jLLisBTET, Jwn 15i, 1849.
i Mr. Editou : In comoliance with vonr rrnupst.
I will endeavor to furnish you with an outline of
the proceedings of the Internal Improvement Con
vention, which has just closed its sittings in this
place. ;: - ' : - ' : '
The meeting orthat body had been looked to for
some time past with the most intense interest, by
the friends of the. Central Rail Road, as determin
ing, to a considerable extent, the probable success
Or failure of that great -enterprise. - It affords me
indescribable pleasure, my deni sir, to announce
that the Conventionui everyrespect the num
bers, intelligence and respectability of its members,
its zeal and its harmony of action was all that
even me most 'sanguine cou1 Id have desired.
Twenty-odd Counties in this State, and the Cities
of Norfolk and Portsmouth, id Virginia, were reg
ularlr renresented by some 225 Delegates, while
jpoany gentlemen of character hnd mfluence, from
otner ijounues, were in cousiaui auenaance on me
sittings of the Convention, but who did not feel
themselves formally authorized to participate in its
proceedings. Fortunately, every interest connect
ed with this work was represented from Char
lotte, Salisbury and Wilkesboro, to Norfolk, New
bern and WUmington.
The Delegates met yesterday at 11 o'clock, A.
M., in the Lutheran Church, and were tempora
rily organize 1 by the appointment of Jno. D. Haw
kins,Esq.,of Franklin,as Chairman, and J. Clarke
and J. J. Bruner, as Secretaries. A Committee,
consisting of Messrs. J. W. Osborne, Rufus Bar
ringer, C. L. HintonJ. B. Lord and J. W. Ellis,
was appointed to select permanent Officers for the
Convention, who reported : For President, Ex
Governor. Jno. M. Morehead, of Guilford; Vice
Presidents, Gen. Alexander McRae, of New Han--over
; Col. Daniel Coleman, of Cabarrus ; Wm.
Boylan, Esq., of Wake ; Dr. W. R. Holt, of Da
vidson ; Col. John McLeod, of Johnston ; and
Dr. E. C. Robinson, of Norfolk; and for Secre
taries, John N. Washington, of Craven;' Albert
Torrence,of Chatham; and D. A. Davis, of Rowan.
The address of the President was, in all respects,
worthy the importance of the occasion and the high
reputation of the man.
In order to concentrate, as much as possible, the
various interests, wishes and feelings represented
in the Convention, a General Committee of 30, or
thereabouts, was appointed, to consider of and re
port upon the different measures to be acted on by
the Convention. This Committee consisted of
Gen. Alexander McRae Wm. Boylan, W. R.
Holt, D. Coleman, John McLeod, J. W. Ellis,
Gov. Swain, Gov. Graham, James W. Osborne,
Geo. W. Mordecai, David F. Caldwell, H. C.
Jones, Rufus Barringer, James Griswold, John
W. Thomas, John W. Hawkins, Maj. C. L. Hin
ton, F. J. Hill, Dr. Samuel Holt, J. B. Lord, E.
R. Stanly, Dr. McClanahan, Jonathan Worth,
R. J. McDowell, J. R. Gardon, John A. Gil
mer; William C. Means, H. Whitney, L. B.
CarmichaeL
On motion of Gov. Swain, the President of the
Convention was added to this Committee.
A number of Resolutions were now offered by
Messrs. Hawkins, Osborne and Gilmer, touching
the business of the Convention all of which were
referred to the above Committee. The Conven
tion thereupon took a recess, for the purpose of al
lowing the Committee to meet in the same place,
it being understood its discussions would be free
and public. Judge bilhs was called to tne Chair,
and tne " Ball opened." Mr. Gilmer ledff with
a proposition to raise forthwith a sum of money
sufficient to .survey the entire route, and to employ
an efficient Agent to canvass the State for. sub
scriptions to the stock of the Road. He was fol
lowed by a trio of Ex-Governors Morehead, Gra
ham and Swain-reach of whom discussed in an
able manner, the importance and practicability of
me wore, tne provisions oi tne lunarter, ana tne
various plans that, had been suggested for raising
the million of stock. The two former confidently
relied upon an appeal to the interests and patriot
ism of the mass of the people, and believed the
Stock could be secured in that way, if efficient
measures were adopted. The latter pressed, with
great ability, a proposition which probably origi
nated with himself and which has.attracted much
attention, of getting a hundred men, in the first in
stance, to take and secure the entire million, and
then these hundred men to let out the stock to the
proprietors of the soil along the line of the Road,
to be paid for in contracts lor work. All of these
gentlemen' thought a survey of the route, in ad
vance of an organization ofthe Company, as like
ly to result in no practical good. The Company,
no doubt, would select the most eligible route, and
wherever the line might be located, the Road, when
built, would answer the wants of the great mass
of our people, and of the travelling public. There
is no use, therefore, in quarrelling in advance about
its passing this or that particular village or farm.
10 o'clock.
This (Fnday) morning, "the business ofthe Con-
vcntion was delayed for a short time, for the want
of a report from the general Committee; during
which time, addresses were delivered by Mr. Roun
saville Mr. Lillington, and others. .The report of
the Committee was made through the Chairman,
Judge Ellis, who accompanied it with a few ex
planatory remarks. The Resolutions reported by
the Committee, commend in strong terms the ac
tion of the late Legislature on the subject of Inter
nal Improvements, and particularly its passage of
the Charter for the Central Rail Road; they ex
press the opinion tha while this Charter is defec
tive in some particulars, in the main its provisions
are amply sufficient for all practical purposes, and
ought to be secured by the people interested ; and
to that end, the Commissioners appointed for that
purpose are requested td open Books at the differ
ent places designatedafter due advertisement, for
the spate, of thirty days, for subscriptions to the
Stock of said Road ; and the great mass of our
people are most earnestly appealed to, to unite m
securing thIllirvf Stock, and thereby' save the
Charter; all are' invoked to subscribe 'though the
amounts should be as small as single shares. They
further appoint an Executive Committee of three
persons, and direct the appointment of sub-committees
in each County interested in the work, and
also the further appointment of such Committees
in every Captain's Company, in, order ..thoroughly
to arouse our people jon this subject; and. thrse
sub-committees are requested to keep up a regular
correspondence with the Executive Committee, so
that the public may biow how the work is advan
cing; and should the Stock not be thus taken.lhe
Executive Committeel are authorized to employ a
general Agent, to canvass the State and solicit sub
scriptions for the Road. Finally, the Resolutions
express the opinion, that the requirement of the
3th Sectioa ofthe Charter, directing the sum of
$500,000 to be paid m by individuals before the
State subscribes at all, can be as well complied with
by the bona fide execution of contracts for work
and materials to that amount, as by the payment
of money; and they recommend to the Directors,
who may be hereafterj elected, should the Compa
ny be organized, the propriety and justness of gk
Tine preference, in the letting of contractSi to stock
holders, when their terms are, equal -in all other
respects. j
In support of these Resolutions, Gov. Gra
ham addressed the Convention at length, in an
able and statesman-like style. Mr. Clemmons,
of Davidson, was not entirely satisfied ' with
the view the Committee had taken of the 36th
Section. He thought a much easier way of com
plying with that Section would be, for the Com
pany to file in the office of its Treasurer, the bonds
or obligations of its stockholders, with approved
sureties, to the amount of $500,000, and the State
could then be forthwith called upon for its pro
portionate share of Stock. Mr. Clarke, of Rowan ,
and Mr. Thomas, of Davidson, seemed to incline
to the same opinion. Mr. Osborne here insisted,
that, in the midst of so much doubt in the minds
of legal and other gentlemen on this perplexing
question, it were lar better that no opinion at all
should be expressed by the Convention. Mr.
Gilmer repliecf, that for this very reason the Con
vention should at onch meet and decide the ques
tion. The popular mind should be freed from any
doubt on the subject, j The Convention took a re
cess for an hour and a half.
On assembling again. Mr. Mordecai.of Raleigh,
(who draughted thlsj Resolution) took the floor,
and delivered aelearj concise, able and satisfacto-
ry argument in support oi tne ttesomuons as re
ported. The proposition of the gentleman from
Davidson, (Mr. Clerhmons) said Mr. M., migltf
answer the desired nurbose. as misrht also other
propositions that had been suggested ; but none of
these are free of doujbt; and for himself, he could
not conscientiously ote forany of them. While,
to his mind, the plati proposed in the Resolutions
was not only free from every doubt, but it placed
us in a high position before the Country, the State
authorities and the next Legislature. Good bonds
in the hands of the Company might probably be a
compliance with the Charter ; tile money in its
vaults surely would be ; but much more surely
would $500,000's jworth of work actually done
upon the Road, be such a compliance. The
whole argument of Mr. M. was so lucid and con
vincing, that not jeven a shadow of doubt sorm-
ed to hang over the mind of the Convention. All
anticipated difficulty and trouble appeared to be
at once removed ; when Dr. F. J. Hill, of New
Hanover, congratulated the Convention on the
harmony that was likely to close its proceedings.
He could not express any opinion on the ques
tion immediately imder discussion, but he felt sat
isfied, from the spirit which seemed to pervade
the Convention, that its action would accord with
the honor and interests, as well ofthe State as ofthe
Company (when formed,) and secure the speedy
completion ofthe great work before us. That noble
patriot, William Itoylan, of Raleigh, now rose
and remarked to the Convention, that he was near
seventy years of ae that he had commenced life
a farm boy, that hie had, under a kind Providence,
been able to accumulate a handsome estate, that he
had heretofore been something of a politician, that
he had lived for himself, his family and his friends,
but that he now hoped, under the bright prospect
before him, to livfe a while longer to do some
thing for North Cirolina! When from home, ex
claimed MrB. I have wept with shame and sor
row at the deep humiliation of my native State.
I' can bear it no longer. I am done with Nation
al politicks. . l 8hallgo for no man be he Whig
or Democrat who does not go for North Caro

in the glorious work before us; The balance of
ray days shall be spent in the service of my State.
And I will try to remember the people, amongst
whom I have lived, and realized my abundance !
WThe eloqent remarks of this good old man,
brought tears from every eye, and raised up the
sleeping energy, of every doubting mind. Au op
position to the Resolutions was immediately with
drawn, and theyiWjere wxmimofushj adopted.

Mr. Editor ; I was a ' looker on" at the late
Rail Road Convention at Salisbury, and it struck
mo as a matter of deep regret, that on such an oc
casion, no regular Reporters were procured for
the purpose of preserving minutes of the yarious
speeches delivered. I am free to say that I never
listened to, in all my life, on any one occasion, an
equal number of able, instructive and effective
Seeches. Without a single exception, they were
marked with ability, with a high sense of in-tegrity,-with
patriotism, and with a deep devotion
to the cause for which the Convention had assem-
I hledj while the remarks of several speakers aboun-
vvw w rrrr'vm fmwfXMJLH, XiLU 2L.DQVC
all they w.ere instructive. Could the inlbrmation
imparted to the Convention be impressed upon the
public mind, it would riqt require three weeks to
raise the.stock to the Road. The remarks of Gen.
McRae, of W3mington' left tio room to doubt on
the subject of such works increasing the value of
Real estate. Jle showed from statistical fuels, that
even among the whortleberry bushes and sand
hills of the East, this result had taken place. In
New, Hanover, said he, the increased value of
Real Estate since the Wilmington Road has
been built, is -$1,155,111 ! In Edgecomb, the
increase is $319,248 ! '. The increase in these two
counties alone, doubles the cost of the Road!
Then remarked Mr. Gilmer, of Guilford, the
entire value of theReal estate of North Carolina,
and her taxable slaves! is $306,000,000. What
would be the value ofthe same property after the
expenditure of three -small million of dollars in
constructing a Railway through the heart of the
State, frorn Charlotte to GpldsDoro, ? And what,
he asked, is three million of dollars in a work of
such vast importance !
1AJ1 tiiespeeches of Gov.s Swain abounded in
vitlwable statistical information. He read a letter
from the Hon, Jno. P. King, " the President of j
the Georgia Rail Road" in which Mr. K. states j
that the average cost of the Roads in that State, i
is $16,000 per mile. He states that he has
travelled through North Carolina, (having once
been a member of Congress, both Representative
and Senator,) and from other information in re
gard to the proposed route of the Central Road,
he thinks it is more favorable than the majority of
the lines in Georgia, and gives as his opinion, that
the Road ought to be built at a cost not much ex-
hope Governor
In fact, I most
sincerely wish that every speech, delivered at this
Convenuon, could be written out and published
to the country. , COSMOPOLITE.
OZONE.
The following article, which we clip from an
exchange, presents much the most rational views
that we have yet met with, relative to the sub
stance, that is now attracting such universal en-
qSjuy. ...
" "EhejQame is so extremely learned a one, not
to be found in any ordinary dictionaries, books, or
periodicals, except the most recent, that it is cal
culated of itself, from the mere mystery and nov
elty; to increase the impression of wonder and re
spect with which the new specific is received by
the public The riddle, however, is not so incom
prehensible, after all ; and we solve it for the ben
efit of pur readers. Ozone, then, is the unknown
substanee for unknown it is, we may say, ex
cept to hypothesis which is produced by the pas
sage of electrical currents from points through the
atmosphere, and is recognized mainly by a pecu
liarly disagreeable smell ; from which it derives its
name, given to it by'Schonbein, the celebrated
German chemist, the discoverer of gun-cottou.
It is to Schonbein's experiments and theories,"
Erincipally though not solely that we owe the
ttle we know, and the little we conjecture, of
ozone, which he considers a tritoxide of hydrogen.
Besides its odor, it manifests itself by a remarka
ble power of oxidizing silver, of decomposing io
dide of potassium, sulphurous acid and sulphur
etted hydrogen, and of irritating the mucous
membrane of the lungs and air passages, so as to
produce affections' resembling intense catarrhs.
It was Schbnbejn'8 notion , that ozone, being
produced occasionally in the atmosphere in un
usual quantities, might be the cause of epidemic
catarrh or influenza. Dr. Bird, of Chicago, ex
tends the theory, and supposes that ozone may be
the cause also of epidemic, cholera ; and he goes
still one step further not in recommending an
antidote, which Schonbein was before him in do
ing but in irecommending one which, from the
very nature of tilings, is almost thelast perhaps
that Schombein or any other good chemist would
have suggested. Ozone, it seems, immediately
decomposes, and is itself decomposed by certain
compounds of sulphur (sulphurous acid and sul
phuretted hydrogen,, as above mentioned ;) but
not by sulphur itself. It is the compounds there
fore, which would have been naturally recomen
ded, as remedies ; not sulphur itself j and it .Was
these compounds, which honbein recommend
ed, or at least suggested, in the inquiry which he
Eroposes; namely, to ascertain "whether persons
vmg.irt the neighborhood of sulphur springs"
(they yield sulphuretted hydrogen), " or workmen
engaged in metaUurgic. operations in which sul
phurous acid is liberated, are not less subject to
catarrhal affections than those who live in a pure
atmosphere." -
This question was asked by Schonbein several
years ago ; and the medical world has had ample
time to. decide it. .It: has not been" etertwned;
that the antidotes above mentioned are remedies
for influenza ;,and, consequently, there is a double '
reason for doubting whether sulplwr is a remedy
for cholera. -v-. iisu'th 'i
In short, the whole subject is nothing more or
less than a series of very self-evident doubts. It
is, first, doubtful whether there is such a body as
ozone j it is, next, doubtful whether ozone is the
cause, of influenza ; it is still more doubtful wheth
er,lt th?cause-of cholera; it is. then doubtful
whether the sulphur compounds are of any efficacy
aremediesTpr influenza i it is a great deal mote
doubtful whether sulphur is a remedy for it : but
it is most doubtful of all whether" sulphur fs a rem
edy for epidemic cholera.
. .To all which We may add the enquiry; as tend
ing to gi ve additional force and reason to this skep
ticism, that, if Ozone be produced by the passage
of electrical currents through the atmosphere, and
be the cause of cholera, why should not that pesti
lence prevail as well in the most salubrious as in
the nlostt upardfiltKy dlstricts-inSK
tricity exdst jn either:. " ' : ' T'T-
witn regard to the doubt of Ozone's being-the
cause of Irlfluenza, we have the authority of Dr.
Spengler for . the assertion, that during a great pre
valence of catarrhal affections in a certain' sectionj
no ozone whatever was detectible.
The following from the" Richmond Republi
can," settles the matter and caps the climax :
" With every new definition, Ozone becomes
more and more mysterious and unmtelligible.
We are inclined, however, after mature reflection,
to agree with he Philadelphia tNorth American,
that Ozone is tlie unknown substdndc." "It is
produced," says that paper, "by the passage pf
electrical currents from points through the atmos
phere, and is recognised mainhbita vecidiarlu dis-
up-eeable smell, from which it derives its name.?'
vv e want to hear no more of this Ozone, if such
be its character. Pdssiblv. reader, voii think von
know all about Ozone. That is a mistake. The
North American, after an elaborate article, comes
to the luminous and satisfactory conclusion that j
it IS . "jnuhifll f -adt ntVi nr-tluira-ia- vmh.q.. Jaody aj a

Tho Royal Mail Steamer Americn, .Capt Harri
son, with 60 passengers, arrived at Halifax at 3
o'clock on Monday afternoon, and will reach Boston
about 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning. She sailed
from Liverpool on the 9th in9t and consequently
brings seven dnys later intelligence from all parts of
Europe.
Feanck The formation of the new Cabinet has
been effected by a coalition between Odillon Barrot
and Dufauvre. The new Ministry ia the same as
the old. except M. Dufauvre, who takes the Depart
ment of the Minister of" the Interior; M. De Toc
queville, that of Foreign Affairs, and M. Laqueneas,
that of Commerce.
The message ofthe President ofthe French Re
public to the Legislative Assembly is published in
the Paris papers of Tuesday. It is composed upon
the American and not the European mode, filling
four columns of the European Times.
The President of France, in his message, says that
it is the destiny of France to'shake the world when
she shall be agitated, and to tranquilize it when she
shall be in the state of peace, and adds: "As soon
as I shall have power, some important questions must
be discussed respecting various European matters be
yond the Rhine and the Alps, and from Denmark
to Sicily there is an interest for us to reserve, and
an influence for us to exercise."
After reviewing the important events which have
taken place in Europe during the past year, the
message goes on as follows:
"At Rome a revolution was affected which cre
ated great emotion in the Catholic and liberal world,
lu fact, for two years tfe were accustomed to behold
in the holy see, a pontiff, who took the initiative in
every useful reform, and whose name was repeated
in hymns of gratitude from one end of Italy to- the
other. It was the symbol of Liberty, a guerdon of
all nopes, when suddenly we learn with astonish
ment that the sovereign who Was lately the idol of
his people, had been compelled to fly secretly from
his Capital - "
,lThus the ac?s of aggression which obliged Pins
to quit Rome, appeared to the eyes of Europe to be
works of conspiracy rather than the movements of
the people, who could not have passed in an instant
from most lively enthusiasm to most afflicting in
gratitude. The Catholic powers sent Ambassadors
to GaeU to occupy themselves with grave interests
of the Papacy. . France ought to have been repre
sented there, but she listened without committing
herself to force of action; but after the defeat of Nu
vara, matters took a more decided turn. ,
"Austria, in concert with Naples, answering to
the appeal of the holy father, ws notified by the
French government that it Bbould take its part, be
cause their power had decided ppon marching on
Rome to re-estabiieh there the authority of the
Pope in its purity and simplicity. Placed under the
Bcessity of explaining ourselves, we had but three
modes, either to oppose ourselves in arms tb every
species of intervention, in which case we would
break peace with all Catholie Europe, for theole
advantage of the Roman Republic, which we had to
recognise or leave the combined forces to re-establish
at their will the Papal authority ; but 1 to exercise
our own motion, Indirect an independent action, the
Republic adopted the last mode. The rest reraaius
to be told, and the difficulty is still unsolved.
HUNGARY.
Hungary presents no new feature, and since the
fall of Buda into the hands ofthe Hungarians, no
event has occurred calculated to have permanent J
influence on the result of the struggle, though the
Hungarians have, however, achieved, further and in
some respects important victories;, :The contestants
are concentrating their forces and accounts of ar tre
mendous battle are every day looked for. , . . ;
f It is reported tbafe the King of Sardinia has placed
his army at the disposal of the Hungarians, but the
report requires confirmation. ' v
