The Pleasant Gardens. Hear ing bo much said of these beautiful retreats, daring our stay at Marion, last week, we took occasion to ride out one evening as far as Col. J. L. Carson's, at the confluence of Buck Creek and the Catawba, about three miles freru the village. Though the weather was ghxnny, clouding to some extent,! the delightful scenery which surrounds 'this Mountain " Paradise,' ye.t'the sweep of our vision took in enough of the landscape to impress us with a measure of the rural felici ty which variagated flower gardens, and ' tastefully arransred thrubberv. and verdant stn ams, and green hills, and the tips of blue Mountains away in the distance, are calcula ted to impart. The dwelling of Col. Carson is commodi ous and well arranged, standing in the cen tre of a spacious green lawn, enlivened by the low murmurs of Buck Creek rippling around the walli of the enclosure which, under the j direction of a lady of unsurpassed taste, has J been checkered all over with a profusion of j choice shrubs and rare flowers, so arranged I as Ui display their beauties to the be.t ad- ! vantage. j The Colonel and his estimable lady extend a wclcoine. alike to tLc weary truvd I ler, the s.,ial visitor, and the votary of pica- ' , , . . , , sure who n.ay seek their hosjutality.

T. L. Cllngman vs. Badger & Co. On the 8th inst., Ir. Clingmart who has undertaken to unmask the Haleigh clique, and expose the corruption of the whig re- ; gency in North Carolina, who have proved i unfaithful to the institutions of the south, i appeared before the citizens of McDowell, and conclusively showed the unsoundness of j whig doctrines as taught by Badger & Co. After an able defence of his own position, as a Western Carolinian, planting himselfTup- which have always been contended for by the democrats on the subject of slarery, and repudiating whiggery as shadowed forth by Badger & Co:, he announced himself a candidate for Congress; and, although he ' ,no I-0!'10 regardless ot all the opposition threatened by the whig leaders uud:r the influence of the Raleigh junto. He referred to the charge made against him by, those Western members who voted j for 1 nd thouch he showed no dis- ' O I iauizer po-sition to rctalliate upon them, he placed ' . . Ifculger and all identified with him, in any thing but a comfortable category. When Mr. Clingman closed, Gen. Pat terson, a perfect gentleman in his deport ment, arose and replied. 'He treated. Mr. Clingman with due courtesy, though he made some severe thrusts at his position i as a candidate before the Legislature. He wnsneJ ' himself chiefly to the defence of himgeIf wL;ch he diJ whh abilitj and in but Le put Jn no plJa for tbe pp;n;on3 of BaJgcr 0f which, doubtless, he ... n i r is secretly ashamed. Gen. Patterson was listened to with respect, and made a favora ble impressoin upon the audience; though it was evident the popular voice was with Mr. Clingman. The rejoinder of the latter which had commenced with great power, was cut short. by the appearance of the Judge, to j resume the business of the Court. Mr Caldwell took the occasion, 'before His Honor took his seat, to announce that he had something to say in reply to Mr. Cling man ; but that he would embrace some other opportunity. Mr. Clingman said that he would be most happy to meet his friend at his earliest convenience. Taylorim Sinking. The late elections in dicate that Taylorism is rapidly sinking into the obscurity from which, like a mushroom, it sprung into existence. All the four mem bers from Connecticut, were whigs in tho last Congress j now . three of them, are demo crats and only one' is a whig. " Of thefifteen members from Virginia,' the' democrats had but nine, and the whigs six ; whereas now, the democrats have foarteenVand the whigs only one, (the Standard ." says, only a Jialf,) making a difference, in these two states alone, of sixteen members in favor of Democracy ! If the political complexion of the remain ing sixty-six members yet to be elected, be ,j,o n nrnh oWnfTTrlrrmninrir of last Congress, will be reduced to nine ; and of, these, which are to come from North i Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland, Texas, Ohio, Massachusetts, and llhode Is land, the democrats can get but five, the House as well as the Senate, will be demo cratic. Who can doubt, therefore, since Tajdor has so shamefully forfeited his. pledges, made to secure democratic support; ! and has proven himself so utterly incompe tent to discharge the duties, of the officerthat the Republican gains will be sufficient to save the Constitution from prost rat km by the Federal leaders who undertook to fcrawl into power b- assuming the specious name of irJu'ff, and bv making pledges that tLev i . Let the country rejoioo let the South take heart let the people be congratulated let Connecticut an dr irginia, that faithful old van-guard of Jefjforsonian democracy, re ceive the plaudits of republicans every where. The false glory of Taylor's military fame has been obscured Vy his imbecility as a civilian. He has been weighed in the balance and found wanting." The people are sending democrats' to Congress to take care of the Constitution ; and the thousands of republi cans who have, from time to time, wandered into 4he Federal ranks, are returning to co- . . . operate with the democrats whose policy is a faithful adherance to the constitution. We welcome them to the standard of xluty ; and, with our whole hearts, we , will unite with them to preserve this glorious union from Badger intrigues with abolition minions, from Anti veto Prnvisuista, or from any other schemes, that would subvert our liberties, or establish a privileged order m America.

The Washington Union contains the fol lowing letters from old Mr Hitchcock, who has been dismissed from the office of Post master at West Troy, New York, by President Taylor, on account of his political opinions : " Post Office, West Troy, Albany county, n. Y., April 26, 1849. Sir: As I am an old man, and my wife has only nine children, I thought of writing to the postmaster General and confess my political sins. But while I was writing the within document, my successor came in with his axe in his hand and told me he would cut raJ hcad off in thrce or four daJs- 1 c n 1 I T 1 t.x T , .. .

I saw a notice in the Union, the other day, requesting to be informed when a head was cut off; so you will see that my head will come off on next monday. Yerv respectfully, yours, J. HITCHCOCK, Postmaster yet .N. B. Don't stop my union, although my head is off. Post Office, West Troy, Albany county, N. Y., April 26, 1849. Sir: As these are the days of reform, you will exense me for troubling you with the ' following lines: I have had the honor of holding the office of postmaster of this vil lage under the late administration, and shall hold it as long as you see fit; for you know it is not customary for good officers to die or "ifg11 in this knd of liberty. Now, sir, I mil icuiuic - w sojr iifeie is uui one ui my whig friends but would rather I should hold the office, unless it is those that want it themselves. For my part, I have nothing to say; for the doctrine is to the victors be long the spoils. It is true, my father served almost eight years in the continental army; and for myself, I served as a volunteer in the war of 1812, which tried men's souls. I also nominated General Taylor immediate ly after the battle of Palo Alto; but he being n t an ultra whig, and myself not an ultra democrat, I of course voted for my old friend Gen. Cass. . ; " --.

According to previous notice, there was a meeting of the citizens of Cabarus County, on monday of the May term of the Supe rior Court, to take iutof consideration the subject of Internal Improvements in North Carolina, and particularly the scheme Of the Central Rail Road. On motion, Gen '1 W. C Means was called to the Chair. ' ' On motoin Jno, A. Bradshaw was appoin ted Secretary. At the request of the Meeting, R. Bar ringer, Esq. addressed it on the Central Rail Road project, and reiterated his opin ions previously made known to the public. II. C. Jones, " Jos. II. Wilson Dan'l Coleman, and Jno. M. Long, Esqrs., were successively called on and advocated at some length, with much warmth, the objects of the meeting. The information given by Mr. Wilson, one of the Directors of the Charlotte and South Carolina Rail Road, jn regard ' to the prospects of that enterprise, was highly gratifying to its nuimrous friends. Mr. E. R. Harris then offered the following Resolutions which were unanimously adppt ted. ' ' Resolved, That the conscqiences of that policy which North Carolina has hitlibrto pursued in regard to Internal Improvements, cannot be to deeply deplored a policy which has placed her far hchiad her sister, States in all the elements ot public great ness a policy which has driven thousands of her inhabitants reluctantly from her -borders, and offered no inducements to. immi gration a policy which, worse than all,' has kept buried from herself and- the world .the fruits of her vast and varied resources,! and that, therefore, we highly approve and com mend the liberal and enlightened course of the last Legislature, in taking, the initiative step to rescue the State from present l-eprpach future depopulation to awake into life and activity her undeveloped energies, ; and and to make North Carolina as eminently tha seat of future prosperity and content ment, as she is now the home of law. and order Resolved, That the project of a Rail Road from Charlotte via Salisbury and Raleigh, to Goldsboro', sweeping as it does the whole' central breadth of the State, and promising to extend its arms and its benefits on either side to the sea-board and to the mountains unites more nearly the interests of every section than any plan of State Improve ment which could have been devised, : and on that acount should receive the cordial surmort of ail her mtriotic: citizens: that nwe believe this project, to which the State hs liberally contributed her aid, to be cn-1 tiraiy practicaDie, 1,1 met Dy a corresponding liberality on the part of the people; j and that w,e 'have no hesitation in saying to our friends, elsewhere, that when the rime for action arises,' the people of Cabarus toiU do tlieir duty towards completing tin's great enterprise. ' I Resolved, That we approve of frequent meetings of the people and free public; dis cussions on this subject; and, to this end that forty delegates be appointed to attend the Internal Improvement Convention tp be held in Salisburry. in June next. Under the third Resolution, the following gedtlemen were appointed delegates, viz ; Geo. Bamhardt, Dan'l Miller. Jno. Shinpock, E. R. Harris, W, S. Harris W. W. Ran kin, Jno.
