This is a most flattering indica tion of the rapidly increasing prosperity of tho Road. . Dr. Cullixs, on behalf of tho Commissioners for building the Weldon and Gaston Road, sta led that the y were not prepared to make a writ ten report, the work not yet being completed to m to turn it over to the R. & G. Company. He also reported that the cost of the Road would exceed the original estimate by about $10,000. L. O B. Branch, Esq.r raised tho point that this meeting should at once decide, whether the Conusiasioners should bo limited to the esti mates, or whether this meeting would provide for a further eubscription of $10,000 to complete the Rood. ' Some conversation ensued upon this subject, bnt action was deferred until after the Commit tee on Stock should report. Mr, Roulhacfrom the Committee on Stock, reported that there were represented in person, 627 shares, entitled to 362 vote. -By- Proxy, 7325 fhares, entitled to 3018 rotes. Mr.Branch submitted a resolution authorising a further subscription of stock to the amount of $10,000 for the completion of tho Gaston and Weldon Kond. - The intention of this Resolution was. that fe'XlOsbouM be subscribed by the Seaboard and lUanoke Company, or individuals associa ted with them, and $5,000 by the State. , Mr. Mordecai suggested to increase the sum to $"2O,0i.X), eo as to provide for all contingencies, and Mr. Branch modified his resolution accord ingly. This resolution was debated by Messrs. Mor I 4ai, L. O'B. Branch, BraWh of Petersburg, Collier, Bird, and Busbee. . Mr. Britton offered a substitute, authorizing the President and Directors of the Raleigh and Gaiion Road.'.in' accordance with the Act of the RAfllGDU MIL General Assembly, to receive any amount oflrion so Jair in profetswn.hhout whscriiitions which mav be indisnensablv ne- i j - r Mssary to complete the connecting link between utun and Weldon ; which was accepted by Mr. Branch, and finally passed, nem con. Mr. Branch proposed an additional resolu- t'on to authorize the President and Directors to fweivc and assume cDntrol over said road, when snipleted, and tendered by the Commissioners.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE WHIG PARTY. " If oft-repeated assertion could hare the force and eflfcet bf fact, fortunate; veald it be for the locoloco presses of the day, who hare, -at pre sent, and -who repeat, one after the othor, the parrot cry that the Whigs 1ia?e disbanded, as a party, and now have neither rallying principles nor leading men. Is it a fact, this fusion of parties which is pretended and, If s... v-hy should it exist? What Whigs have succumbed to locofocoism since the advent of Pierce? It is true, that Whigs find proclaimed by him, in his Inaugur al, many sound and wholesome doctrines which they approve, against which, if practised by the Administration, they will have no word of complaint; nay, they will rejoice to nee them enter into and become the policy bf the country. But tcorJi and acta are quite distinct. Judge Presidont Pierce by his last out-spoken ioordt, m.J t."Lll - . - - ire wui appear UMougfc-v siiia mctt, r;, far., hare .hrffimLtiJ tn f Iwr. Iirm-ritZri iar, nave bttftfjiaut! to ttt9 4lenm of -ap pointees, trom all parte of the Country, in the Cabinet, the Diplomatic corps, fiscal officers, in the Judiciary, and important trusts n regard to the public domain. Judge him by these, in the gross, and then say, whether he lias selected able, pure, sound men, who agree to, and will defend and maintain, the principles of the In augural ? Nay, but will Pierce and his Cabi net sustain and act upon them ? Who can be lieve it ? knowing the proclivity of locofocoism j to run wijd after the new notions .and isms of th day, in disregard of the settled policy and wise maxims of the framers of the Government, In judging the administration by its acts, the I Whigs of the Union cannot but Bee much to j condemn much to arouse the sternest opposi- j ton. Take, for example, but one single act, the Mission to Spain. Why did not Mr. Pierce appoint an able and patriotic American one i mindful of the rights of his native land, and jealous of its honor? This mission is not only. important, but. at the nresent time, an ex- ceedingly particular and delicate one. To Spain, j Freesoilers, Secessionists and Flibusiiers and an old and Imbecile monarchy ; proud, though Tthen take their strong but prudent measures, effete; holding in her feeble grasp the Island j in union with their brethren everywhere, for of Cuba, the apple of discord for the great pow- . ejecting an administration so unworthy to pre ers of the world, whose respect and good will serve the safety, tranquility and honor of the it uas ueeu uiuicuii ior us to retain, tnrougn 1 years of fiibustiering trouble and lawless at tempts against her peace and security ; to Spain, as if to sanction the former, if not to en courage and provoke other, and future, maraud ing expeditions against her territory, Mr. Pierce has sent the most furious fiibustier we had in public life whose feelings of attachment to the country, not being founded on nativity, are by no moans remarkably strong, and have hereto fore been only known by his allegiance and de votion to (he sxtetxss of his party, rather than so licitude for the honor and glory of America a refugee from another land; a mere habitan of wniOTi icreKuw, n auvcmurci i- ways ; a man of yesterday in toe United States ; j Not only was Mr. Soule a fiibustier, but he ,, ,- . . - .. i was a reckless disunwmst an opponent of the ; 1 i Compromise by which the peace of the Country was restored, and the agitating troubles growing out of former locofoco mismanagement, and ormer lofoco Progress, settled and healed ud it must be observed, on an examination into the acts 6f the President, that Mr. Soule is j principles and policy of the conservative Whig not the only one of this description who has been ! party-of the Union ; andsthat the people of the called to fill a high office under the Government, j So,uthf owe. to Mi!,lird FiIlm"f debt of grati r c, . . . ; I tude tor Ins patriotic supnort of the Constitu- In the Cabinet, the Recession wing of the De- j tiont an(1 ,hc maintenance of the laws of the mocracy already had three members Davis, : Union, which they fear they may never bs able Dobbin, and Campbell. Soule and Meade, of tho same heresy, are now appointed as repre sentatives of the Country abroad. Can Whigs, who watch vigilantly for the pre servation of tho peace and honor of the Country, behold acts like these, on the part of an admin- ly moved at their important and mischievous significance? Will they sanction the approval and reward of men, whose principles would lead to foreign war on one band, to civil and fraternal strife on the other ? the first to be caused by robbing a neighbor of her territory, tho second by the dismemberment of this glo rious Union of States ? For, we could expect nothing loss, should the rampant spirit of Se cession again rear its head, and threaten disrup tion, but that these officers, of highest place, will again be among the Union's foes all the more potent for mischief from their exalted po sitions. Nay, like :Lueifer, and his compeers, they may draw away from their integrity the true friends of the union left in the locofoco ranks, as did the traitor angels a third part of the host of Heaven. Can any Whig fail to see that mischief wide-spread mischief- may re sult from the trust reposed by tho President in these unsafe and unsound politicians ? Taking these things into consideration to go no further into detail, at present rdo we not sec sufficient to arouse the Whig spirit of the land into determined opposition to an adminis tration, which, thus early, in its acts, appears so reckless and unprincipled, flying . from fair speeches, which caught the ear of the people, to the old locofoco doctrine of paying for party services with the offices of the government, and serving the time in the attempt to conciliate the factions and consolidate a party, instead of 4 studying to advance the interests and add to the honor of this great nation. Yet look, for another moment, atthediversity and opposition of the characters of those whom the executive has called to fill the offices. Dis tinguished freesoilers from the North, Marcy, Dix and the rest the principal disunionists at the South, Davis, Soule, &c. These two classes are chosen, from all-the men of the land, how high soever their fame as patriots and states men, for the first positions in his confidence and council. Has ho proved himsolf, so ,far, the sound and true friend of his country whom Whigs can trust against whom they will make no opposition 1 .No-emphatioaIly, Ao He must be vigilantly watched. This man of fair words, bnt mischievous deeds and we judge him here, ana snan juage nun in inej iu tore, by hit deeds has already done sufficiently of portentous presage, to alarm the minds and arouse the spirit of the Whigs against him. High officers should, be tVue to the country they should be friends of the Union. When the President forgets the dictates of patriotism; barters the honor of .the country, for popularit y among the sections of his own party, divided as It is by schisms, but which he seeks to make one in Interest, by scattering among the factions " the public plunder," he forfeits all just claim to the respect and support of the conservative portion of the people. No Whig can coalesce with an administration thus conducted. Hence, we see commendably at work, the Whig masses of the country, rallying under their patriotie banners wheresoever they are unfurled. They are as united in defeat as in victory, their principles being immutable, and never to be surrendered. To see this, establishes the. views wo. b? Thev feel airfrowTitr we do, that the tolera- tion-of a political heresy infuses into it new life and strength, again to invite the friends of Union to the combat for its defenco ; and they see an administration which came in avowedly upon the principles of the compromise mea sures of Union, deliberately and sedulously hunting out the most rabid enemies of those measures, that upon them may be bestowed the honors and emoluments of office. The treachery is at length apparent, by which loco foco success whs achieved in the last Presiden- tial election ; and, despite all professions of at- tachnient to the Union, locofocoism is still one and the same. If there be those among us who have not yet awakened to tho necessity of renewed exertion and vigorous action for tho establishment and success of Whig principles, we trust they will dispassionately examine the characters of the men into whose hands power has been confided their antecedent principles and course let Ihem judge what may be expected to follow. whe all the high places shall be filled with nation.

A WEEK'S IMPORT. The business at the New York Custom House, for the week ending on Saturday last, says the "Times" of that city,, involved an Import of Foreign Merchandise, of nearly tive millions dollars. The Cash Duties deposited with the Assistant Treasurer of tho United States by the Collector of tho Port, amounted to $1,030,024. The following are some of the leading-items of Import; the proportion of General Merchandise, as compared with Dry Goods fabrics, being lar. j ger than we have ever known them tabs, in a single week, the aggregate value being $3,524, 324, against $1,404,936 in Dry Goods : Silks, Woolens, 353,182 Cottons, 181,727 Flax Goods, 132 425 Sugars Teas, Tin, Brandy, Cigars, Watches, Linseed Oil $406,999 108,469 376,698 193,477 100,000 113,28 Mis.

The coroner's jury, after in vestigation, have returned a verdict in which they say the accident was attributable to the gross carelessness of those in charge of the trains, and they have accordingly been arrested and will be held for trial on the charge of man slaughter. A town meeting had been held by the citizens, of Chicago; at which the action of the coroner's jury was approved of, and a reso lution was adopted, demanding of the persons having control of the' Southern and Central Michigan roads, that with all reasonable des patch they cause the crossings of said roads to be avoided, or that one road be carried iver the other, and until the same can be doney every train bf required1 to stop before crossing, and that persons be kept at said crossings to give notice of , tho approach of trains. A committee was also appointed to aid the sufferers in pro curing damages. CITY OF RALEIp, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NEW COUNTERFEIT; We noticed in our last that a new and dan gerous counterfeit ten dollar note of flie Bank of the State of North Carolina has recently been put in circulation. The counterfeit is made payable at the principal bank, and is a good imitation of the genuine note. The fol lowing marks will serve to detect it : The counterfeits are dated, May 1, 1852, Jan. I, 1851, payable to D. DuPre. s The signatures, which, in the genuine notes, are written wittvery black ink, in the counter feits are written with a pale yellowish ink. The upper border of the genuine notes con sists of eighteen blocks each, containing the words "ten dollars'.' the counterfeits have but tcceiiteen. ' ' The 'small vignette at the bottom and centre of tho note, in thegnuino note is - female fieure aeated an hw5Wrrtrnesjrs of whiooJi uisi'ncttfftoen with a plough, bitj iuv, iw., im iieEjucivanu. a emp in lue uis tance, under full sail anapproaching the fe male. In the counterfeit the female appears to be seated on a bale or bundle, and the ship in the distance is seen goingoyn the female. We understand that tlifhotes of this plato will be withdrawn from circulation, and new ones issued in their stead, as soon as the plate can be -procured. INTERESTING FROM MEXICO. In the New Orleans papers we have accounts from the city of Mexico to the 18th ultimo, and from Vera Cruz to the 22d. We extract the following intelligence, mainly from the Pica yune : Santa Anxa arrived in the city of Mexico on Sunday morning, thel7th ultimo, amidst tho rejoicings of the inhabitants, who testified by their manner the great joy they experienced at his return. The whole city was brilliantly illuminated at night, and amidst the booming of cannon and firing of rockets their new chef resumed his power. T The Mexican papers arc full of accounts of the enthusiastic congratulations with which the inhabitants of Vera Crux treated their recalled fellow-countryman, and of the manner in which he was received at various places on the route towards Mexico.. At Puebla, where he arrived on the 13th, triumphal arches, illumi nations, fire works, serenading, and so forth, were prepared for him, as soon as it was known he was approaching, and a deptuation was ap pointed to go out and meet him. The resi dence placed at the disposal of the General was that of the old Tribunal of Commerce. Here he was visited by all the authorities and other personsof distinction, and greeted with warm welcomes. The next day a magnificent ban quet, and in the evening a grand ball, were given in honor of the occasion. All business was suspended for the two days. In Oajaca, as soon as the return of Santa Anna was known, the Government authorities, officials, military corps, and the inhabitants. generally, celebrated the event with salvos of artillery, fireworks, imisic, and every ieplop8tratjoa of jIntifCt'placfes 6ft the route, and wher ever the intelligence of his arrival, resumption of power, and progress were known, similar demonstrations were made. DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM. We regret to learn that there was on Mondav night, the 25th instant, a very destructive Hail Storm in the neighborhood of Brinkley ville, in this County.' The Hail broke out nearly all of the window glass in the houses in that vicinity killed birds and chickens, and injured, mate rially, vegetation and stinsk of every descrip tion, where exposed to the Storm. Our infor mant assures us that the Hail lay on the ground next morning, to the depth of pome eighteen inches. This may seem incredible but it is nevertheless true. Mr. Benj Johnston, Mr. Thomas P. Matthews and Mr. James S. Wil liams were among the principal sufferers by the Storm. This Storm was accompanied with much Rain and w ind. Previous to it the weath er had been sultry. Though., this Storm was very destructive .where it jswsed along and some of our friends suffered great loss, which we very; much regret, we am gratified to learn that it Was not general, but confined to a nar row spaije in length and breadth. lloan. Hep. ZINC PAINT VERSUS GUANO. A Boston man, who has lately removed to his suburban retreat in Norfolk County, a few weeks since ordered some guano from Baltimore. In due time it arrived, and he used it last week in planting an acre of potatoes. A painter or dered some barrels of zinc paint from Baltimore also, and by some hocus pocus, tho guano was sent to the painter, and the paint to the farmer. An investigation took place, when it was found that the! amateur city farmer had manured an acre of potatoes with the paint, and complained that "it poisoned his haflds dreadfully." Boston Transcript. UNCLE iOJl IS CiCOTLAXD iECEniOJf OF the Stowes in Glasgow. Tho.prufessional Ab olitionist that is to say, the man and woman Abolitionists who live and thrive and get rich off of negro agitation is a noxious enough character here at home, but when he and ehe go abroad, as Mr. and Mrs. Stowe have gone. to bag Bri'.ish gold, and denounce, at the same time, the laws of their country, they are morally but tittle .etter than traitors. And, as traitors, we apprehend the sober-minded and reflecting portion of mankind even in Great Britain will by arid by come to look upon them.

VALUABLE GOLD MINES AND MILLS FOR SALE. fpIIE Subscriber offers for sale some VALUA- ULE iiVLU MliiS hve miles norinoi nutn- erfordton. In the tracts of land upon which veins have been opened there are about 850 Acres. Fif ty, or more, 6hafts have been suns, ana some 01 the RICHEST PYRITES ORES have been taken out, ever found in North Carolina. The lands have an abundance of the finest timber, affording wood upon the ground for tunnelling and for steam machinery and building. It is mostly woodland. The veins arc believed to be txtennve ana oj very great richness. Attached to it is an excellent shoal on uroaa River, Upon which there is a first rate MERCHANT MILL, Gold Mill, with Stamps, Amalgam barrels. large Furnace for roasting ores, and machinery of every kind necessary for the immediate working of I the mines. The 31U1S are aoout two mnes irom the Veins with a first-rate road for hauling to them. These mines, the Subscriber believes to be equal in value to any ever found in this State. They have been worked only to a limited extent and very unskilfully. Every facility will be afforded to persons desiring to examine them. The shafts have not been worked for two years ; but the mill is in operation with a good custom and is in good repair. It is worked by Parker's Iron Submerged Re-action wheel, and has ample supply of water. It has upon it good buildings for dwelling houses, offices, shops, &c-, and a very slight expenditure will fit every thing up for work. The Subscriber believes that no better opportunity can be afferd ed for the investment of capital to those desirous to engage profitably in Gold Mining. If not sold at private sale, the property will be seld at public sale at Kutherfordton on the 31st ol MAY next. JOHN GRAY BYNUM.
