fe? One of our friends tn the eastern
part of the county, writes as follows :
No excitement as to rail roads or poli
tics. .No one who knows the
real condition of the finances of the
State, and this condition has been studi
ously kept from the public eye," can
entertain so wild a project as the Rail
Road frcm Charlotte to Goldsboro'.

The last session of the Legislature exhi
bits a most flagrant waste of the means
anil credit of the State, without any cor
responding good."
OCT A mountain cotemporary ha9,
without courtesy or the fear of the dog
law before his nose, "wrote us down an
ass," afier the fashion of Dogberry.
His canine self has become so rabid, a
thing not unusual in the dog days, as to
show his teeth, and all the symptoms of
madness, from the drooping ol the tail to
the foaming at the mouth, and an occa
sional howl, that can only be suppressed
by our "braying." We fear the Magis
trate ol Police will havo to knock the
Door animal in the head: if he does, hp
will please send us the scalp, which
shall find a place in a cabinet ol curiosi
ties we are preparing in our stable loft.
Hut this aside; we remember hearing
an anecdote told once ol a dissipated
lawyer misbehaving in a plate of public
worship, who was rebuked by the minis
ter's threat to appear against him on the
ctay of Judgment; his reply was "1 have
practised for twenty years in the courts
of my country, and have always known
thp nroaisoi moxil , in.. .t..t ......
dence." Our cotemporary having tried
all parties, and he is now said to be most
a democrat by his broth' r whigs, actu
seus of once " trying t be a re.specta
b!e coon," in 1810, we presume.wben
we supported Harrison in preference to
VanBuren, which act we have never been
near as sorry for as some who voted for
Ty ler, if we had known the Editor a
that time, and he had been a "coon," we
Khould have despaired of any respecta
bility from the alliance ; for we could
have ascertained from ihe natural de
posites of our mind" what was on the
surface o( his. "Honest scorn and con
tempt" may have been our very modest
friend's first emotions, and they may be
ours now, but he has a bud way ol show
ing it, if we judge trora actions. We
think it has been told to " saddle me an
iss, and they saddled him.1'
Wo commenced our discussion in a
proper feeling of disgust for Southern
men who would attempt to ridicule the
honorable and patriotic, even if too hasty
action of a sister state and e find our
opponent's principles, conceived in ig
norance,y use no harsher term. matured
in manners which may suit some ideas
ol uenuiuy, out really so iuixottc as to
render it necessary to pull trigger once
more, regardless whether our pop gun
snaps or goes off, lor the load is regula
lea according to the smaiiness ol the
game, uood bye, bancho ; let y our
Banner still fljat on, " like wanton boys
who Hat on bladders," you'll find them
all, like yonraelf, but a puff of wind

OrThere are in the United States 30
synods of the Lutheran Church, five of
which are in Pennsylvania. The first
synod, the 8 nod of Pennsylvania, was
established in 1747; 'he next, the sy nod
of New York, in 1785 ; and the third,
the synod of North Carolina, in 1802
Of the thirty synods, fifteen only are
connected with the General Synod. The
whole embrace ti63 ministers, 1,604
churches, 200,000 communicants, and a
population of one million. Iri our own
