within, would have been instantly killed had his head been in his hat, which was hanging upon the bed post, and which received the ball. No other harm was done, and it is be lieved that a little fright, only, was intended. Nobody was scared, of course. Yours, &c, HORATIO. CHICAGO COIYVEUfXIOIV ! THE CITY THRONGED WITH STRANGERS !

The New Orleans True Delta, of Wednesday last, has the following in regard to the Union de monstration at New Orleans : The Union demonstration on Lafayette Square last night, was of that decided and enthusiastic stamp which shows that the hearts of the people of the Metropolis of the South are in the right place. It was gratifying to every lover of this great and prosperous republic, which has thus far gone forward. ' With its own stride from glory to glory," to look upon the thousands congregated, that lis tend to the elequent appeals of the speakers, and to express their firm, unwavering and patriotic de votion to the Union, and the South in the Union under the constitutional guarantees. It was gratifying to see the people in council re fuse to follow the lead of the Parthians, who, flying from the Union, shoot their arrows behind them, in their base and unholy warfare; gratifying to hear the welkin ring when the voice of the patriot speak ers proclaim in so many words, the " union of the Sor.th for the sake of the Union ;" gratifying to know that those who would, like blind Samson, pull down the pillars of the crand temple of the Confederacy, sacrificing themselves and all that is noble and national beneath its rains, found no sympathy in the great commercial focus of Loui siana and the South. Thire can be no mistake about this outburst of the people ; no sort of doubt about the quasi inde pendent, recession movement of those Southern delegates at Charleston who misrepresentad their constituents, met with a stern rebuke, with un qualified disapprobation. The unstinted applause of the vast multitude when sentiments were ut tered directly opposed, to a severance of the Re public and of codemnation of the course of those who would swamp the Union in the seething and infernal malestorm of disunion, plainly evinced that whatever hectoring, bargaining and corrupt politicians, might do, the people would not fol low them in their mad career. Nor did the voice of the people stop here. It proclaimed Stephen A. Douglas the choice of the South for the first office within the gift of Repub lican suffragans of the country ; it proclaimed that his nomination had been prevented by a few dis contented delegates, who, like Milton's fallen angel, had rather. " Rule in hell than serve in heaven ," it proclaimedhat strenght had been given to the Black Republicans by the non-fealty of men who, professing to be the friends of the South, sought to lay the axe at the root of its equality in the Union, its interest, its prosperity. RE-ELECTION OF SENATOR FOSTER. New Haven, May JO. The Connecticut Leg islature this morning re-elected the Hon. Lafay ette S. Foster as United States Senator for six years from the expiration of his present term. The Democratic candidate was the Hon. W. W. Eaton, of Hartford, who made a speech, in the Democratic caucua last night, taking strong grounds against Mr Douglas and his doctrines, declaring that the seventeen Democratic States repudiate them, and defending the Southern view on the Territorial question. The vote stood in the Senate 14 for Foster and 7 for Eaton. In the House 139 for Foster and 70 for Eaton. For the Lkgislatcr e The Whigs of Rowan have nominated Dr. J. G. Ramsey for re-election to the Senate, and Messrs. Francis . Bhober and II. C. Jones, Jr.', for the Commons. . ORIGINAL POETRY. To Miss There 'teas a time, my gentle girl, We roamed in sportive glee ; When in my heart I felt the apell Of thy soft witchery. But oh ! I little dreamed that thou Wonldst soon grow stern and cold ; That harsh disdain's dark sombre wings Thy spirit would enfold. blame thee not for what has passed, For thou art yet too young To turn aside the tearing words That flow from envy's tongue: And well I know that this it is That makes thee give me pain That causes thee to treat me with Nj A coloand proud disdain. But now I say to thee fartvull We must forever part ; Although it adds a keener pang To my poor bleeding heart. Oh! let the past be with the past, It neeis now no amends ; We met h love oh ! let us now, Since prt we must as friends. BEN. SELECTED POETRY. Remembrance. The grass is h thy grave, Mother, And mony ayear has fled Since my heaitgrew sad and restless At the thochtthat ye were dead: But oh ! I neveiwill forget Thy last sad Icok at me A look that only mother's love To mother's eer, could arie. This is my birth-night, and unsocht, Auld scenes flit i"er my brain ; Close round our tirt on ereepie stools, Ken'd faces smile again ; Ay, learfu' een, andjoyfu' looks, Around that fire 1 see Wee hearts a' thrilkd wi' mother's 'tales' O' sorrow and o' glee. Oh! lowly was my biirnhood's Lame, And poverty was tiiere ; But love ehed brightness round the health, And soothed a mother's care A mother that made limne a spot O' 8KnshiDe aye to ine ; And bright within the past it lies As moonlight on the sa. A widow's heart was thine, Mother, Since first thy face I miad ; And oh ! what weary toil was thine, Our bread and clatta to fiii : Ay, weary toil and hunger whiles, That we nae pinch might feel, For thy bairnes were a' thy riches. An' ye lo'ed them oh, how wecl. Oh ! my heart swells high within me, ADd the tears rin fiae my een. As thy trials rise before me, Now, wi' clearer vision seen Trials sair. but never spoken, Though they pressed thy body doon Trials ken'd by uane but puir folk, And the God thatdrwells aboou. But time brings unco changes ; And that heart now kens nuo pain ; And the bairns wha shared its blessins Xow hae'bairnes o' their ain ; And are blessed wi' cozie dwellins, Where a meal they aje eau spare, And the een that fain would seen it, Now are dimmed for evermair. The grass is on thy grave, Mother, And inony a year has tied Siuce my heart grew sad and restless At the thocht that ye were dead, But oh ! I never will torget Thy last sad look at me A look that only mother's love To mother's een could gie. X. THE SOU1H AND THE NORTH. One of the most perfectly hopeless and paraly zing circumstances in the relations of the South to tie North is its inveterate determnation not to manufacture for itself, but to look to the North for every thing rather than lift its little finger to supply the smallest of its own wants. Notwithstanding all the clamor about sustain ing its own manufacture.0, which followed the Johu Brown raid, the New Orleans Picayune says that the exports of shoes from Boston to the South ern Stats show a considerable increase for the last three months over the corresponding period of 1859. If the trade of the South with the ringlead er of Northern abolitionism thus increases, it is reasonable to suppose that with other States it has not fallen off. If the South, with the evidence be fore its eyes that the money it pays for shoes is invested in pikes to shed its own blood, chooses to incresse its outlays in the same direction, it is preposterous to expect that any appeals to its rea son or interest can change its self-indulgent sui cidal policy It is not only in vain to hope that it will buy at the other markets, f honest and elegant workmen, such, for example, as the Frnech, who, by making proper arrangement could supply all our wants. The French are our ojd allies; they have meddled very little with aboli ton;they do not make shoes with brown paper heels and chip soles; therefore, the French need not expect support in the South. The pleasure season being at hand, there will be, of course, a universal stampede to the North. Unfortunately, there are no springs in the South, no mountains, no salt water. All our own swans are" geese ; all the Abolition geese are swans. Let us hasten and render the annual fleece to New England shepherds. Richmond Dispatch. The Happy Man. He was born in the city ot Regeneration, in the the parish of Repentance unto life. He was educated at the school of Obe dience, and lives now in Perseverance. He works at the trade of diligence, notwithstanding he has a large estate in the country -of Christian Contentment, and many times does jobs of self denial. He wears the plain garment of humility, and has a better suit to put on when he goes to Christ, called the yoke of Christ's Righteous- j ness. He often walks in tbe valley ot belt abasement, and sometimes climbs the mountains of Spiritualmindedness. He breakfasts every morning in Spiritual Prayer, and sups every eve ning on the same. He has meat to eat the world knows not of, and his drink is the sincere milk of the Word. Thus happy he lives, and hap py he dies. Happy is he who has Gospel submission in his will, good order in his affections, sweet peace in his conscience, sanctity in his heart, real divinity in his breast, true humility in his mind, the Re deemer's yoke on his neck, the vain world under his feet, and a crown of glory on his head. Hap py is the life of such. In order to obtaiu which, pray fervently, believe firmly, wait pitiently. work abundantly, live holy, die daily, watch your heart, guard your thoughts, words, and ac tions; redeem your time looking to the Lamb ot God ; love him, and long for glory.

The Japanese, durin? their stay in San Fran Cisco, have exhibited a great many peculiarities, which may be interesting to many readers, and we believe have not been told before. They have all shown themselves easily pleased, and exceed ingly well bred. When asked to try some dish, new to them, they do so ; if they like it they con tinue eating, expressing themselves well pleased ; if not, they taste no more, but never express dis like. The Ambassadors are very dignified, and command respect. The inferior officers never en ter their apartment without bowing, and the ser vants invariably drop upon the koe. They are all very light eaters, but they take their meals vary quickly, almost everything else they do slowly, but eating with them is a"rapid operation. The subordinates eat nothing but rice , but the dignitaries are fond of sweatmeats. cakes, confections of all kinds, and sauces. None of them.e?it any meat, except that the dirnitRries take a little chicken, and none cf them use either milk or butter. They drink both tea and coffee, and are no sooner through with their meals than they go to smoking their wild tobac co in small pipes. They are all very apt at learning anything. The manner of folding napkins especially, for in stance, which for any other species genus homo would require an apprenticeship of a day or two. the Japaueses learn by seeing it done once. Their powers vi imitation are consequently very grent, any kind of manipulation, apter scholars could not possibly be auy where found. They learu to write the English letters in a few minutes, and can copy anj-thing they sea. The faculty of con structiveness, indeed, seems to be a natural de velopment, as alio a certain serene good humor, which is indicated by their universally fat, plump smiling round faces. Another national charac teristic seems to be their inquisitiveness. There is hardly anything that escapes them ; about our government, laws, customs and so on, they are neverdone asking questions. At the Internation al Hotel they were curious to understand the re lations between Mr Haley and his employees ; what sort of government was established there: how Mr. Haley could have everything attended to so well, and how he could exercise so complete a control, unless he was a sort ot prince or master. And, it is unnecessary to add, they were surpris ed at much which they learned in regard to the American people ; and strange will be the ac counts which they will carry home of the great nation which has no Princes and no Emperor. The Charleston PREss.-Some of the Charles ton papers manifest a strong desire that the fece tiers should take high ground m the present emer gency, and strike for Southern rights. Lest they should be persuaded to retrace their steps and unite at Baltimore with the regular Democratic Convention, the News says: " The seceding States have the game in their hands it would be bad policy, and utter imbecili ty and fraud, to throw it away." The Mercury pleads for a concentration of Southern men for decisive action, as follows: " We trust a spirit of single-mmded patriotism will actuate all parties, so that causes of difference will be avoided, and no obstacles be erected in the grave matter of the Richmond Convention." A desperate effort is making in some quaters to put the seceders to the adoption of extreme measures. MARRIED At the house of the bride's father.
