Number 27( not aailhem t$ renounce any principle or any of the views of public policy which they have enter tained. All that we seek is, that, forgetting for a moment, in their zeal for the Union.the trammels of mere party organization, and spurning the mis erablej, venal dictation of party hacks, they shall pass a dispassionate judgment upon the course, with reference to the Peace measures of Congress amthiir enforcement, of ihe present Administra tration ! With that issue before them, we abide the result with no apprehensions or misgivings. Legislature, there was sent to Petersburg from the Raleigh and Wake Forest Depots. 12C4 bales. It is known that a considerable portion of our crop is car ried to Fayetteville ; a large portion, if not the larger portion of it, is sold to Cane Creek, Orange, Rocking ham and Milton Factories. I then take the 1 879 bales, the crop of 1840, as the basis of my calculation ; leaving the surplus, if any there be, for home con sumption. It may be proper for me to observe, that previous to the construction of the rail road to this place, our cotton -w as all sent to Fayetteville and Petersburg the prices at Petersburg ranging higher than at Fayetteville; and it is a f.tct known to our farmers, that the cotton raised North of Raleigh was, carried t the former, while that raised South, was carried to the latter market. Waggoning to Peters burg was per hundred, or :4,37i cents per bale. 1879 bales at 84,37 per bale cost 8 220 52 Do 2,10 or 60 cents per hundred, at present Ra l Road rates 3.935 90 $4,294 62 Gain to the producer of Cotton, SALT. Before we had the advantage of rail road transpor tation, the books of our Merchants will show that the price of Salt ranged from 4 50 to $5 00 per sack. roi years past it lias averaged 52 75. There is re ceived at Raieipn and Wake Forest Depots, 3,462 sac-Ks, which at $4 7o, makes $10,444 50 Same at -?2 75, present price, 9,5'JO 50 RALEIGH AND GASTON ROAD. We1 lenrn from a reliable source thai un'ess a movement is made to resuscitate this Road, 'hat at the end of a month, o orations on it will be dis continued. We do not use the language ofexag CeraiRlm when wo sav, this is an appalling fact for Peiersburg. It wiil not only cut off a vast trade which we now enjoy, but will deprive us of a I chance 'o secure any portion of the trade which ihe Central Road vi!l open in North Car olina. Let the Raleijh and Gaston Road go down, and a Road will be made fromGropnsboro, N. C-. to Danvi le. These are facts ; and the question is, wiil we apply the proper remedy? Will we come forward and do our part, in again putting 'he R ad in order? We have heard a good deal said about clubs of ten, twenty and 'hir ly boii);j formed to take lha portion of the Slock which Petersburg should shou der, but we have not hetird yet that as many as three have been found who were willing to put up the proportion ate amount. In our paper ff Saturday, we pub .'ished the advertisement of one of the first whole sale houses in Peiershurs, stating that they will j the quantity of Iron, Su-ar, Coffee" and Molass.-s rruike an arrangement by which merchants re i brought on the road.

Wp cannot doubt it Then, acting'in our separate and individual capacity, why not avail ourselves of advan tages offered ? I hare said that $3,368, is the proportion of the tax for Wake County, and that she has a population of 24,118, Multiply that number by 16, and you have more than the amount required. So 16 cents for each member of the family, more than pays the tax. But it would not be as bad as that even. We have $2,080,255 worth of real estate in Wake. Tax this 8 cents on every hundred dollars worth, and you have $t,624 We hav e 5750 polls that are taxed, say 20 cts. on each $1,159 Merchandise and other things taxed 585 00 Gam to the present purchasers of Salt, $6,924 LIlfE. 8"20 casks of Lime were brought to this Countv bv the rail road last year. When wagoned, it cost "from 4 50 to 5 00 per cask. Present price $2 75. Sav ing of $2 per cask, equal to 51,64:) U0.

Again we say :' i nese are lacis, uuu vc should be glad losee a sample of the logic wi I contravene them. ure. say We are 55,0'JO. The account then stands thus : Saving on transportation of Cotton, $4,294 62 Salt, 6.924 00 " Lime, 1,640 00 '" Iron. 6.924 00 " Sugar, Coffee and Molasses, 5,000 00 hat Gain to the pc-j. le of Wake, in the sale of their Cotton, anJ in tiie purchase of Salt, Lime, Iron, Sug-'r, Coee and Molasses, $24,782 62 But this exhibit falL far short ofc sinking all the benefits the farmers of Wake and Citizens or' Raleigh derive from the rail road. I have enumerated abo e the savings on the sale of Cotton, and the purchase of the absolute necessaries of life. Few if anv of our Farmers make an entire crop of anv one agricultural article for sale. Their crop is divided. The rail road builds up your town; our aim is to feed you. More than one half of the surplus of Wake is consumed in Raleigh, and makes no show on the list of exports. I have collected some statistical information relative to the county of Granville, which presents the savings bv rail road in a much stronger point of view than those I have exhibited for Wake. I have selected latterly felt, that Petersburg would fall to do her t,R, same aml c,,ntainu, about th amount part towards the rebuilding of the Raleigh and j of population as Wake. Gastoti Rail Road and for what reason? Sim'-. We regret to have in the above article, which we copy from the " Petersburg Intelligencer,"' (whose Editor, we are certain, as much regretted the necessity of penning, as weaid the reading o it.) a confirmation of the apprehensions we have and you have $3,368 But I don't know that there is a necessity for tax ing land poll so high. It was the pleasure of your lasi Legislature to tax money at interest, pleasure carnages, gold and silver plate, gold and silver watch es, and .many other articles used by those in more af fluent circumstances ; and there are still other objects of taxation that may be made to bear their propor tionate part, and thus diminish the tax on land and poll. 1 have neglected to mention the increased activity and value this rail roatr impTovemenfwould give to jour ousiness and property. In 1836. under the for mer assessment, the real estate rtf Raleigh was valued oozcmob ; in 1S47, at Jf4 1 6,405 30 per cent to its value being thus added, owing to the -Raleigh and ijastou itoad.

Tin's Tribunal is busily engaged, at the moment of our going to Press, in the trial of the Outlaw Will case it having been taken up at 11 o'clock, on Thurs day. Much interest is excited in this case, on account of the large amount involved, the respectability arfd standing of the parties interested, and the ability o the Counsel on both sides Messrs. Babger. W. H. Haywood and Busbee appearing for the Plaintiffs, and Messrs. Milli.h. Moore and G. W. H&twood for the Will. We shall probably have it in our power to pre sent Jo the Public a full Report of this interesting suit said to be one of the most interesting civil suits ever tried in the State. It affords us pleasure to bear witness to the ac ceptable manner in which Judge Elijs has dis charged his duties. ply, because it is the belief of a certain portion ot her citizens that Norfolk, whose " interests are rival to those of Petersburg," will thereby divide with them the trade of Nonh Carolina! With out stopping or caring to enquire how far this may be so, we may venture to state as " fixed facts"'-!- 1st. That the re-construction of the Ral eigh and Gaston Road, in connection with the Central Road, will open both upon Norfolk and Petersburg, a largely increased amount of trade that it will augment greatly the business of Pe tersburg, whatever it consequences upon that of Norfolk; and 2nd That the discontinuance of operations upon the Road will certainly prove a fatal blow to the traaic of Petersburg w ith a large section of North Carolina. Let the Road go down, In 1840 there was raised in Granville 3.98.822 pounds of Tobacco, which reduced to Hogsheads of 1500 each, makes 2,659 Hogshead. Before the establishment of the Gaston road 1,25 per hundred, or 1 8,75 per hogshead, was the usual price paid for carrying it to Petersburg, tho main To bacco market for North Carolina. 2,659, Hogsheads at 518,75 for transporta tion cost ?49.837 Same at 60 cts. or 57,50, present Rail Road rates 17,265 Nett saving to the planter 832,572 In 1847, there was earned from Henderson, the rincipal Depot in Granville, 18('2 hogsheads of To icco; the balance was deposited at other places on the road or carried down the Roanoke, ujkjii which Granville County borders. WHEAT. c: The same year,Oranville county raised 53. 053 bush els of Wheat. What quantity it requires for home consumption we are unable to determine, but we may and, as the "Intelligencer"' suggests, our upper tafe!y say. that the farmer who reaps one thousand r,,,,;.,., -;il t ih;r f, bv wnv f the R:,il ! bushels, can spare 750 : thus reserving 250 or one f iv Jul,!. -''" anu enemies.', !!.etnjered how this same objection, ' fa.iaorv had dor. c .so much to "get up il.iK-ry :;.; L 1 1 r i and keep it in pro-r-s urged against him. when the Vice r"i .I C IM...- :.. i'o . .. 1 .... 1 - .1- - L - I ..o.uioi.e in 10-4 ,,aini uiaue me oasis ?u:ioa, that if,bv.any accident, he should ''trai discharge the duties of Chief Mag- 'f"'ouhl he iound hostile and treacherous i 'eKjts of the South.

The wonder then, is. that, w ith such a field of compe tition for a vast and varied trade open before them, both of our Virginia sister-towns do not enter up on it with alacrity and energy. And What shall we say of the Counties along the route ? what of Raleigh? Are we-allasleep ? Has such fatuity taken possession of our minds, that we cannot perceive what an appalling blow the discontinuance of the Road will inflict upon our interests ? We deem this a fit tune, before that blow is given, if it is ?to come, to re publish the following valuable and Reliable statistics, taken from the speech of Maj. (t. L. Hintos, our late State Treasurer, before an Intorrial Improvement I am informed by the practical intelligent farmers of that county, that owing to the difference in the price of transportation, the wheat crop has been increasing for years ; and at this time, there is rnore wheat seeded than was saved in 1840. SALT. 2,335, Sacks of salt were delivered in Henderson the last year ; a considerable portion of this, no doubt, was carried to Orange and Person, but not more than was delivered at the other Depots in the countv and landings on the River; say the saving is 1,35, per sack ; the difference between the former and present prices equal to 3,502 50 Lime. 350 ca.-ks of lime at same rate - 525 Tien, sir, not taking into the estimate the saving on Dry Goods, Hardware, and other articles of Mer chandise which are daily arriving at the different de pots, and the variety of the smaller products of the farm that in like mariner are exported, the account in the county of Granville for her savings by the rail road stauds thus : OUR DISTRICT. There seems to be pretty squabble among the Democracy of this Congressional District. Gen. Daniel " has announced himself for re-election, wiib as much coolness as though he possessed a life ttnurp in the Office." and refuses, we under stand, to sub,.nit his c aims to a Convention of the fai hful. In the meantime, it is reported that Gaston H. Wilder, Eq , will be a Candidate ; whether subject to a Convention or not, we are unapprized. Several other gentlemen are also spoken of. Tne District is hopeless Democratic, and it will be useless, of course, to bring out a Whig candidate. Any good Union Democrat, we are sure, however, can Ipave the present Representa tive far enough behind, to prevent any further countenance, from him, on the floor of Congress, ol measures and men that are calculated to des troy and break up the Government and the Union. South Carolina. Mr. Webster discloses in his Speech at Annapolis, the probable policy of the administration toward South Carolina, in case that Siate attempts secession. Mr. Webster says : " Leave them to their own consideration. Let them dwell in secession many days and inwardly digest it. Applause and laughter. And so tar as I have any voice in the councils of the country, this meditation of theirs shall never be disturbed ; not a breath shall ruffle their sensibility until it comes to a point where something is done that amounts to an actual conflict'with the Constitu tion.

F MR. RAYNER S SPEECH. We commence in our paper to-day, and shall conclude in our next, the able speech of this ren tleman in the last Legislature upon the subject of amending the Constitution of the State. Mr. Ray ner is opposed to amendments to that instrument by Legislative enactment, and we think has pre sented arguments in support of his position in this respect, which are both sound and conclusive. We differ with Mr. R. in his advocacy of a lim ited Convention. If the Constitution is to be a mended, or a new one enacted,!et an unrestricted Convention be called for that purpose a Con vention which will settle forever the agitation of the question of Constitutional Reform. Let the whole matter be submitted to the Deonle let all party bias be laid aside and when perfected, let it be a Constitution of the people, and not of de signing demagogues. Weldon Pat.

We may remark, by-ihe-way, that, since the delivery ot this Speech, we have had a arge numberof applications for copies, from all sections of ihe Stale, which we have un fortunately been unable 10 gratify. No stronger proof could be given of the effect which it pro duced upon the public miad. From the Republic. We pub ish to day an oxce lent speech of Hen ry W. Miller, esq., of Raleigh, North Carolina, made at Oxford, in that State, on the 5th of November, 1850, in reply to Hon. A. W. V ENABLE. Our columns have been so crowded during the session, we have been unable to spread this repast before our readers un il now. Il is a manly and statesmanlike effort, and does Mr. MrLLER great credit. We can f rgive Mr. Venaei.e much when we remember thai lo him is ihe Country indebted for this admirable argu ment in defence of the Com promise measures while we pity him as we read how effectua ly Mr. Miller has exposed and overwhelmed him. Whoever wi I read this speech wi I bt fu ly armed with arguments against any one who at tempts to create dissatisfaction with the Com,ro mise bills. MR. CLINGMAN. Shortly before the adjournment, as we have already informed our readers, Mr. CLiNGMAN.made his annual Speech this time.on the "future Policy of the Government." The " Washington Repub lic," we observe, has taken the trouble to make an elaborate review of this discourse, showing that, for inconsistency with itself, and the former ly proclaimed opinions of the speaker, it is a rare curiosity We have not room for the whole of the " Republic's" article, but we will endeavor, in our next, to give copious extracts therefrom. Heavy Business in Cotton. The N. O. Crescent of the 24th ult,says: "The past wpek has been an unusually active one in theCotton market. the sales having reached some thirty seven thou sand bales. Prices, too, have steadily advanced and are now fully one and a quarter per cent above tho lowest point of depression some weeks since. This is attributable, in some degree, to the recent favorable accounts from Europe, but s ill more, we believe, to a growing conviciion that ihe first and more moderate estimalps of the crop are like ly to prove in the end the most correct." Georgia and Mississippi are fully or ganized with two parties, the one rallying under the banner of the Union and the Con stitution, and the other for State Rights alias Disunion. In Georgia a State Convention of Union men will meet at Milledgeville, on the 2d of June, to nominate a Governor, and in Mississippi, at Jackson, May 12. Here old party issues are abandoned, and nothing is discused but Slavery. All offices, State, Congressional, Legislative, Judicial local offices of at' grades, are also to be filled, upon ihe Union issues. Delegates are also to be chosen to a Stafe Convention to consider the position of Mississippi at t L is '' crisis " May God preoper the cause, and strength en the hands of the Union men in these two States. We will not doubt the issue for a moment, and yet our friends write us that they look mainly to the North for strength, inasmuch as the cause of the Union at the South depends almost altogether upon our observanc- in good faith, of the measures of Compromise passed by Ihe last Congress. The South Carolinians are making a desperate effort to seduce Georgia from her loyally to the General Government. JV. Y. Express.
