rangements for a celebration on account of the
completion of the jhighly important connection
uetween the Seaboard and Roanoke and the

from the President of the firmer road was read,
conveying the information that a large number
of the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth would
honor us with their company ori Tuesday even-

citizens, generally, jto accompany them on their
return, on Wednesday. A Cumunittee, consist

completed between tiaston and Wcldon, by a
heavy T iron road, which connects this State
with Norfolk, by a road of nearly twenty miles
within the borders of the State. Then, the j
Wilmington road extends 104 miles., connecting
with the .Manchester road, completed, jsoutn, to
a distance of lifty-five miles, both of which roads
cannot be surpassed in construction, speed or
accommodation. The Charlotte and Columbia
road is finished, and seventeen miles of it is in
North Carolina. The Ridgeway Road, from
Claris'. i lie to the G.iston Road, is under rapid
progress, and the road from Deep river to Fay
etieviile is under contract. The Central road,
240 miles long, is n-arly nil graded, tho bridg-

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We extract the following patriotio observa
tions from a report of the Speech of J. B. Cher
ur, Esq , at a late Whig meeting in Bertie.
They breathe a spirit which we should be glad
to see emulated by every Whig in the land :
"He stated the object for which this meeting
of the Whigs of the county had been called, to
consider of the propriety of holding a District
Convention, to nominate a suitable candidate to
be run for a seat in the next Congress. The
last Legislature of tho Statn. n. lavinc off th
Congressional districts, had changed the old
district, formally the 9th, into what is now the
Ist, by an addition of three counties. Halifax,
Washington and Tynell. It was thought ad- t!i-s res)ects ni the Southern Cuuntry wil. be.
visablo by our Whig friends, that justice to the 15ut noro important interests are involved in
new counties required, ' that they should be this gcontest tliau the mere vindication and tri

J WAR.
j The warlike-spirit of this age is very much
I at a discount. Threats and insults are made

i European powers, and so long as Russia and
Austria can quarrel with Turkey or England,
upon paper, or through their Ambassadors, so
long may we expect rumors of war. But
whsii barriers are thrown dnvu, wli2a army
I meets army, and fleets draw along sida of fleets
then all is cordial greeting, and hostility is for
gotten. How else is the existence of Europe to
be maintained but by observing a peace policy ?
Crushed down with debt, restrained by internal
dissatisfaction, there is no power on the conti
nent bold enough to provoke war, not one,
which could rely upon the fealty of its own sub
jects. England might possibly place some re
liance upon her intiiusic s-ireng'.h, and think
h,e;-seir strong enough to challenge the world,
but experience has taught her that pe iee ish- r
true pian. Let Engiand'aoi' to court war, and
to re.-ent the insults constantly heaped upon her,
but how cmld shedare venture upon expenses, su
peradded to what now exist, enough to craze the
brain of a Babbago or a Buxton, to calculate ?
This country has nothing to do with the spear
and sword. She has turned both long ago, in
to the implements of peace. Tho appointment
of Mr. Soule, a foreign bom Jesuit, however, is
fraught with evil omen. Yet such is the good
souse of the age, that we may still hope for peace
with the proud, tenacious Court of Spain.
Certainly nothing was more injudicious than
that npuointnient.liothiug can be more insul
ting to a monarchy so sensitive to its weakness
and abasement.

The body recently known as the Virginia
Legislature has, after a "Rump" existence of
some ten months, at length undergone the
pangs of dissolution. It breathed its last on
Monday, the 11th day of April, A. D. 1853, and
its remains have been appropriately interred.
Contrary to the usual observances on funeral
occasions, the entombment of the deceased was
amidst rejoicings and shouts of gladness, shew
ing that the demiso was not considered as a
very distressing bereavement, but quite the con
trary. Thracian-like, the people dance over
thiR new grave instead of watering it with their
tears, and we think that in so doing they set an
example worthy of imitation in every similar
case'in future. Fel Int.

IVe re grieved to state tdatau accident hap
pened fo Gov. Graham Jn Tuursday last, while
returniiig from Raleigh, by which he was seri
ously ijbiured. About seven or eight miles east
of this,he got out of his buggy to arrange some
part offithe harness, when his horse took fright
and raft off. throwing him down and drawing
the whjjcl of the buggy over him. Fortunately
this occurred near the place where souie hands
were atj work on the Rail-road, and one of them
assisted him home, which he reached about ten '
o'cloekjat night. It was found tharlie was se
verely firuised and cut upon the face and other
parts ojf his body. At first it was feared that
the bmie of his arm was broken, .but we are
happy o learn that this was not tha case,
thduglthe muscles were badly sprained. At
the tinso of writing this, (Tuesday,) we learn
that th Governor. is improving, and we hope
that he? will soon entirely recover from the in

TAXjiTioN. " Mr, Speaker," said Ezekiel
WebsteV, some twenty-seven. years, ago, in the
House )f Representatives of New Hampshire,
"we haye heard from our infancy of the exor
bitant system of taxation in England, and of
the oppressive weight with which it presses up
on her population. It is true that no people
ever bore burdens like hers. Her system of
taxes isfclt, and felt severely jp every branch of
her, industry agricultural, commercial, and
manufacturing. It bears with a load almost
insupportable. ' U treads upon her people wiih

WHAT W ILL TIIE EPISCOPAL CONVEN
i TION DO?
i As the tiimo of meeting fur this Body draws
nigh, the ibove question :3 often male. Of
; course the present writer cannot state what iciil
' be done, bm he has his opinion of what c.tn and
: enniiut be iLiiie. There are three ways of pro
i ceeding that have been indicated by writers
upon tnis subject.
I. By virtue of the Canon, " Of Assistant
liisliops," it has been suggested to elect an As
sistatit Bis!;):is for a easo therein cuntempiated,
viz: inability to discharge fcipiseopal duty by
reason of otd age or other permanent cau.ie of in-
ft raul j,
"III - 1 . . T TA'. iL
"re, umi, uimer picscui circumstances, tno
Diocese of North Carolina is not vacant, either
by the death of its Bishop or his regular and I
canonical resignation ; neither has he been pre
sented, tried and degraded. How then, it is
asked, can his place be filled ? The difficulty,
wo answer, ts merely technical, arising from the
fact, that the particular case before us is alto
gether a carus omissus, and it is overpowered by
the superior consideration, thai no Romish Lay-
i man cm be, by right or fact, the Bishop of a
liro extant Jupiscojxil Diocese.
III. V has reiuiiins therefore to Uo dona, is the
j last method proposed, which is to declare a va-
cancy exists ;by abdication and abandonment,
aud to proceed at once to fall it.
The readers of English History may recollect
a parallel instance in tha ease of James II.
The Commoas and House of Peers declared,
that James, having by the advice of Jesuits and
other wicked persons, attempted to violate the
fundamental, laws, and withdrawn himself out
of the kmgdiun, had abdicated the government,
and that tiie Strone was tlmreby vacant. We be
lieve tnat the action of ttio Episcopal Conven
tion will be shaped in this last direction, aud
that it will commend itself to the approval of
the whole Church. .

Mr. Gales!: The very richest Copper Mino
yet discovered in North Carolina, was found
upon the lands ot Jonathan Stalker, in tne up
per part' of Randolph County, within one mile
and a half of tho Plank Road, and near a place
called New Market. This Mine was worked
for-gold 20 years ago, and was abandoned oa
account of the Copper ore interfering with the
operation? fir gold. Then, no one in North
Carolina knew of the immense value of Copper,
and no notice was taken of it. The vein lies
between a granite formation, and the Copper is
found embedded in the quartz from four to five
feet from tha surface. Huge masses of quarts
are dug out from this pit, and when the sledge
hammer is applied to them, they burst open and
expose the popper in seams, . often entirely
across the white quartz. I brought soma of the
specimens borne with me, . and they are pro
J nounced superb. . " TORNWAIK;:;
