THE SENTINEL,

Counties.
We have received information from Waynesboro'
.stating,
that on the 19th, a subscription was opened
that place for receiving Stock in a Company to be
jncorporaied by the next Legislature, (or the purpose
f buUdinff a Rail Road' from Raleigh through
Vaynesro' to Wilmington. Fifty-three thousand
have been subscribed, and it is supposed that
the subscription will ajfoount to 75,000, and perhaps
Rail-Roads. A pamphlet has been published in
jafrusta, (Geo.) by one of the Engineers on the
Charleston and Hamburg Rail-Road, addressed to
the ' Friends of Internal Improvement in the Sooth
cniStates.'' It consists mainly of an inquiry into the
cost an d plan of construction of that road, compared
with other roads in the country, and an argument
drawn from these premises, in favor of the superior
advantages which the South possesses over the North,
in establishing this kind of improvement.
. These advantages are, the greater abundance and
cheapness of good timber; the character of thecoun
try which, especially inthe pine regions within 100
miles of the sea-board, "requires a less undulating
profile; the absence of frosts, which at the north
create the necessity of large expenditures; the sav
ing of expense in the employment of slave labor,
which is put at 30 .per cent -r and the cheapness of
land, which frequently affords almost a 'gratuitous
ri,Tht of way. These inferences and calculations
are, sustained by a comparison between the actual
final cost of the South Carolina road, enjoying all
these advantages, with that of the most prominent
northern roads, in progress or completed. We make
the lo'iowmg tanie ol tne result, irom the pamphlet
which i published in the Charleston Courier of the
12th. In comparing the cost of the several works men
tioned, their character for permanency and durability
must of course be taken into view, in order to arrive
at a just estimate of their relative expense of con
struction. Length Cost per mile.

consideration. ; that in the South Carolina estimate,
$0,700 per mile, arp included all expenditures of eve
ry description, steam engines cars, &c. &c wlnle
in all the other estimates these are excluded, forming
additional items of charge. By these figures the
writer (Mr. A. A. "Dexter) makes the average cost of
Rail-Roads at the north not less than $ 30,000 per
mile, or more than four times more than that of the
South Carolina Rail-Road, and by inference than
Rail-Roads in general, in that part of the country.
He adds, that-althou&h the country through which
the South Carolina Rail-Road passes is one of the
poorest in the United States, yet a great improve
ment is already visible along the whole line. His
.calculations upon the increased value of the lands?
ive the average rise in price at $1 per acre within
two miles of the road, or upon 179,000 acres of land.
In some places land has risen 500 to 1000 per cent.

the receipts promise a similar result.
On the Susquehanna Rail Road, the comparative
receipts show a like gratifying increase on-both
roads the receipts arc' certainly far beyond what
could have been expected especially for travelling,
while the portion of road completed and in use, is
so small a part of the whole extent originally con-

The number of persons travelling daily on the
Kail-Roadetween Baltimore and Fredrick, is ten
fold the average of those that travelled in stages on
the turnpike road between those cities previous to the
construction of the Rail-Road. An increase of tra
velling between Baltimore and Washington in one
half the abovelproportion say five-fold would give
the Rail-Road Company a daily receipt of more
than a tlwusnd dollars, and most probably four hun
dred, thousand dollars a year, one fourth of which
amount would be sufficient to pay all the current and
incidental expenses even at a greater proportion
ate rate than the statement for the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail-Road but even if the expense should be
half these receipts, there would be sufficient to pay
ten per cent, per annum to the Stockholders,
f Let those who may think the above an exaggera
ted estimate, reflect, that it will only require 250 pas-
senuersin each direction daily to justify it and that
one-third of the uumber pass now daily in each direc

Petersburg Rail Rcd :
" Much has been said on the subject of large mar

pride, we shouldbe glad to see them, but at least it is
more a matter of pride than substantial good." This Anson,
is very feeble reasoning. As loner as we are a Staid Ashe.

A vessel from Barcelona, stopping at this port for

addressed the house in the following words : " Gen

The inhabitants of the town were surprised on
Friday evening last, by the erection of certain
strange tnc-tracs on the Academy green, nd their
astonishment was not lessened by the information,
that itwas the work of a conjurer, who invited all
to come and see his wonderful feats. He walked up
a rope lorty leet m the air, fimJ then leisurely down
its steep descent, where it was expected that he
would "go by the run." He swallowed knives,
balanced plates, performed various wonders by the
aid of his irresistible pstb, veni, come 'and conclu
ded with the very successful trick of a collection of
loose cash, thus avoiding the county tax upon artifi
cial curiosities.
Oh no sir ! It is after
thirty, that success is most uncertain. Mr. Presi
dent, I have an acquaintance, who shortly after he
had passed that period, and not having lost any of
his beauty, Q,uere, by the printer's devil: did he
have any to lose ? he offered his heart and hand to
a certain young lady. ' What Mr. Pres: do you think
was the result ? Why sir, he was dismissed with as
little ceremony, as you would drown a blind kitten f
and the upshot of the affair is, that Mr. Flebilis has
dwindled to a mere shadow. And has his face, ("the
great index of the mind,") remained stationary?
Mr. President, repeal this law and you shall see that
face yes sir! that face is actually the one twenty
fourth part of an inch longer than Mr. Macror'sl"
Mr. Misericors having ended, President Melancholi
cus put the motion be&rq the house, when tt was

" Most willingly," replied Moeror, and spoke as
follows:
"My father was 1 very well off,' (if I may use the
expression) and knowing the advantages of a good
education, he neglected no opportunity which offered
for my instruction. In my twentieth year I finished
my studies, and returned home to take my stand, and
play ray destined part in the great theatre of life.
Gentlemen, you have all doubtless, experienced the
period 1 speak of. Then it is, that the star of hope
greets your eye,'when you cast your first virgin glance
upon the world. There is no gloom, no darkness in
that first moment of manhood. The bright star of
hope is shedding it's soft streams of light over every
portion of the Universe? all is light, all is beauty,
all is harmony, Where shall I direct my footsteps!
happiness is on every side and beckons me to eniov-
ments. My senses are bewildered, as if the odare of
a thousand suns were upon me! Hark ! feel I not the
tremblings ol a volcano? hear I not the rushing of
the melted lava, and the shout of the coming earth
quake? Passed there not a phrenzied cry upon the
uusiy winos f ...... . enough ! enough ! it is a
picture of my life.
