Would the Convention which recently met there, have dared put forth such such a slander in their address! Nol They would have known it was false. But does not the action of that Convention imply tbe sametlung ? It says "the South is labour ing under insufferable oppression, the other States have refused to act, refused to dissolve the Union, we can wait no longer, we know more about our rights than they do, they are blind, deluded by the cry of Union, we are the genuine chivalry of the South, and we must be obeyed and followed, or we will drive the ship of State upon the rocks and brea kers, and send the whole crew to ruin I" This is tbe sum and substance of the doings and sayings at that Convention ? Nor are they willing to allow the free dom of opinion to the people oi the other Southern States. The Srd resolution which they passed is as follows : Rexolved. That we hold the right of secession to be essential to the sovereignty nd freedom of the State of this confederacy, and that the denial of that right teitnldfurntth to an injured otate the strongest ad- dii tonal cauge for its exercise. Now the meaning of the resolution w this. " We believe in secession.

But we must have the raw material, the coal, the wood and the iron, ftature has placed it almost within our gras p, and a slight exertion will pour it upon us in ample abundance Let us aid the citizens of Fayetteville in the construc tion of the Northern Plank Rod, which, while it will add to the facilities of travel and tranp-rta tion so much demanded between the two places, will enable us to tap the Cape Fear River at a point only thirty miles distant, thus bringing Raleigh immediately in connection with the Cape Fear and Deep River improvements, and bringing the rich products of that section to our own do jr.- We must, ol necessity, have communication with the Coal and Iron region, and this strikes us as cer tainly the cheapest, most possib e, and most politic route, giving to the farmer and the merchant clio:ce uf every variety of transportation, to the Rail Road, the Plunk Road, the River, to any mar- K-.'t he may choose to enter into. The DEF.r Rivek Coal Tested. We are in formed by Mr. A A. McKethan, that he has pro cured or use in his various Forges, a quantity o; bituminous Coal from Evan s Mine on Deep Riv er, and that it is lound to be worth 50 per cent, more than tbe best Coal he has ever had from the North. Il posesses qualities in igniting, and in comparative heat, and perhaps other respects which eive it ibis additional value. In Mr. Mc Ket nan's hops are some of the very best black smiths, trom Baltimore apd New York, and they assure mm mat such are its qualities oyer any Coal they ever worked. We are also informed tnat it has been used in the Northern cities, where it wju command 2 per ton more than any Coal in market. It is a melancholy fact, that our Mechanics have been importing Coal from the interior ot'Vi ginia and Pennsylvania, whilst we have had a supply sumcient tor centuries, ol a better qual ity, wnhin 4u miles ol as. We rejoice in the hope that this reproach will speedily be wiped LITERARY NOTICES. Tlic Women of th Revolut ion, by Elizabeth. F.EU Uti in. two volumes. New York, Baker, and Seribner. v ...... . , :. ... . ; 111 drawing the portrait of feminine loveliness, it is much more difficult to present an accurate likeness, than of the bolder and more prominent features of the other sexl The lines are not so strongly drawn, the shades are more easily blend ed and while there is every thing to love and ad mire, there is but little to relate. With this, disad vantage and the still greaterdifficulty of obtaining authentic information concerning women whose ives were principally passed in tbe privacy pf do. mestlc life, Mrs.' Ellet has succeeded In making a. most interesting book, and. we have in these nn pretendfng volumes, perhaps the only memorial rescued from oblivion of the noble women of the Revolution women, who should not only be ad mired ut imitated.'- While -Slllng witbdignit? and grace the highest stations, giving their aid and counsel to soldier.-i and statesmen, we see them pursuing with, untiring energy their domestic duties, the care and instruction ot their children, and the superintendence of large plantations. while their husbands were fighting the battles of their -sountry. These were the wives and mothers who by their example and sympathy urged on tUe patriots of 76, and not unfreqnently by their in genuity and resolution prevented a' surprise or favored an escape. It was not uncommon for delicate and timid females, to rise at midnight, and penetrate forests to give their friends an jntima tion of danger. There is one instance recorded ot a young girl sixteen years of age, making her way through woods, across marshes and creeks, ford Ing a deep river until the water reached her neck, to the American camp, to give the alarm of an at tack, and, while cold and wet, setting about the preparations at once to provide food for the sol diers, who had just returned from a fatiguing ex cursion. There is nosketeh, more full of romantic interest, than the history of Mary Slocumb, of our own State. Her maiden name was Hooka; she was born in the County of Bertie, North Carolina, in 1761). She was present at one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolution, where the united regi ments of Colonels Lillington and Caswell encour. tered McDonald at Moore's Creek. We will give a part of the story in ber own words : "Tbe men all left on Sunday morn i no. More than eighty went from this house with my hus band. " And I slept soundly and quietly that ntp-ht, and worked hard all-the next day; bull kept thinking where they had got to how far ; where and how many of the regulars andtories they would meet ; and 1 could not keep myself trom the study,. 1 went to bed at the usual time, but still continued to study.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. out. Mr. McKethan had this Coal wagoned from Deep River. It cost about $12 per ion, which is less than he bad to pay fur tbe Northern Coat which he has been compelled to import for bis ex tensive Work shops. He is making arrangements to reduce the cost of wagoning. The extension of a branch of our Plank Roa-1 some 1? or 15 miles 'o the Mines would greatly reduce the cost of transporation. And we respectfully suggest that a subscription be started here, Where a rears onabte amount of Stock Would undoubtedly be taken, with a hope that tbe Deep River gentle men would complete the small amount necessary to. build the Road. This might be in operation some throe before the Navigation Can possibly be opened, and even after that work is accomplished, tne road will be used lor an extensive travel and transporation to and from Chatham, Orange, Al amance, Randolph, &.c, ipto which it is more than likely the Plank Road would be extended 'wyungofthe' ,1 -"tcuuouc attention to tne supplement It pauer. eontiivino. - I " 1 lkirvi the I. iranl-i.- . r - hWJD,BaTOum'8 residence ia Fairfield.

With all the complaints against this road, it frtils to bring the mail as seldom as other roads which have credit for doing better. -This road, it seems, is to be blamed not only for its, awn failures, but also for those of .other roads connected with it. - , t'iace writing tbe above, we have learned from our Post Master, W.

' ' T ' ' - .-': ; MEDICAL CONVENTION. The Second Annual Meeting of the Medical Society of North Caronina convened in this City, on Wednesday fast. We learn that the number of delegates present is quite respectable. On Thursday, the Annual Lecture before the Association was delivered by Dr. Charges E, johksok, of this City. Dr. Pa. Address is spoken of, in warm terms, as a highly scientific and able production, well calculated to elevate the standard pf medical literature in N orth Carolina. We hope soon to have the pleasure of .seeing it in print We are compelled to deter a more extended ac count ef the details of this meeting until, our next , wrappt-d io my husband's guard cloak bloody dead ; and others dead and wounded on the ground about him. 1 saw them plainly and distinctly. I uttered a. cry, and sprang to my feet on the floor and so strong was the impression on my mind. that 1 rushed in the direction tbe vision appeared, and came up against the side of the house. The fire in then om gave Utile, light, an I gazed in every direction to catch another glimpse of the scene. ' 1 raised the light; every thing was still and quiet, iuy child was sleeping, but my woman was awaKenea by my crying out or jumping on the floor. If ever I felt fear it was at that moment, dented on the bed, 1 reflected a few mo nents and said aloud : "I must go to him. I told the woman I could not sleep and would ride down the road. She appeared in great alarm ; but I merely told her to loek the door af ter me and look alter the child. I went to the Btable, saddled my mare as fleet and easy a nag as ever travelled; and in one minute we were tearing down the road at lull speed. The cool night seemed after a mile or two's gallop to bring reflection with it ; and I asked mysclt where I was going, and for what purpose. Again and again I was tempted to turn back : but I was soon ten miles from home, and my mind became stronger every mile I rode. I should hnd my husband dead or flying was as firmly my presentiment and conviction as any fact of my life. "The sun must have been well up, say eight or nine o'clock, when I heard a sound like thunder, which ! knew must be cannon. It was the first time I ever heard a cannon; I stopped still, when presently the cannon thundered again. The bat tle was then fighting. WThat a fool my husband could not be dead last night, and the' buttle only righting now 1 Still, as J am so near, I will go on and see how they come out. oo away we went again faster than ever ; and I found by the noise of guns that 1 was near the fight Again I stopped T could bear muskets, I could hear rifles, and I could hear shouting. I spoke to my mare and dashed on irr the direction ot the Hrmg and tne shouts were louder than ever. The blind path I had been following brought mc into the Wilming ton road leadinc From Moore's Creek Bridsre. a few hundred yards below the bridge. A few yards from tbe road, underaeloster ot trees, were lying perhaps twenty men. They were the wounded. I knew the spot ; the very trees ; and the position of the men I knew as if I had seen it a thousand times. I had seen it all night! I saw all at once; but in an instant my whole soul was centred in one 8Dot: for there, wranrwd in his bloody ?uard cloak, was mv husband's bodv! How 1 passed tne Tew yards trom toe saddle to the place l never knew. . 1 remember uncovering his head and see ing a face clothed with gore from a dreadful wound across the temple. I put my hand'on the bloody tace ; twas warm ; and an unknown voice begged for water. I brought it; poured some in bis mouth : washed his face : and behold it was Frank Cogdell." After binding up the wounds of several soldiers, ber husband, who bad been in pursuit of the ene my, came up, and we may imagine his surprise at seeing his wife, whom he had but a day before left sixty miles distant She remained during the day rejoicing with the victors and ministering to the wounded, and at midnight again mounted-ber mare and started for home. They wished her to stay until morning and they would send a party with her, but she told them no party could keep up with her, so hastening back she returned to ber home and child, which she reached in safety.

New York, May 20, 18SL- ; Eorroa of the Register AThe European pa pers, by the late aryivals, contain rro newa of im portance, except detailed accounts of the cere monies at the opening of the World's Fair by the Queen. By all accounts, the whole Affair "went off in- first rate stvle. The portion of the Crvs- J tal Palace appropriated to the United States oc cupies one of the most commanding positions, and Is distinguished by the American national arms. which are gorgeously emblazoned over the Eas. tern entrance of the building. ' The American df vision is hot as crowded as those of other coun tries, but the' vacancies are fast filling up. The cereals, raw materials, minerals, and maps, form prominent at,d deservedly admired features in the national collection. The American statues of "the Wounded Indian," anfl "the Greek Slave,' are said to elicit universal admiration. One of the most attract! ve object in theOystal Palace, is tne wona-renownctfAon l nooi diamond. This magnificent gem is deposited within an iron cage A? a. xr. .At t I - ui great sixeugin, wnien, oy an ingenious contri vance, sinus, at mgm. aown into a massive iron chest upon which it rests. From "dawn to dusk. the large size and brilliancy ot this jewel causes it to be incessantly surrounded by an immense crowd of admirers. A friend of mine, in his letter trom London, tells me. tnat tne American exhibitors display such energy, w directing qhjversal attention to their respective manmaciures, mat, not only the Kng nsn, uui an oiner loreign competitors,, must iook well to their laurels, or "smart sons of Columbja will innallibly outrival them, in almost every de partment of industry and commerce. Jenny Lmd is still singing to immense audiences at Castle Garden. She and Barrrum are heaping up ncnes nnunaanny. the fair Swede is laying up treasure in heaven, but, as vet Mr. Barnum i. confines his operations to this planet. Talking of Jenny, it is rumored that the4 divine songstress'' and Dr. Moffat the great millionaire oi inis city, are - engagea. l cannot voucn ror the veracity of the Teport, but as I have heard it, so I'll give it toyou. It appears that, some years ago, while making trie tour of Europe, Dr. Moffat was protessionally introduced to the iNightingale, in ond of the Continental cities j and ' Succeeded in effecting the perfect restoration of Jenny Lind's health,' after many of the most eminent German physreiana had pronounced her case incurable. The wonderful skill and delicate attentions of the Doctor made a lasting tmoression, not Only on the mind, but also on the heart of the gra'eful lady ; ana, upon ner nrst arrival in INew xork, she, in company with a few other ladies, visited Dr. Mof fat, at his princely residence in Union Square, unS again acknowledged the deep obligations which his invaluable professional assistance had conferr ed upon her. It is said, that Jenny and the Doc tor have maintained an epistolary correspondence ever since ; and, that upon the conclusion of her tour in the Northvrn and Western States, the marriage "ceremonies "Will be immediately per formed. Thus, through the efficacy of the "Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters," the Doctor will gum an amiable and talented wife, and the musical world will lose the brightest ornament that ever it pos sessed.' iSo runs the story, which may be true or may be not. The natives of "Erin's isle" are rushing across the Atlantic, in a perpetual stream. From Water ford alone, upwards of 2IKX) individuals sailed for this country, rn five ships, on the 22nd of last month ; and these ships were followed by seve"al others, two days afterwards; all having similar heavy cargoes of humanity, and all having the same destination These contiuued emigrations, have rather opened the eyes of the mis-rulers of Ire land, and the great English landholders are a- larmed at the prospective deficiency of hands to till the ground. From Westport, Castlebar, and the surroundingdistricts, mechanics farmers, shop- keepenvand able-bodied laborers, are disappear ing with magical rapidity. One of the Galway newspapers, in reference to the migratory move; menis in that county, eaysjthat if emigration pro ceeds in future, as in the past spring, the whole province will speedily become a wilderness. ' 'But there is ao danger of New York becoming a wilderness; tor as many' as 3000 emigrants sometimes land in one day. It is thought, that the emigration, during the. coming summer., will much more than double that' of last year. It cer tainly will, if it continue as it has begun. Some of our most efficient police officers have been sent over to London, to look after some of our contributions to the Great Exhibition, that have not been entered in the books of the Royal Commissioners. I allude to-professional cut purses, who have left Gotham for London, for the highly laudable purpose of practically proving to the Cockneys, and the world in general, that A- metica "can't be beat" in turning out skilful work men in every useful and profitable! branch'of in- dnatrV. I nave no doubt tnat the practice of their profession by these" gentlemen will be objected to by many old .ngii$n conservatives, who are opposed to the "spirit of progress." jN. jV.

The opposition are Circulating stones that th Post Omce JJe partment is in great confusion, and that more mail robberies have been committed under the present Whig Administration than, du ring any one of the opposition. These stories have some plausibility about them, because the robberies there alluded to are of recent occurrence, while those perpetrated under administrations headed by promtent mem bers of the opposition are partly forgotten, - Pray, under whose administration were the great mail robberies ot JJr. Urandee com mitted? robberies which enriched not only the perpetrator himself, but made fortunes for some ot his friends in jrayetle county. and other portions of the State. Take all the mail robbenes committed by post omce clerks and others in Pennsylvania,' under the pre- senUNational Adminisi ration, and the sums abstracted would not amount toonehunpreth part of the. money stolen by one man under Locofoco rule. The files of newspapers published in those days contain the details of numberless crimes T . :-.a a w t a of this nature, aunougn ; juocoioco eauors tried as much as possible, to conceal rob beries under Uieir administrations. .No du position of this sort is now manifested by tbe " . . 111 .
