-We hate waited with tery considerable patience,
to sea. whether the "Standard" would do Got. Gra
ham, the Whig Legislature, and Col. Paine, the
justice to publish Gen. Wool's late Letter to Mr.
Senator Badger. We do not think we can be mis
taken in the assertion, that not a Loco Foco Press
in the State has copied so honorable a tribute to the
qualifications and character of the Chief Officers of
oar Regiment whilst every anonymous article, cal
culated to disgrace the Regiment and the State, has
been eagerly snapped up, inserted, and commented
uDon This unfair, ungenerous, and unjust conduct,
contrasts most strangely with the professions of res
pect for the honor of the State, which have been in
dulged in by these exclusive guardians of its char
acter. They profess to think that the reputation of
the State, has I been degraded and lowered by the
conduct of its Regiment , in Mexico, and yet with
hold the evidence, by which the falsity of the allega
tion is proved.) We should really be gratifieid, if
we supposed that this omission' to publish Gen.
Wool's letter had been occasioned by the "com
punctions visi tings of conscience," on the part of
Loco Foco Editors, which must have marshalled up
in. hideous army their attempts to produce insubor
dination and mutiny in the Regiment But though
we have a pretty broad spirit of Charity, and are
disposed to be generous, even when others are not
just, we cannot resist -the conclusion, that this sup
pression of Gen. Wool's Letter, and of other strong
testimony to the character of our Regiment and its
Officers, is a premeditated and concerted plan to
withhold from the people, as far as possible, every
fact calculated to dispel the prejudice and delusion
on this subject, which has been so industriously
souaht to be established. How different was the
conduct of the Whig Press, . with regard to Lieut
Sisgeltary's Statement? That was copied by
many Whig papers, against even their convictions
of propriety, for fear unintentional injustice might
be done. But, in the case of Gen. Wool's Letter,
it is studiously suppressed, lest justice should bo ac
corded where it is due.

Q. C. Raboteau Esq. Editor N.-CTimes.
Sir, I regret very much th necessity that com
pels me to reply to some Editorials of yours, re
lative to the delay of merchantdize ou the Rail
roads and to a recent communication iu your pa
per from the President of the Raleigh .and Gas
ton Railroad, ou the same, subject from which it
would appear that a good deal of it was on our road.
I have no doubt that goods have been occa
sionally delayed on our road, and this will often
happen in a press of business, such as we bad
last Fall ; but there is an abundance of proof that
there was no such delay, nor any thing like it as
might be inferred from the articles in your paper.
Indeed the fact that our road is in better order
and better equipped with engines and cars, and
our company generally more prosperous, than
ever it was. ought to satisfy you that we have
the ability to du the transportation as fast as can
be reasonably expected. But I will send you the

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
ItwHl no doubt bj gratifying to the friends of
Temperance and Morality, to learn that the Order
of the Sons of Temperance in North Carolina, is
progressing, and that during the last six months, it
has advanced more than for the three, years prece
ding. Several new Divisions have in that time been
instituted ; men of the highest character and stan
ding in the State have taken hold of the work, and
therprospect of its extession through our entire li
mits is becoming every day brighter. "But we are
satisfied that an acquaintance with the Principles of
the Order, would ensure for it a more speedy en
trance upon the good work of the many Philan
thropists and thorough Temperance men with which
the good old North State abounds. We call, then,
upon everjf friend of humanity to give us their aid
in accomplishing the laudable, beneficent and philan
thropic designs, which it is the object of this Order
to effect By it the most virtuous cannot be sullied,
so pure are its principles ; the exalted in talent And

The next Session of the Grand Division of North
Carolina, will beheld in Fayetteville, on the 20th

I would remark, however, forthe information of the
Public, that communications relativo to the Order,
asking information or otherwise, if addressed to Al
exander M. Gorman, Grand Scribe, Raleigh, will
meet with the most prompt attention.' G. S.

LOCO FOCO MOVEMENTS.
The " Philadelphia News" has intelligence from
Washington, that Mr. Dallas means to give way
to Gen. Cass for the Presidency. The " News'
Lkught M)4-i.a3 had store pkrck than to sur
render even before the bayonets began to bristle.
The "News" has also advices from Washington,
that all the Loco Foco aspirants will be laid aside,
viz: Dallas, Buchanan, Cass and Woodbury;
and that the Hon. Louis McLane will be brought
upon the course. The u News" adds : " The plans
and purposes of the leaders in this project, have not
come to a head, and it is not intended to make any
immediate demonstration. The divisions between
Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Dallas, &,c, will be encour-
aged, and such a state of feeling cultivated, as will
pave the way for a compromise candidate. We might
mention the names of certain prominent and shrewd
politicians in this City, who favor this movement,
but forbear. We have sketched the outline, and
leave the reader to fill up the picture."

n7-The "Petersburg Intelligencer" states that
the Petersburg and Roanoke Rail Road is doing a
very successful business. For the year ending 30th
September, the gross receipts of the Road were
S179.8G7 04, and the expenses $99,865 C2 leaving
a net income of $80,002 32. This paid a dividend
of G$ per cent., and left a surplus of $30,834 S2,
which, with other means on hand, was sufficient to
pay all the debts of the Company, ind leave a sur
plus of more than $10,000.
the agent at Gaston, written at the time thede-
lays complained occurred, are selected trom, a
number of the same tenor, to show you that we
sent the goods but to Gaston much faster than
they were taken away, and that in consequence
of their filling up the warehouse there, we actu
ally could not send them out as fast as we de
sired. What made the case harder on us it, that
the Raleigh and Gtstou road has no warehouse
at Gaston, and we bad to store the goods in ours,
to the serious delay of our river business, as you
will see by the Ictiers. u ,
But 1 with to show you that the particular
cases of delay cited in your paper as having hap
pened on our road, or having appearance ot hav
ing happened ou it, were occasioned by causes
beyond our control. In ono of your papers, (I
quote from memory as it is not before me,) you
stated that you received a bill of 2 bundles of pa
per sent you, October 8th, by Davenport and Al
len of Richmond, and not receiving them, you
wrote to the Agent at G tston concerning them,
who replied ou the 2Gih October, that the boxes
had reached Gaston on the 23rd and the paper on
the 25th. Now this was all very true ; but there
were other facts connected with this case, which
place it in a very different light. In the first
place, I can find no paper entered ou our books to
your address ; but it aupears from tho enclosed
letter of Davenport and Aileu (C) that they sent
'tbe paper' ou the 8th October, to the care of
R. Furman, P. M. Frank luiiou.' Paper D is the
receipt given them by the agent of the Richmond
and Petersburg railroad, which it merely for two
bundles ot paper to be sent to 1? rauklinton. Pa
per E is a duplicate receipt which our agent gave
the agent of the Richmond and Petersburg Co.,
October 15V when be delivered sundry arti
cles to our road for transportation, among which
13 ' two bundles of paper K. t urman, Franklin,-
Ion. According to our boooks this was entered
and sent out the l&h October. As to the state
ment of our agent that your paper did not reach
Gaston until the 2o;h, he must have been mis
taken, but it was a very natural one, as will appear
fromlbe following facts : Papers L- & G. show that
on the 19th and 2Uth October, we received from
a house in this place two boxes for you, and ac
cording to our books, these bqxes were sent out
on the 23rd. But that date was Saturday, a day
on which we never send out goods to Gaston ex
cept in a press of business, (our days are Mon.
days, Wednesdays and rrtdays tor the trains to
go out, and return on the other days.) and it is
auite Drobable that one of vour boxes did not
reach Gaston until the 25ih, and the agent find-
in? no paper entered to you, must hive conclud
ed it was in that box. This explanation is ren
dered more probable by the fact, that the boxes
which were received bv us after the paper, could
hardly have reached Gaston before it.
The next important .case of delay is one men
tioned bv Mr. llollister.' He does not state that
it occurred on our road, but it might be inferred
from his letter that it did so ; he -says that 'a
merchant of Raleigh on the 12th ot October,
bought of a house (in Petosburg) two crates of
crockery, both entered on the same bill of sales,
one crate was entered on a bill of lading of the
14th, &c- when on the 17th November, 34 days
after the first entry, came a bill of lading for tho
second crate.'
The names, of the parties are hot 6tated. but I
know it to be the case satisfactorily explained by
C? Extract of a letter from Delaware to a gen
tleman in this City : -:We are friends of Mr. Clay
in this region, very willing, however, to transfer our
support to "Old Rough and Ready," as we are sat
isfied that it is a " fixed fact' that Mr, Clay, the
embodiment of our principles as well as our affections,
cannot unite the opposition, and will not therefore
consent to be a candidate. So long as a probable
chance existed that he could be elected, our cry was

the papers H. 1. & K Paper II- shows that we
only received one crate ou the 12th of October,
and I. shows rhat we received the other on the
IQth of Nocember. Finally, paper R. is a letter
from the merchant who sent the crates, -si a ting
as the reason why tbe other was not sent at the
time, that he was waiting to get certain articles
from the iNorth to complete the order.
Mr. llollister states further, that a merchant of
your county received a bill of salt in August and
after a period of almost two months, his consignor
intormeu him it was still in Petersburg.
I dont know what this case was, but if it is
meant-that the salt was 6tiil in our depot, it is
qutte likely it was, for it may have been sent
there late in August to take advantage of the low
rates ou salt which are nearly 30 per cent low
er in August and other months than in September
and Octoberf and we of course could not carry it
out in those months when the other goods had
the preference, or which is more likely, it msy
have been detained there by us, because of tho
great quantity of salt for the Raleigh road, which
had already accumulated in the warehouse at
Gaston. The enclosed letter L. from the agent
at that place, will show you that salt we sent out
in May and June was not all carried away until
November.
But Mr. Llollister states that salt and iron was
a good deal delayed on his road, and he grves you
a satisfactory explanation ot it- "Some of the
causes of delay which he mentioned may nouhp
pen again. The other causes it is entirely in
the power of the good people of your Stale tore
move. They own the Raleigh and Gaston road,
and the complaints of delays is -a proof of its great
and increasing importance to them, rt they will
only put the road in good condition, and furnish
the engines and cars to carry the goods trom Gas

you will have very few delays to complain of, for
the future. As far as our road is concerned, we

new locomotive and are daily expecting' another

CONGRESS.
We have, as usual, received no direct intelli
gence from Washington for about a week, but
live find in the Petersburg Intelligencer, brought
by the Ia6t mail, the following items of Coneres-
iorial news, communicated for that paper by the
jalagnetic telegraph:
I In tho Senate, Jan. 10, 1343, Mr. Ilannczarf
offered resolutions declaring that no treaty of
peace ought to be made which did not secure to
us a boundary susceptible of military defence
that no monarchical government can be allowed
in Mexico and that Mexico ought not to be held
by the United States as a province.
Tbe Senate resumed tbe consideration of the
order of the day, being the bill to raise for a lim
ited time, an additional military force, usually
called the ten regiment bilL
Mr- Reverdy Johnson being entitled to the
floor, a large concourse of spectators had asseui
bled to hear him.
Mr. Johnson spoke with great force and elo
quence in favor of the passage of the bill. ,
. Mr. J. said he regretted that he differed with
Senators on his side, on this or any other subject.
But whilst he felt the ties of party and acknowl-edgd-vtem,
they musTererr 1n hia mind, give
way to the higher consideration, of duty tocoun
iry, and the honor and glory of those who may
fight its battles.
After the House was duly organized, the
Speaker annoniiced that the first business in or
der was the further consideration of the resolu
tions relative to the transportation of the Rich
mond mail, as amended at the last Bession of the
Committee. .
An engrossment of the resolutions, as amended,
was refused, aud they were 'fhialiy dropped alto
gether. The- House then, on motion, resolved itself in
to a committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, and Mr. J. K Ingersoll was appointed to
the Chair.
Mr. Andrew Stewart, of Pa., obtained the floor,
when the Committee rose, and tiie House ad
jourcied. In the Senate on the 11th, Mr. Dayton sub.
milted a resolution calling upon the President for
copies, of lekters from General Scott and Taylor
relative to levying forced contributions upon Mex
ico. . 1 ' -j
Mr. Baldwin submitted a resolutiof calling up
on the President for copies of lhcy6orresuodence
between Mr. Trist and me Mexican commission
ers during the armistice.
The resolution of Mr. Mason, restoring to tne
Editors of the Union, the privilege of Scces'a to
the floor of the Senate Chamber, was taken up
and parsed.
The Senate then passed to the order of the day,
being the bill for raising ten additional regiments
f. regulars.
fldr. Reverdy Johnson resumed his remarks,
and took up the second division of his subject,
viz : the conduct of the President in the prosecu
tion of the war.
Mr. Johnson denounced the manner in which
the war-had been prosecuted. There had been
witnesses in attendance.
A long and critical examination of alHbe facts
of the affair thereupon ensued, in whichhis
Honor, exibited his well known legal tact.
