MR. WASHINGTON'S SPEECH.
The able Speech of this gentleman, on tha Bill
to strangle the odious Gerrymander of 1842-3, and
re-disirict the State on proper principlea of equi
Ubla Representation, is . published at length, In
this piper. It will be found to justify all that wo
have heretofore said in its praise.
THE METROPOLITAN ROAD.
We shall nare the pleasure of publishing in our
aext, the Tlatle Speech of Mr. Gmcw of Guil
ford. deliTered in our State Senate, on the Bill to
rente and re-establish the Raleigh and Gaston Rail ;
Rdid. This Bill, it is known, was defeated m me
Senate, but the strong facts, presented by the Speech,
and the Statistics therein embodied, cannot fail to
attract the farm-able notice of Capitalist, to the
proposed extension of our Rail Road, South.
THE CASWELL VOLUNTEERS.
This noble-looking Company, mustering some 75
men, reached this City on Tuesday arnoon last,
t th Rendezvous at Wilsrinzton.
" j z ... -.
On arriving near the Corporate limks they were
met by our two splendid . Military Companies, and
the CadeU of the "Raleigh Military Academy," and
were escorted, amid the firing of Cannon, and the
huxsas of the multitude, to tha Capital. - Here, they
were presented by the Adjutant General, to the Go
vernor of the State, who delivered, for such an oc
easion, about the most effective, feeling and brilliant
Speech, it ha ever been our good fortune to hear.
Most usually, Gov. Gsauam Is not sufficiently ani
mated in his manner, to suit our ideas of what should
constitute a popular speaker. But on this occasion,
the whole lire and enenry of his character were
roused and excited, and wIn thoughts that erenffe,
and words th.it for,0 he poured out his whole souL
We could see in 'the countenance of almost every
Volunteer, fatigued as they were, resolution and
defiance the flashing eye and the compressed lip
particularly when the Gorernor alluded to the pro
bability of their being soon engaged in the deadly
strife, and pourtrayed the eager anxiety, with which
their fellow-citizens would look into the account of
the engagement, for the deeds and trophies of the
North Carolina Regiment
At the conclusion of the Address, thePablic Trca
s irer of the State (Major Hnrro) stepped forward,
and inTited the Volunteers and their Escort, to par
take of Refreshment, which, with great liberality,
he had had spread, at his own expense, on the first
floor of the CapitoL Gov.Gbasum was prevented,
by indisposition in his family, from extending the
civilities to the Caswell, that he had to the Orange
Company.
Af.er the exercises at the Capitol were over, the
Volunteers were escorted to their Quarters, at Mr.
Jthx Hjttchvu? who has proved himself a whole
souled fellow, and he i:ain't nothing else." Refu
sing all compensation from the State or City A at ao
rtic, or from publ c-spirited Individuals, he has now
twice entertained two entire Companies at bis own
expense, and wouli, do so, we have no doubt, were
h&lf-a-doxen more to coma.
Before leaving his hospitable quarter, Hon. Cal
ri.t G saves, of Caswell, returned the thanks of his
County, and its Volunteers, -for the respect with
which they had been treated. In the course of his
remarks, he said, that in a fair field, and open fight,
be would pledge himself, that the Caswell Volunteers
would kill as many Mexicans, aa any Company in
the Army. Mr. Gaarca has four nephews in this.
Company, and we Cannot but here bear testimony to
his patriotism, and self-denial of the comforts of
home, as evinced by his conduct on this occasion.
He only reached Caswell, from his duties in the Le
gislature, the night the. Company- left The next
morning found him on the way to Raleigh, impelled
by a spirit of kindness and State and County pride,
that all must admire, if they do not imitate.
On Wednesday morning, about nine o'clock, our
whole community was In motion, to witness the de
parture of the Volunteers. Wa believe, we speak
the exact truth, when we say that we never saw a
larger concourse of persons assembled at the Depot,
except on the occasion of Mr. Clay's visit. Amid
tbs firing of Artillery,, the roar of Musketry, the
huzzas ef a grateful and admiring assembly, these
gallant telle w, wtase nobis bearing seemed to justify
all the predictions of valor, made by Mr. Graves
amidst such incidents, speaking loudly to the feel
ings and eyes, of the K pride, pomp and circumstance
of War amid such gratifying indications of popu
lar approval,' this young band of Patriots took
leTs of thsir homes and their firesid--ome of
them, perhaps forever 1 ' 9

OUR DISTRICT. ,' v
The last "Standard", announces. Gen, J. EL J.
Daxicx, as s Candidate for Congress, in this Dis
trict There are no w two LocbFoco Candidates Mr.
Daniel and Gen. Hawkins. We presume there will
be two or throe others, as the Whigs are so "enow
ed under," aa to be unabl to kick and, then, look
out for "lots of fun."
' THE T ANCHESTERj ROAD. .
At s late meeting of the Citizens of Wilmington,
it was determined that the extension of their Ruad
; to Manchester, should be consummated. We hope
those interested in the extension of our' Road, will
profit by the example, and determine to go ahead.
INSULT UPON INJURY!
The Raleigh Register of the 221 instant, brands
thoe Democrats in this State, who hare volunteered,
for the Mexican War, as Lece Fci Volnnteera."i
The abore is from the " Standard," and is another!
evidence, that it sticks, at nothing, when it has a
purpose to accomplish ; and we are only prevented
Dy Bf ifnpect, from characterixing the assertion as
it deserves.
The connection in which we used the term u Loco
Fecp Volunteers," was this. The "Standard" had
arraigned Gov. Gbablam, and the Whig Legislature,
for having retarded the formation of the Regiment,
by their course in relation to the appointment of
Field Officers. . After vindicating the Governor and
th s Legislature, from the unjust allegation, wa said
"How the action of a Whig Legislature could
affect the determination of Loco JTece Volunteers,
we leave to the astuteness of the " Standard" to
elucidate."
Is this applying the epithet complained of, to those
who have volunteered 1 Was it not only saying, in
effect, that those who profera such opposition to
Whigs, ought not, certainly, to be restrained from
doing right, because, they might think others had
done nreng.
We are willing, on any day, to test our patriotism
with the Editor of the "Standard." We cannot
volunteer that is a fixed fact" but then we make
no pretensions, that we have no idea of realizing.
But in all that is necessary, to give "aid and com
fort" to our brave defenders, we will go Jtve times as
far as that Editor wilL If we were disposed to play
the braggadocio, w would offer to march to Mexico,
on condition that the Editor of the "Standard"
would also go. There would be no danger, we think,
ef having to leave business and family. But, if he
ever does get there, he would rise, at once, by his
peculiar qualifications, to the post of JBrag-adier
General
"MEXICAN WHIG."
This is the last epithet, applied by that chaste,
decent and veracious sheet, the " Standard," to the
Whig party. It is all in character with that paper,
and its Editor and it party. Look at the denuncia
tion in Congress, by Loco Foco leaders, of Taylor,
Scott, and other t Mexican Whigs." Look at the
attempt of Mr. Polx, himself, to supersede both
these " Mexican Whigs," by the appointment of a
Loco Foco Lieutenant General over their heads.
In the face of such things, the malignity of the Stan
dard is only exceeded by his impkdaue.

THE VANDERBILT.
Having stated the fact in our last, that the Ya
dtrbilt, one of the Wilmington and Charleston
Steamers, had been pronounced un-eea-worthy, by
the Port Wardens of the latter City, we think it
right to mention that a Certificate has subsequently
appeared in the papers, signed by a number of Pas
sengers, stating that on a rough passage just accom
plished, she was found every wsy sea-worthy.
Ball Hughes, the artist has cast successfully his
Statue in Bronze of Dr. Bowditch. at the foundry
of Messrs. Goodwin & Ganett, in Boston. Hughes
has the distinction of having completed not only the
first bronze, but tbe first marble statue ever made in
America, (that of Gen. Hamilton.) His merit in
the bronze is as conspicuous as that of his marble
work. Ezchangt Paper.
We advise those interested in the Statue of Dr.
BewditcJL, to be careful how they make advances to
Hughes, for unless the pay and tbe work go on part
passu, they will find themselves taken in, judging
by the fraud which he practised on North Carolina,
about Canorous destroyed Statue of Washington.
Edit. Rxo.
A SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
Two little fellows, while skating recently on a
pond in Salem, fell through the Ice.- Their fall was
observed by some men on shore, who ran to their
assistance and rescued the lads from drowning.
Th eldest brother wss able to walk, but the other
was nearly exhausted. They were taken to their
mother's house, and as soon as the younger brother
was restored to speech, the first exclamation he
made was, " I wonder if Bill has saved my skates."
A BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE.
The Message of the Governor of New York shows
the Finances of that great State to be in an admi
rable condition. It has a School Fund of over two
minions, and stven hundred ond forty thousand chil
dren . attend the Common Schools. More than a
million of volumes are in their District School -Li
braries, which are open to the whole population.
The Normal School, for the education and improve
ment of Teachers only, is producing the best results.

. "Mr. Badgers speech, in the Senate; yesterday,
was a great affair. You will haTe seen that, imme

bicuu urenenu tun, mo measure "was killed. - 'This
was a great triumph to this eloquent Whig Senator,
and was mortifying to the friends of Mr. Benton as
it was gratifying to the friends of Taylor and Scott"
Tbe correspondent of. the N. Y. Express says:
"The Senate Chamber was crowded to-day to hear
a brilliant speech from Mr. Badger, of N. C. It is
spoken of in the highest terms orpraise as an able
and masterly speech. The rejection of the bill cre
ating the office of Lieut General, was not anticipated
by the Administration 'In the Senate. Bat defeat
meets Mr. Polk on all hands, and worse defeats re
main." i
Again on the next day, he says :
" The speech of Mr. Badger against the bill, I
hear commented upon all sides, as ona of uncommon
beauty, eloquence, interest and power. And now
Col. Benton and all "other aspirants for this place
may hang his Harp upon the Willow;" to each the
world will say :
"And thou Dalhousie, Great God of War,
Lieutenant General to the Earl of Mar,"
seek some higher ambition than that of pulling down
brave men, and men of high qualifications and exalted
patriotism, for the sake of your own glorification."

INTERESTING SCENE.
A few days since, at Tarboro', a splendid Flag
was presented to the Edgecomb Volunteers, through
Cspt Louis D. Wilson, who had temporarily re
turned from his Rendezvous, to beat up for Recruits.
What rendered the scene more impressive, was. that
the Presentation was made by one of the fair daughters
of Edgecomb, (Miss Hoieard) who delivered, on the
occasion, a most: beautiful and sensible Address.
W were particularly struck with this passage ;
" Accept then our Banner cherish, protect and
defend it to the death. May it ever be found in the
front rank of battle, " where the balls fly thickest
and blow fall heaviest." Remember that it is not
more the Flag of the brave, than the Flag of the
virtuous: and we implore you, in behalf of our sis
ters of Mexico, should the fortune of war place them
in your power, recollect that a noble courtesy, not
less than a high courage, characterizes the true
soldier. ' '
"Go, our hearts are with you." Our prayers
shall accompany you. Our plaudits shall hail your
successes and greet your return. If you fall, our
tears will embalm your memories."
Cspt Wilson having received the Flag, made a
neat and pertinent reply to the Address. He
promised them, in the language of the Address, to
" cherish, protect and defend it to the death." He
told them, whether it should be the fortune of his
Company to fall on the plains of Mexico, or exult in
triumph over their perfidious foe, from the Captain
to the humblest Private,, they would not forget to
look upon that Flag, and render their heartfelt
homage to the Ladies of Edgecomb.
DURATION OF THE WAR.
In the Senate, Mr. Sxvixb remarked, a few days
days ago, that the war was not yet fairly begun.
This he urged as a reason why the grant of 160 acres
of land to each Volunteer and soldier, should ,not
pass ' In reply to Mr. Setieb,
Mr. Badges said, he was'extremely sorry to hear
from the Senator from Arkansas, whose opportuni
ties for being well informed upon these topics was
exceedingly good, that we were yet at the beginning
of this war. He had hoped that we should by this
time have received assurances from some gentleman
on that side that the war was near its conclusion.
But the announcement of the honorable Senator that
it was only beginning wss, he thought,' conclusive
that this amendment ooght to pass, and be incorpora
ted in the bill. If the war had just begun, and they
found themselves under the necessity of calling upon
our patriotic citizens to enlist, not merely for a cer
tain period, but during the existence of the war, the
termination of which could not be discerned in the
dim and distant future ; if, while turning to our
patriotio citizens and calling on them to enlist, to
leave the comforts of home, and to incur the hazurds
of battle, not for a short period, but for a war which,
after the lapse of a year, has but just begun, was it
not important that they should hold out to them in
ducements for surrendering to their country their
persons, their happineas, their lives ? A still clearer
and more satisfactory -reason why this bill should
not pass without being accompanied by the -distinct
and unequivocal pledge of a bounty to the soldiers
who are called off to make all those painful sacrifices,
was afforded by tbe Senator himself. He was not
for separating the provision of a bounty frOm a bill
in which the soldiers were called on to enlist
If such was to be the character of the war. he wss
ready to vote- an (increase of the pay and land be

; THE.WiDOW OF NAIN.
"The only son of his mother, and she was a widow."
J be toothing incident in scriptural history
which has furnished the theme for so much poe
try, is very beautifully set forth in tne follow ing
hues which vie find in a New Haven Newspaper:
rorth Irotn the gates of IMain a funeral train in
mournful silence came. ' The sunset flush was
lingering still upon the hill around : the last de
oariiny rav of dav vet staved. tia?tn? the floating
clouds above with hues of crimson and of burn
ished gold, while heaven's pure azure seemed
more sofi and sweet amid those gorgeous tints ;
for nought witiiia the wide world's bound could
more entrance tbe soul than that sweet sunset
scene among Judea's hills and plains.
And yet death waa there, and even now on
swept his silent train. And he who lay the strick
en victim there, had died all glorious in hie man
ly pride -! he noble form, but half concealed be
neath the sable robe which wrapped it round
was cold and motionless yet oh, how beautiful
in death ! -The pale-and ashy lips, on which the
partiogr word seemed still to tremble low, were"
chiselled like Apollo's proud hut soft and
wore Ihe stamp of energy and strength ; the ra
diant eyes were glazed in death, in which once
shone ambition's fires, and gleamed youth's
bright and joyoua hopes in days . agone, andyet:
I bey seemed as closed in gentle' sleep ; and, mid
his rich and clustering hair which lay, as if in
life warm glow, upon the pall, so soft and , fair
it was, tbe low wind jnoveu, stirripg the ..curls
and wildly, flowing Joe ksaa wbeti uj.healihtbey
bad been' freely flung to woo its balmy breath
A ibing of light, too beautiful -he. seemed -to .(lie,
yet was he passing to his. last, Jong j home,, so
young and fair his widowed mother's only stay
and ehe now left alone to meet the worlu'a cold
frowns, and cheerless live. ; - '- .
Behind the bier, with: form bowed down and
bleeding heart she came ; and, as she gazed upon
her noble boy, struck down amid the flush of
youth's bright dreains--and saw the arm on
which it -was her wont to lean all stiff and palsied
now in death and looked in vain (into those dull,
glazed orbs, for the fond glance which there was
used to beam her bursting heart gave way;' she
bowed her bead upon the silent corse,. and wildly
wept in speechless agony and wb, .
'But, lo ! as onward swept the roomful train,
a band .of humble pilgrims . met . the weeping
throng ; and one among them came and touched
the bier. 'Twas He, tbe lowly, out-cast Naza
rene. His . mild blue eye looked, sadly 7011 the
group, and gushed from out his heart all that
pure love he brought from Heaven,- towards her
whose hope was gone was buried 'oeaitVthat
silent pall. The sad . procession stopped, and
they that bore the coree stood still. Jesus a mo
ment gazed upon that noble form, as rh her wo
the frantic mother had thrown back the pall from
off her stricken boy a moment looked on her,
who weeping hung upon the bier hen touched
the stiffened hand and calmly said, Arise. . At
that life giving word; the hue of health began to
steal upon th dead ; and, like the first faint flush
of dawn, the"-'warm blood mantled to the cheek
and brow, and light began' to beam from out tbe
eyes ; the lips,'jmt parted, caught a sunny smile;
and,; like the leaping wave, his bosom "heaved
beneath the habiliments of death which Jay upon
ItiV quickened form. . .. , -
Wuh piercing cry, ? He lices lie licts ' burst
from the mourner's lips, and on the Saviour's
breast she fell and wept. T - '
