rr The last "Wilmington Herald" contains
I Communication, over the signature of "Wii
jnsGTON," in reply to the article of "Common
Sense,'' published in this paper of the 18th.s In
admitting trie article of " Wilmington" into its
wlumhs, the 'Herald remarks :
"We consider the reply of 'Wilmington in our
columns to day as a necessary .consequence oi trie
publication in the 'Raleigh Register' of a recent
article under the signature of 'Common Sense.'
The one naturally follows the other. For our
own part while we deprecate the existence ot an y
feeling between Raleigh and Wilmington save that
of kindness, we nevertheless acknowled ge the
wwer of retaliation in cases of attack, even if the
bonds should be jarred for awhile, &.c.
As regards the opposition of the press of Wil
mington'to the GastonJtoad, we hare only to say
that, so far as this paper is concerned, while it
has not evinced extraragant joy at its resurrection,
it has nevertheless deprecated the loss to the State
aad individual stockholders in its final defeat and
death. The files of the Register can evidence mis
fact. .
It was.from oat own unwillingness to do any
thing which we thought at all calculated to dis-
lurb those fraternal relations that Bhould subsist
between Raleigh and Wilmington, that we took
ivMoinn to disclaim nnv res nonsibilit V . on OUT
own part, for the sentiments of"Common Sense,
'We deprecate, as much as the "Herald" possibly
can., the existence of any feeling between the two
places, save that of kindness and we are sorry to
have to draw the inference, from the acrimonious
nature of this controversy, that other feelings are
pringing up. Certain are we, that none such ex-
iit in our own minds : though at the same time
we cannot rrfrain from the remark, that the
course of the New Hanover and Wayne Repre-
aentalires in the last Legislature, and the tone
d a portion of the Press of Wilmington and
Goldsboro' particularly, however, -of the latter
plase, with reference to the Raleigh and Gaston
Hoed, ham been exceedingly captious and unrea-
tonafcie.
Our.recollection fully sustains the "Herald" in
what -h says of its course in the premises. The
"Commercial,'' if we remember arightly, has been
equally liberal in its disposition towards the inter-
ens of Raleigh.
At a matter of justice, we give copious and the
more pertinent extracts from "Wilmington," in
reply to "Cqho5 Sense," in our paper of to-day.

- 1 THE DISUNIONIST UNMASKED!
We confess, we did not expect to frighten the
Editor of the "Standard," so completely out of his
wits, when we began to hold up before him "that
mirror," his own "files," from which his disun
ion features are so strongly reflected. We were
under the impression, that be had become so fa
miliar with the characteristics which mark his own
"face foliticaiy that the sight of them, hideous
though they be, would not disturb a single muscle
in his frame ! But not so. Long before hia eye
had caught a sight of even a tithe of the Disunion
furrows, which adorn his cheeks, he shrank back
with terror and shame ! But he challenged us to
examine and hold up the mirror of his past con
duct before him and we shall continue to do so.
He may perhaps profit much by the operation.
Let him therefore take off, his mask and submit
patiently to it. "is lias been fostering a spirit if
Disunion and has opposed the Compromise from
the first, and he cannot expect to be permitted to
take his seat without objection, amongst the lriends
of the Union. He must first give the pass word !
Once more, then, Mr. Editor, hold up your head
and look on the mirror !
In your issue ot the 1 2th April last, you pub
lished some Resolutions' passed by the Whigs of
Wayne County, approving the Compromise,
They were as fallows :
Resolved, That the leries of measures lately pas
sed by Congress and known as the Compromise are
Constitutional in their nature, beneficial in their ope
ration, and absolutely necessary to the South, te secure
to her the free exercise of her rights.
Resolved, That the repeal of the law passed to se
cure tha delivery of fugitive slaves, to the Drooer ow
ners, or the modification thereof in any of its essential
provisions, would be an act of injustice to the South,
and would be well calculated te disturb the tranquili
ty, wtuch that law was intended to effect, and which
it has, in co inconsiderable degree,effected."
Your "friend Gulick," of the Goldsboro' Repub.
lican, seized the occasion of publishing these
Resolutions, to denounce the Compromise. You
gave him the right hand of fellow-ship, in the iol
lowing Bombastes-Furioso strain:
"Our friend Gullick has taken a iugt riew of the
matter and has exposed in the clearest manner tbe
unsoundness of these submission Kesolutions. Sad,
dreary and dark indeed will be the day rchen the sen
timeiUs and principles of these Resolutions shall pre
vail in 2iarth Carolina I May tke God of the free aud
fearless avert that day ! Southern men exult over
the passage of a Compromise, by which they gained
nothing, but lost important rights as members of a
confederacy of equals ! Southern men declare this
compromise to oe absolutely uecesaary to tuem to
secure to them the free exercise of their lights, &.C."
Did the most embittered Disunionist of South
Carolina ever make a more violent and reckless
assault on the Compromise and its friends, than
this ? Does iot the article breathe the hot breath
of disaffection, repeal, discord, and disunion ?
Could the very Evil One himself hare invented
language more expressive of hostility, the most
diabolical hostility to any measure ? And yet, the
Editor has been a most loving friend of the Com
promise and the Union "from the first !"
But again : On the 4th of May last, the Disun
ion Clubs of South Carolina, met in Convention,
and resolved to urge the separate secession of that
State from the Union. On the 1 4th of the same
month the Editor of the "Standard" published a
long account of the proceedings of that Conven
tion. In commenting upon them he remarked :
"That the principle on which South Carolina acts
is just, we (the eciuor of the standard) think every
State Kight's man will readiiy admit, but the pru
dence and expediency of the present contemplated
movements nuiy be liable to question!" Again:
'V'e may exercise forbearance we may cry peace,
peace, but there is a time when Dirrr cries, -'if you
have humanity, heed it not."
It certainly requires ne great profundity of in
tellect, nor menial sagacity, to catch the meaning
of such language as this. " ihe principle on
which South Carolina is acting is just, though the
expediency of her conduct may be questioned."
Can such be the tone and spirit of a genuine re
liable friend of the Union ? Does it not strike
every one, with irresistible force, that the Editor
desired to encourage the treason, whilst he would
fain escape the responsibility which would follow !
Shame upon him ! This is indeed like "damning
his friends with faint praise."
But the "mirror" gives back a few more very
prominent features of the Editor's disunion face !
In his issue of May l7ih, he published a letter
written by Gen. Wallace, of South Carolina, from
which we extract the following:
professing to be a party in the contest, were to i
publish, without comment, or without such con
ment. the most blasphemous extracts from the
writings of Tom Paine, could any one doubt for
a moment the tendency of his principles?
But again : On the 7th June, the Editor pub
lished an account of the campaign in Mississippi,
between Quitman and Foote, in reference to which
he thus discoursed : :
"We can hare no doubt of Gen. 0,'s. election.
Gen. F. is struggling for political existence; his
all depends upon the issue of this contest.- The
Peovle will -pronounce against him. and then will
do it for good reasons and on just grounds."
For "good reasons and "onsl grounds," then,
the People ot that State, thought the Editor,
would pronounce against the friend of the Union
and for the Disunionist ! The "wish was father
to the thought."
In the same issue the Editor published, without
comment, an account of the contest then going on
in Alabama From it we extract the following
Candidates for Congress. As the time for the
election of a Repieaontative in Congress is near at
hand, and as the Whia or "Union" party m this
district hare already made a nomination oi Charles
C.Langdon, Esq., as their candidate, it has been de
termined to present the name of the Hon, John Bragg
Esq., as the candidate of ail those who are opposed
to the principles of the "Compromise Measures" of the
late Congress, the purposes ot the said " Union" organ
izations, and the doctrines which have characterized
the career of Mr. Langdon. It is believed that the
great body of the people of this District regard the
legislation of Congress as aggressive upon the
rights of the South; that our efforts shoul l be directed
rather to the preservation of our institutions, than to
building up of party organizations which may

We see that the great Hungarian patriot was
expected to be at Southampton on the 13th Ofito:
ber There would be a civic banquet, to whieh,
among others, were invited the American Minis.
ter, and the Hon. R. J. Walker, late Secretary of
the Treasury of the United States. Mr. Walker
will be the guest of Mr. George Borrett. On the
night of the banquet, Kossuth, it is said, will be
come the guest of Mr. Croskey, the American
Consul, and it is proposed to have a balcony or
platform erected in front of the Consulate, which
faces an open square, upon which, the morning af
ter the banquet, a banner will be presented by the
Mayor of Southampton on behalf of some Hun
garian refugees in America. It is then intended
for him to proceed immediately to London. The
American Consul has taken a very active part i
the arrangements and Southampton has so far ac
knowledged the efforts of the United States as to
give a prominent place to the American flag in the
decorations of the card of admission to the dinner,
the price of which is fixed at 30s.
The following remarkable and eloquent address

departure from the Hungarian soil, upon which he

of the Union; and that a strict adherence to the let
ter of the constitution, in opposition to broad consoli
dation views is the best, if not the only way, to pre
serve the rights efour people, and the continuance of
the American Union. The circumstances of the time
necessarily force these issues into the Congressional
canvass, and demand, for them, the verdict of the peo
ple. Approval of the said "Compromise measures "
or a disapproval of them, is the great issue which will
merge all minor questions, and is now to be decided
at the ballot box.
Approval or disapproval of the Compromise
was the great issHe to be decided at the ballot box
between the Candidates! The Editor of the
"Standard'' did all he could to advance the sue

People into tbe belief, that he has acquiesced in
the Compromise from the "very first !" Awav

Yellow Fever at Mobile.
HoctLE, Oct. 26. The yellow fever hasbreken
y- here, and has caused great alarm. The
Tar( of Health held a meeting and reported that
disease was not increasinir, but advised all
the
irar
Jtrs to stay away for the present.
''In reply I have to say that my opinions are not
changed. Wt are doomed if tc remain in the Union,
and I am for going out the shortest way.
The highest aim and the highest remedy is a South
ern Confederacy. If we cannot get this by co-operation
lam for acting decisively without it, frc.
The money appropriated at the last session of tbe
Legislature would enable us, if properly expended,
to bring 20,000 men into the field, for we had seven
thousand muskets and 80 pieces of cannon before.
Every dollar of this money should be spent in the
purchase of arms, and the Governor ought to be able
to report to the next session of the Legislature : We
bave 2v000 muskets and small arms, 120 pieces of
cannon, and we can bring 20,000 men into the neld
at a moment's warning. This would look business-like
WARLIKE if you will Ac.
My motto is, prepare, prepare, and then act."
Such was the language, such the designs, the
settled purposes of this enemy of the Union ! He
declared his desire to break up the Union, and
destroy the only Republican Government on earth
worth preserving ! He was for preparing all the
munitions of War to make good the threat of(
Disunion ! That dread alternative was, with him,
not looked for in the distant future, yet to come
upon the happening of some contingency, but it
was already upon us ! We were "doomed," and
disunion had become a part ot his political relig
ion ! He was for aotios.
This letter thus breathing disunion, thus lapping
out the fiery tongue of treason, tbe Editor of the
"Siandard" published, and pray did he rebuke
and denounce the sentiments it contained ? Did
he warn his readers against them 1 Did he even
disapprove them? No, On the contrary, if he
did not give them his open sanction he yielded his
"acquiescence." Hear what the Editor said.
This was his language, as taken from the "Char
leston Mercury."
"The limes require plain words, and we trust,
that all of our Representatives in the National
and State Legislature may make their views pub?
lie."
Now take this case. Suppose a heated contest
were in progress on the issue of the truth of the
Christian Religion and, Infidelity, and an Editor,
"In our judgment the real Disunionists are
the Abolitionists and Freesoilers of the Free
States, and tliose who in the South, apologise fo
aggressions and endeavrr to lull our people into a
false security. (He meant here the friends of the
Compromise.) Both Davis and Quitman are
br tier and sounder Union men todau, titan Foote
and the motley crowd of timid Democrats and old
Consolidalionists who art supporting Aim
Again, in his issue of the 23rd July, the Editor
denounced Cobb and those who supported him,
nor did he spare the "recreant" Foote, and those
"timid Democrats," and consolidation pack, who
were bowling at the heels" of the "gallant Quit
man." He predicted the defeat of both the "rene
gades" from Democracy and "State rights," and
the triumphant election of those "true friends of
the South," McDonald and Quitman! Hi heart
leaped with joy at the prospect of their success.
He warmed up to the highest pitch of the most
ecstatic enthusiasm in contemplation ot such a
glorious result ! No encomiums were too exalted
Jor them, co abuse too low, no denunciation too
bitter and vindictive, for thos who dared oppose
them ! Those were "above all Greek above all
Roman praise ;" these were too degraded to de-
serre regard or reverence from any even n'-timid
Democrat" or a "craven submissionist!"
Yet Cobb has been elected by a majority of
twenty thousand of the freemen of Georgia, and
judging from the recent election in Mississippi,
ana trie ntnust.ism wmcn prevails amengst nis
friends, the "xecrearu" Foote will be sustained by a
vote, which will put to shame his own traducers
and the enemies of that great and glorious cause
ic behalt of which he has done battle so nobly !
Such are the men, whom the Editor of the "Stan
dard" has vilified as enemies of the South; and
whilst pouring out this vilification he has not been
sparing in his praise of those who, as we have
already shewn, were open and violent enemies of
the Union, and who, under a maddened ambition,
panted for the establishment of a "Southern Con
federacy," governed as they were, by the execra
ble principle, of prefering "rather to be the first
in Gaul than the second in Rome."
And this same Editor, thus speaking and acting
now has the effrontery, since the indignation of
the People has swept like a tornado over his
treasonable machinations, and scattered them like
so much chaff, to step forward, and ask to be re
cognized as a true friend of the Union, and one
who acquiesced from the first in the Compromise!
It is related by hia biographer, that on a certain
occasion when the distinguished Orator, William
Wirt, was to speak in an important case, involv
ing life, the Court Room was crowded to excess.
Wirt spoke. For hours he kept his auditors en
chained by the charms of his eloquence. .After
he concluded, but before the spell had passed off,
in which tbe whole crowd, apparently as one
man, bad been wrapped, a young petifogger arose,
with all the solemnity of extreme wisdom, and all
the preciseness of accomplished vanity, and asked
the Court, "for leave to take a judgment by default
"Out with him!" cried an old patriarch, who was
just waking up from the delightful reverie into
which the oratory of Wirt had carried him.
"Kick him out !" resounded through the hall, and
soon the unfortunate "novice of the green bag1
was found going " like a shot out of a shovel"
towards the door !
In this day of hearty and enthusiastic rejoicings
for the triumph of the great cause of the Union in
Georgia, in Alabama, in Mississippi, in North
Carolina, and even in Soutli Carolina, the very
cradle pf Secession, the editor of the 'Standard
is quite bfside himself, entirely out of his sensesi
ana vain maeea, to suppose mat ne can latce a
judgment by default under a claim that he has ever
been a friend of the Compromise and the Union !
"Out with him!" From bis own inouih has he
been condemned !
"God be with the, my beloved fatherland 1 God
be with thee, Fatherland of the M.igyrs ! God be

necting with the Charleston and Augusta road, in
Georgia.
Middle Tennessee has a better soil and more
level surface than East Tennesse, though much
of this portion of the State is . also broken and
sterile. Here, too, I find a rail-road in progress
the fireous Nashville and Chaitanooga road,
which, when completed, will place Nashville in
direct communication with Charleston; in South
Carolioa. It is to be hoped that the opening of
mis road, oy bringing the hot-spurs of South
Corolina in contact with the sober-minded Ten-
nesseeans, will have the effect to cool in some de
gree their intemperate ardor aad teach ttieai better
sense and reason.
West Tennessee the "Western District,1
as it is called, has generally a belter soil, than
either of the other portions of the State, but is not
in my judgment, so healthy. The City of Mem
phis, the Commercial Emporium of this section,
has grown with great rapidity during the last ten
years. It was but a small ' Mud villagein 181Q ;
now ii contains a popu'aiion of over 15,000! It
is at times a disagreeable place, on account ot the
dust and heat; in wet weather, it is extremely
muddy, and, during the whole summer, is ren.
dered somewhat unpleasant on account of the
inusquitues. But, notwithstanding these disadvan
tages, it is a flourishing and growing town, and,
when connected hy Kail-road with Charleston,
will doubtless attain twice its present size.
In political sentiment, Tennessee is emphati
cally a Whig and Union State. The Democrats
here are Union and Compromise men, strongly
reprobating the course 'of South Carolina, Quit
man and others of that school. Gen. Trousdale.
the Democratic Candidate for Governor, you are
aware, expressed dissatisfaction with the Compro
mise, and though he came far sh rt of the ultraism
of Quitman and Rhett, he said eno igh to cause
his defeat. Gen. Campbell, V lug- and the strong
est Union man you ever saw, will be inaugurated
Governor in a lew days. You doubtless "read in
ria. JNo, ftfteen nations hare dus thy crave, the thou
sands of the sixteenth will arrive, to save thee !
Be faithful as hitherto, keep to the holy sentences of
the bible.pray for thy liberation, and then chant thy na
tioual hymns, wheu thy mountains re-echo the cannons
of thy liberators ! God be with you, dear comrades
and fellow sufferers ! The angel of God be with you.
Yob may still be proud, for the Lion of Europe has
to be aroused to conquer the rebels ! The whole ci
vilized world has admired you as heroes, and the
cause of the heroic nation will be supported by tbe
freest of the free nations on earth."
the papers of the defeat of Hop. L. Turney for the
Legislature, tie was a member of the y S. Sen
ate during the pendency of the Adjustment mea
sures, and he voted with Seward, Rhett and others
against these measures. He came home, ran for
ihe legislature in a strong Democratic county,
where he had before been omnipotent, and was bea
ten over three to one by a young Union Demo
crat. I take this as a truly decided evidence that
Ii tie sympathy is felt here for the Quitmanites,
Rhettites, and the Amalekites of Disunion.
From Tennessee, I passed up the Ohio but a
few weeks ago to Indiana. This is bi far the
most growing, and, in my judgment, the most de
sirable State of the West. It is called " Hoosier
doni," bu that epithet is calculated to give us
very erroneous ideas of the people. They are
intelligent, industrious, ordeny, honest, and not a
few of them exhibit as much refinement and polish
as the people of the Eastern States. In soil, In
diana stands pre eminent, particularly the Wabash
Country. 1 he Counties of Gibson, rosey, Knox
and Daviess have no rivals in beauty and fertility.
Those Counties are in the South-Western portion
of the State, a section which has the genial
warmth ofthecUmate of Virginia, united with the
stealy uniformity of the Non h. The great objec
tion to the climate of the States Sout'j of Ken
tucky is, its extreme fickleness, which makes it
very trying upon the Constitution and health in
winter. Uniformity and entire exemption from
all exposure is the characteristic of the climate
North of 37' and South of 40, South Western
Indiana is in this medium latitude, and enjoys all
the advantages resulting from so favorable a loca
tion neither loo hot, nor too cold, exempt alike
from the oppression and sultry heat of the South
and the piercing and intense cold of the North.
In internal improvements, liuluna is out-striping
all the Western States. As many as .six Rail
Roads are now in progress. They are as follows :
From Evansville to Terre Haute, complete as far
as Princeton, the county seat of Gibson ; from
Terre Haute to Indianapolis ; from Indianapolis
to 3enia, Ohio; from New Albanny to Terre
Haute ; from Madison to Indianapolis; and from
Cincinnati, through Vincennes, to St. Louis.
The last is a great work, and when completed (in
one or two years,) will be amongst the greatest
thoroughfares ot travel in the United Slates. Be
sides the rail-roads in progress in Indiana, most of
which are progressing with great rapidity, is the
great Wabash and Erie Canal, extending from
Toledo on Lake Eiie,down the Waba-h to Evans
ville. This Canal is 16U miles long, and, when
completed, (which will be next Spring,) will af
ford admirable facilities lor the transportation of
produce and merchandise between the Eastern
cities and he South West.
In political sentiment, 1 may set down Indiana
as side by side with Tennessee in attachment and
devotion to the Union. They are both patriotic
and noble States; aud so are Kentucky, Illinois,
and Missouri. Upon these Sutes, more than any
others, will depend the maintainance of the Con
stitution aud tbe preservation ol our gloriuus and
happy Union.
Indiana has lately adopted a wise regulation,
which ought to be initated by all ihe Stales, North
and South. It is the exclusion of free uegroes
and the colonization of those already iu the State.
By a provision iu the new Constitution, which
being put separately to she people, was adopted
by a majority of 90,000, no free negro is allowed
to settle in the State, and the legislature is requir
ed to make immediate prevision for the remorai
and colonization of those winch are there, Let
all the States adopt this principle, and they will
be. rid of a great nuisance, and an unfortunate
and degraded class of beings will be placed in a
situation where they may attain the highest de
gree of physical and moral improvement of which
the African race are capable,
VIATOR.
From the "Wilmington Herald."
Mb. Editor : In the good old times, which are
long gone byl there lived a certain Dutch Artist,
of great name and wide-extended fame, who was
remarkable not only for the great success which
rewarded his labors, but also for the !means by
which th it success was attained. You, doubtless
remember the story, for every child has heard it.
The Dutchman had a great penchant for drawing,
and painting animals; and though his pencil could
boast but little skill, the power of his pen was,
marvellous. On all public occasions his paint
ings were sure to find a place for exhibition. A
large label over the head of each picture relieved
the dull discernment of the spectators. "This is
a horse! ' appeared, jn conspicuous characters,
between the ears of an animal many degrees re
moved in pedigree; aud the spectators (good souls)
roundly swore that the animal, designated by the
label, was most truly and faithfully represented by
the painting.
We have been most forcibly reminded of this?
story by the perusal of an article which appeared
in the last "Raleigh Register." This is Common
. i . . i. .- i
otndt: says ine lauei amxeo to tnis article; ana
the public, like the .Dutchman's spectators al
though it is impossible to discover the slightest
semblance of the original are bound to presume
that ii is common sense.
But, our object was to call your attention, par
ticularly, to the following extract. Without any
cause for his malice, brany show of reason for his
ui.just, and ungenerous suspicions, the writer
thus discourses of Wilmington, and Wilmiugto
nianst , "On the subject of the Raleigh and Gaston
xlailroad, our Wilmington friends, or their depen
dants,, are the last who should volunteer their ad
vice u-nasked. The ' citizens of Raleigh have
never felt any disposition to ihmw any obstacle
in the way of their success in their schemes of
Internal Improvements-, although their pet Road
is but a highway from Virginia to South Caro-
lini- On the contrary we have been proud of the
spirit of enterprise and perseverance they have
manifested and rejoice "at the prospects of suc
cess in the completion and permanent establish
ment of their rcwd. We hope the day is not far
distant when the completion of the Central road
will open to her competition the trade and produci
of the entire State, or at least a very large portion
ot it and as an earnest of our sincerity we have
subscribed more than anv town in the State to the
construction of this road; although the Chief En
gineer in his Official Report recommends the a
doption ot a rouie which he says will pass Raleigh
at such a grade as will make it very difficult to es
tablish a Depot here. What influence this diffi
culty may have had in recommending the route,
our Wilmington friends may know better than
we. One thing, however, is certain, our Wil
mington friends have no: hesitated openly to avow
their opposition to the re-construction of the Ra
leigh and Gaston Railroad. In private conversa
tion, by the Press, and by their Representatives in
in the legislature, they spared no efforts to prevent
it and the sudden zeal manifested bv their Depot
Editor for ihe character of the road, the interest of
the stockholders, and the Slate, is to say the least
ol it pregnant with suspicion. As to the employ
men! of a per?on residing out the State, to super
intend the rebuilding the road, we presume the
Governor of the State or the Directors of the road
troubled themselves not much upon (his point in
the re-construction of the Wilmington road, and
our Wilmington frieqds certainly did not make it
a sine qua non in the appointment of a Chief En
gineer for the. Central Road."
Now Mr. Editor, t think we roay safely chal
lenge the ingenuity of man to produce, within the
same short space, a greater number of unjust as
persions, unfounded assertions, and injurious, iho'
we would fain hope, not wilful and malicious
false hoods. We assert most positively that it is
a total misrepresentation of the feelings, and sen
timents of the citizens of Wilmington. -What
feelings may be indulged by private individuals, or
what opinions may have been expressed in pri.
vale conversation, we, of course, are unable to
say. Nor do we think it is important lo know.
We speak of the people of Wilmington as a body
and we presume that they may indulge their pri
vate opinions with regard either to the Raleigh
and Gaston Road, or to the citizens of Raleigh
themselves; and that they are at liberty to ex
press those opinioos, in pricale conversation, just
as they would of a Road from New Y'ork to
Philadelphia, or of the citizens of New York or
Philadelphia. We think that we have a righl ;
and, as we are not quite so submissive as (accor
ding to "Common sense") the citizens' of Raleigh
are, we intent; lo exercise that rignt, vutiout hold
ing ourselves accountable to every one, who
choses to call upon us thro' the medium of the l
Proas. Rill when It is said thnt. hp iiiniilu (" 1
Wilmington have volunteered their udvice unask
ed, or that they have interfered, n any way, either
individually or collectively in the management of
the Raleigh and Gaston Koad, we pronounce the
assertion (to use the mildest possible language)
utterly unlbundea in fact.
vY e were, of course, opposed to the building of
that Road, in the fi:st instance; and for th it op
position, no one can hold us culpable who will re .
call the circumstances under which it tras built.
Upon such a trial, "Common Sense" himself, in
the excise of a modicum of that article displayed
in his signature, would be compelled to acquit us.
But after it was JjuJIt. we used no other effort a-
ainsl it, than trrosr of a fair, aud open, and hon-

UARRIBD,
In Bertie county, on the evening of tbe 22d ult.,
by Rev. J Blount C heshire, Dr. John Hill, of Wil
mington, te-Mvs W illie J . Ruffia, of Biniu eounty.
in Orange County, on Wednesday, the 15th ult.,
Mr. Samuel Bumpass, aged about 70 years. Mr. B.,
was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a
worthy and a good citizen, and an honest man,
orble competition for business. We were not
envious ol the little life it had, nor were we un
willing to witness its resuscitation. Neither the
citizensof Wilmington, nor the Press of Wil
mington have said one word to prevent the neces
sary subscription for its reconstruction. Against
the sweeping assertion of "Common Sense,"
I can point to several article?, both in the ''Her
ald," and the Commercial" (and I believe the
same to be true of the "Journal,") in which it was
distinctly stated that tho we believed it to be a
gainst the interest of the town of Wilmington, vet
for the credit of the State, for the prosperity of
Raleigh, for the sake of the Stockholders, for the
benefit of those to-whom it was the only avenue
to market, we hoped that the subscription miht
be obtained, and the Road re-built. We indulg
ed no selfish fears of ihe citv of Petprihnror Wf
----- - . J . o I
pwc , uuiip iw tuin nci iiuu an iiuliui tuie
competition, and we have the best reasons to be
lieve that such competition would result in our
favor. We believe so now ; and are perfectly con
tent to bide the issue oftiir.e.
But ihe most unjust, ungenerous, shameless of
all his assertions is contained in the following,
although the Chief Engineer in his
official report recommends the adoption of a route
which he says will pass Raleigh at such a grade
as wiil make it very difficult to establish s Depot
here. What influence this difficulty may have had
in recommending the route, our IVilmingtunfriends
may know better than we.n Now this is an tw
pudent insinuation. If we may judge from his
article, " Common Sense" seems to be a man of
education and information. He must have known,
therefore, that the route was determined by the
citizens of Raleigb themselves. They were di
vided among themselves. There were the advo
cates of the northern route, and the advocates of
the southern route. The respective merits of the
routes were freely discussed, and fully, and for a
long time. The respective preferences of the cili
zens were urged With warmth and even with bit
terness; and. at last, the advocates of the southern
route prevailed; "Common Sense" knows tbis; ! 0f f0lir per cent., payable u the tilockhotde
