Says our Newbern market reporter, under date of the 8th Inst.: "Heveral cargoes of corn have arrived ; one cargo sold. Terms, private." It is not enough that the public should be told of the character and production of any firm. They must be told repeatedly and continuously.

(Sanders A Co. have secured the agency for Mape's Nltmgenized Huper Phos phate; also M ape's Acid Phosphate for composting with cotton seed. We do not hesitate to say that our farmers can do no better than to buy either Mape's or the Star one, of our largest guano dealers, Mesrs. A. C. Sanders A Co. We again call attention to the at tractive advertisement, of Whann's Raw Rone Super Phosphate that ap pears on the third pageof this paper. This popular fertilizer has been be fore the public ten years, and daring that time has constantly Increased in reputation and popular favor. It Is now recognized as one of the stand ard fertilizers of the country and particular adapU-d to the youth of corn, cotton and tabacco. A "Phantom" Incident. At the Phantom hop at the Yarborough Ilouc l.tt Friday evening, quite a romantic incident occurred that is really worthy of tjecial note, and we will relate : Mr. T. J. Higgins, a wealthy Chi cago capitalist, and a middle aged unmarried mau, who is spending his winter in the South, to avoid the rigors of a below-zero-Northern at mosphere, happened to be a guest of the Yarborough House, and was kindly invited by Dr. H'acknall to mingle iu the many mazes of the phantom hop. Providing himself with a ghost suit, he "mingled" In, and had a very good time consider ing the fact that he never met in per son a lady on the floor. During the evening he "tripped it" with at least twenty partners, and happened to be on the floor when the order, was given to unmask. Removing his own mask he proceeded to perform the honors for his partner. Imagine his surprise on finding a very warm and intimate friend lady friend that he had not seen before in twelve years. The lady was from Boston and spending her winter at Davis' Kittrell hotel, who came up that evening merely to attend the phan tom hop. Returned. Ira Beck with, who left this section nine years ago to try his fortunes In the far West, returned to the city yesterday, and was warm ly welcomed by his old friends. He says he tried his level best to be satis fied with his new home, but finally give up the Job. He is now perfectly satisfied with "The Good Old North State Forever." Cheap Fertilizer. From the double-column advertisement else where it will be seen that Mr. Simp son, our popular druggist, has on hand and for sale chemicals that will make a Fertilizer of much merit, at a cost of only $11.30 per ton. This fact la worth the attention of the farming public. he RALEIGH. RnWHhM flnrllncr thla notice marked are apprised that their term . . . . ... i i . i. : or suDscripuon win expire whuiu two weeks. All renewals must be prompt, Legislative Summary. In the House yesterday the first business taken up was the bill providing for the purchase of the Western North Carolina Railroad by the State. Mr. Tate, in an able and lengthy argu ment, favored the passage of the bill, but was opposed by Messrs. Pinnix, Mo ring and Staples. In their oppo sition, these gentlemen were not disposed to impede or obstruct any enterprise of the West tending to promote the interest of that section. The remarks of Mr. Staples, in ex plaining his vote against the bill, is about the position of all the gentle men that opposed the bill, therefore we give them in full : I am not hostile to any measure which has for its purpose the develop ment of the great West, neither do I oppwe the construction of railroads to its farthest limits. I would gladly welcome the day when the whistle of the steam car should resound and re verberate through her mountains, and railroad trains, laden with her product, be heard daily thundering their onward speed to the markets of the world. Rut, sir, there is suspi cion in the minds of many, that the great debt which overhangs this Western Road like a dark and gloomy cloud, is not a valid claim in the hands of the persons who profess to hold the road under the mortgage upon which the decree of the United . States District Court for the Western Di-trict of North Carolina is founded. Indeed, sir, some of the 'most' eminent lawyers in the State are of the opinion, that if this decree of the Federal Couit could be reviewed in the Supreme Court of the United State, that it would most certainly be reversed. I am inform ed that the way is still open to that high tribunal, and, if there is any probability whatever, that this decree can be ojeneI, and this great load of debt (which has already obstructed the completion of the road, and im peded the progress and development of our rich mountain couutry,) could be swept out of existence. I for one, am iu favor of authorizing the Governor to cause to be institu ted such proceedings as will secure this result. The private stockholders who have expended large sums in this road, have some rights in the preauises, and while we are legisla ting for the protection of the State, let us not forget that our fellow-citizens have some claim upon us, and that claim should not be disregarded. Let this decree be set aside, and pre serve to these privat stockholders their paid up interests; and I assure you that we will have acted the part of justice and of iUbt. Not that I am opposed to the Western Railroad, but believing the citizen stockholders of the West have an interest which should be protected, if possible, and believing an appeal to the Supreme Court will best subserve that end, I shall vote no upon the passage of this bill. Mr. Pinnix took a similar position to that of Mr. Staples in the discus sion ou yesterday. Sixth District.

FEBRUARY 10, fFor the Dally News. The Swamp Lands. The perplexing subject of the pub lic lands of the State is again before the Legislature. It appears from a bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Cantwell, that there is a movement on foot by a corporation, styled "The Neuse River Canal Company" to get control of certain swamp lands be longing to the School Fund, nd situated in NewHanover and other Eastern counties'. In these degenerate days of rings and land grabs, in the State as well as the nation, there can be no impjopricty, but a high duty and necessity on the part of every legislator, ofscrutiuizing closely such attempts to get control of these State lands. The exercise of great caution and circumspection will be expected of the Legislature in making auy dis position of these lands. Any failure of duty In this important relation will be more or less fatal to the Demo cratic party. The experience of the past i9 full of warning in this respect, as the proverbial appetite for grow ing rich of land companies cannot be too carefully heeded by the Legisla ture. These lauds are safe as they are, and are daily attracting more and more attention. They will not bo apt to become more valuable to the State at large or her citizens by being conveyed in part or whole, to speculators. Least of ull should a spendthrift policy be pursued which would dispose of any of these lands without first understanding exactly for what they are going, not caring whether for a song or a sixpence. If the adage be true that a burnt child dreads the fire, .North Carolina has reason to be cautious how she deals with canal companies, navigation companies and swamp land specula tors; especially should the Demo cratic Legislature remember that the Democratic party are constantly ac corded of a want of proper interest in the school fund of the State and in the great cause of popular educa tion. Any one at all acquainted with the "history of the State can recur to instances of large squander ings, and this bill of Mr. Cantwell is now serving to remind citizens of the State, residing in sections adjacent to these lands, of this significant truth. We have several objections to this bill, some of which we will mention. The amount of canaling to be done, with the exact localities in which it is to be done, is very indefinitely stated, whilst the amount of public domain to be secured is well defined, including one-half the public lands between the Ncuse and Aorth j-Jast liivers, as veil as large quanti ties in the vicinities of Green Swamp and White and Brown Marshes in Colunitnts andadjoininy counties. We further object because the bill misrepresents the character of these lands. It represents Holly Shelter, Pocos-in and Angola Bay as covered with most valuable timber and as much productive, whereas there are little else than vast peat logs, cov ered with a very scattering growth of stuntedjpines and small shrubs and in some places by extensive growth of small canes, totally unfit for agriculture. There is very little valuable timber in either of these Pocosins. The only value they can have, except the fertile tracts on their. borders, will be for their peat and cane, and drainage in advance of utilizing these materials, would be a wild and destructive ex perimentas silly as leading trains of straw to a powder house and then firing them, for experience teaches that when such lands are drained they are liable to burn up in dry spells if fire reaches them. But every good ditcher and scientific engineer will regard as a jest when this Com pany speaks, as this bill indicates, of preventing "a future overflow from the back water of the North East river upon either or both, as the case may be. of Holly Shelter swamp or Angola Bay," and in consideration of this novel display of engineering skill, take one-half the land in said Pocosins. It will be news to the set tlers between the Pocosins and the North East river to hear of these ex ploits, lor, since the days of Noah the North East waters have never overflowed Holly Shel ter, Pocosins and only a very small outskirt of Angola. If, however, through some mistake in the prophet, another flood shall come, boats will be in greater demand than canals, and we would advise the Company to anchor a few boats in their canals, because in the event of another flood, it does not appear how canaling the Pocosin will keep back the water from the river. If the canal is cut into the river, it certainly cannot keep back the waters of the river un less the waters of the canal are stron ger than those of the river and can pusii them back. Or, perhaps tltis being a branch canal when it has performed the feat of leading water from the lower end of Shelter Poeo siti up to the main trjnk near Shel ter Creek, that then being reinforced by the main trunk and Shelter Creek, the three combined, and uni ted in one powerful phalanx, can so rush against the aforesaid back waters of the North East river as to drive them within three accustomed channels, and compel them to desist from any further encroachment on the said Holly Shelter Swamp and Angola Bay. Precedent, science, and justice de mand to be heard .as to this bill and similar schemes for disposing of our public lands. In no case should the Legislature venture upon a disposi tion of them without the official opinion of the State Geologist as to their extent, nature, quality and value, as well as to the claims and practicability of the scheme proposed in the bill now before the Senate. No proposition from any canal com pany should be entertained without a knowledge of the exact extent of the main trunk and its branches, with their exact location aud the estimates of competent engineers as to plans and specifications, cost of construction, practicability, Ac, Ac. The great interests at stake demand this as the only course which intel ligence and justice can recognize. It is only by such a line of policy and justice that the State can be assured she is not the dupe of greedy speculators and laud jobbers who are ever ready to sacrifice public schools and the best interests of North Caro lina in order to accomplish their sel fish aud adroit schemes.

It provides for the funding of the debt of the State' into new bonds, which would make the debt some five and a half million dollars. The question of adopting the sub stitute was discussed by Messrs. War ing, Cash well. Latham, Standford and French. The substitute does not provide for the bonds known as the Special Tax bonds, and Mr. French desired to know if the Committee had satisfied itself that there was no danger of the Federal Courts compelling some day the payment of these bonds by the State. Mr. Waring said the Committee could not advise itself in regard to this matter, and could not therefore undertake to advise the Senate. On motion, the further considera tion of the question was postponed until 12 o'clock to morrow. miscellaneous. The President appointed Messrs. Shaw and C. M.

The bill in relation to the purchase of the Western North Carolina Rail road was taken up and discussed at considerable length, Messrs. Tate, Pinnix, Staples, Moring and Reid taking an active part in the same. The bill having failed to pass its second reading, a report of the dis cussion will not be of general inter est to our readers. SPECIAL ORDERS. . House bill, being a substitute for several bills in regard to usury, was taken up as the special order for 12 o'clock. The bill isentitled an act to regulate the rate of interest and to prevent usury. The provisions of the bill-are the same Identically as that recently dis cussed at so much length! in the Senate, therefore the reporter consid ers it unnecessary to give the provis ions of the bill. Mr. Mebane was in favor of a post4 fionementof the bill one week at leasts n order that the voice of the: people may be heard on the subject. He would admit that be was opposed to the passage, but he was not prompted by this motive to postpone itsconsid eration. He especially desired a careful consideration of this danger-! ous bill, Ac Mr. Pinnix opposed any postpone ment. He said the bills now. undef consideration had been laidion the desks of members iu a printedUorm two weeks ago, and he could not see why any member could ask its post-, pouement. He said he was aware of the fact that lobbyists in numbers were now present who he believed sought to secure this legislation in order to defeat it, but the fiat had already gone forth. It is predeter mined to pass the bill, and no dila tory measures, even if effected, would hinder its passage. a Messrs. Staples, Finger, Menden hali and Robinson, (Mr. Gudger in the Chair,) opposed delay and post ponement, and Messrs. Means, Mc Rae, Oaksmi'th, Boyd and Mclver advocated a recommittal. Pending further discussion on the subject, Mr. Robinson stated that as the Senate bill was identically the same as the one before the House, and was now on the Speaker's desk, he would move, in order to avoid further discussion, to table this bill. The motion prevailed. A message was then announced from the Senate, informing the House of the passage of the usury bill above referred to, and asked the concur rence of the House therein. v Mr. Staples moved a suspension of the rules in order to take up the bili that he mifeht move to make it the special oruer for to-morrow at 12 o'clock. Objection was made but the mo tion prevailed, and the bill was or dered to be made the special order for 12 o'clock to-morrow. The second special order was the bill to lay off and establish the new county of Pender, reported from the committee favorably. Pending the reading of the bill the House adjourned, and this bill conies up as the unfinished business to morrow.
