Dkatii of Cm,. .Wxi'., BistiuAii. A telegram was received in this city yesterday announcing the death of the distinguished Col. Wni. Bingham, in Florida, on Thursday. Though antici pated by his friends for several months, his death has created a general gloom of melanqboly over the State. No man was more 'widely known than Colonel Bingham, and the sad announcement of his death, wi I be uceived with uni versal regret. We deler a general notice of this distinguished North Carolinian till to-morrow. Mrc.v Minrs 15 Buncombe County. A valuable mine of mica. has recently been discovered and is now 'eing developed in the. county of Buncoinbe on' the lands ot the '"Blackstock Mining - Company." Great 'excitement now prevails in that county on this subject, and , the atten tion of capitalists 13 being attracted to that country. The completion of the Railroad through (that section would devel ope the richest mines of this and other minerals in the world. We hope something maybe done by our General Assembly to hasten the , completion of the Western N. C. Railroad, Think of It ? By reference to ar.o her co'uinT., it 'will- be seen that so.ne 1.; our biHtmss men-were called on y.sicrday ur sub.-cripiioirs to the new t'n'V Grounds.- Wiiile. we cannot in jus tice ' 10 nt hers compliment the individual liberality of some yet wedo imt uxi,at liiicrly to siy that a'few buboes men are giving-much, less than tiieir frien Is are expcCiing Of them. We le.l n.i hcitancy, howc vermin asserting that there ina'a man in Raltigh who cannot atFoid to give something. If we 'have no Slate pride to stimulate us, let us .uok to uur own individual interest, ami see how fifty thousand dollars can be 'turned loose in Raleigh during one week, and not fiiwU its way into the poekena of most every person, regardless' ot .business or posittou. We. must all now give to this worthy enterprise, or acknowledge that, the old North State cannot compete with her tsister States. The Washington and Lek Ukiter; bity. Endowment- Fund. Mr. VV. A. McCue, the agent for this University, is at present in Riteigh in the interest of that school. The endowment fund is obtained by the disposal of scholarships running through four,. sessions. We have examinca the plan upon which these scholarships are given out, and think them most admirable. The Washington andXee University is now upon a sound and healthy footing, and is destined to be one of the first insti tutions of learning in die country. Mr. McCue is at preseut stopping at the Yarborougb, but intend visiting van ous portions ol tbe State and extending his cauvass throughout the South. This institution, it will be remem bered, formed the rejreat of the Jament ed Confederate chieftain after he had laid aside the sword, apd thus forms a part of the history of that great and good man. . 1'- I r AlfUifrConstitueienaVAacrmelits passed tlir.thirdaffiTIiiuJeTS8 npon which no vote was; taken .before adiournment. v2 lidoubtfuMhat frig ameDdnicnti wiU; fimw several DcL crats. oppose 1t;iind V number of So ixubaicaua-, thorr supjjTjrfed the o4er aniendments will also Vote against ij. was adopted giyiDff.thoPiilil JO davs after the adjfnftient 'ot thej LegisTature for getting totli public . omr. lournais. i uia is the time that has been allowed in former years, but a recent act passed required the printing and vfclnog of thelaws, documents and journals within 40 days.

Our.correspondent, under date of yesterday, Tsends us the following items of interest from this section : . : u. . The robbery perpetrated on the Express, office ihere will not "prove so great a los3 to tbe parties concerned as was at first supposed.. .The amount abstracted was at first estimated to be about two hundred dollars. Further investigation' developed that the total amount missiDg was more than nearly one hundred and fifty dollars, and one hundred and twelve of this sum was in the shape of a draft sent to Mr. John L. Jones. The parties on whom the stolen draft was drawn have been instructed not to pay it. The real amount of the 15ss therefore d windles down to less than forty dollars. ! Miss Saliie Norman, of Wake county, grand daughter of the late General William T.' Norman, of Granville, was united in matrimony to Captain Wil liams, a druggist of Franklinton, on Wednesday night, February 19th, at the residence ot Mis. Col. R. p.Taylor, near Oxford, Rev. Lewis K. ' Willie, performed the nuptial ceremony. Dr. A. F. Osborn has sold the. house in which he has bien conducting his bdsiutss as druggist, tu Mr, Robert E. Elliott. Dr. Osborn purposes changing his residence to some point in Virginia. Mr. Elliott will probably rent the store to certain parties who are thinking ot opeuiug a general auction room. Omitted Proceedings. The 'Senti nel, in its account of the proceedings in the House on Thursday, omits all mention of the speeches or position of Messrs. McGehee and Gudger when the Anderson-Norwood letter cameiiip for discussion. As soon as Andersons letter was read, Mr. McGcheesaid if this matter meant anything, it meant an offer for a bargain in relation to a public measure. The honor of the House, demauded an investigation,, and he demanded it. He said if the House stooped to legislation of this kind, it would and should sink into merited contempt, &c. . Mr. Gorman thought theletfer plainly impugned the integrity of the Commit tee who awarded the contract for the printing. Mr. Gudger said he felt it his duty, a3 Chairman of the House branch, of the Printing Committee, to speak, as there was an imputation against that Com mittee. He said the Committee in'pur suaHCe of law, and in good faith, made the contract with the News office. He believed the House to be satisfied with the contract, and knew he spoke the sentiments of every member o'f the Com mittee in saying they could not, nor would not it they could, recede from their contract. He regarded tbe many insinuations ajjaifist that Committee as ialse and unworthy of notice. i Mr. Badger : lou cannot undo the contract lf-vou would. The Constitu tion of the United States prevents. Mr, Gudger: There is no desire to do it. Mr. Bennett offered the following res olution, which was adopted under a suspension ot thcruWs: li'esolveil, I hat a Committee ot three be appointed to investigate the matter of the i. letter sent to this IlouseJrom the Senate, purporting to have been 'written by J. S. Anderson to J. V. Norwood., and report at their earliest convenience. Water Works. A bill 'to Incorpo rate water works for the city of Raleigh has been introduced into the House;, and passed its second, reading'. It was in troduced by Mr. Gorman. Its incorpo rators are among the most energetic business men of "the citv. and may have a capital stock of $200,000. Its object is to lurnish the citizens oi liaieign wiin a full supply of water, and have the privilege to. conduct the same irom such springs or streams as may be deemed practicable through the streets ol the City, ami toe eAeiuaivc pnvnc; to supply the same to firms and individ uals. The Commissioners ol the city are allowed to subscribe to the stock of said Company not exceeding over half the capital stock, payable in cash, or bonds bearing not more than 8 per cent inter est, payable in thirty years, and the dividends and pronts accruing to me city from the water works, to be appro priated towards the payment of its s:ock and 'interest.'" When $2G,CO0 has been subscribed, the Company is authorized to organize and begin its operations, and has the privilege, of issuing bonds and mortgaging the same towards the comppletion of the work". The details of the bill hedge its provis ions around about in such a manner as to properly protect both the corpora tion of the city as well as the individual stockholders. The -act, in the opinion of those who have the best interests of the people at heart, is deemed a good one, and under its pro visions it is cordially hoped Raleigh will be , early, delivered from its present perils from fire as well as incon venieutfe from lack of sufficient water. When opportunity offers, we propose to publish the act in full.) Vil TV rUX1 A 1 ' Kr -r-r, 1 II II II iv II i I 1 .
