Chris topher. Newport, the founder . of the first and. ancient settlement ot Jamestown in toe Mate of Virginia, ihe tirsr colonists came to this Country in two ships and a small bark , under the command of, this bold and adventurous man, who having settled them at Jamestown, was instructed "to spend two months! in dis covering and rcoonnoitering tho Rivers and Harbours! of the Country, with such vessels and crews1 as the council should direct, and to return with such commodities as could in the meantime! be procured, leaving the bark for the service of the colony." Newport River de termined the present site of the Town of Beau fort, and as it ri as an important bearing upon tne location 01 me terminus ui me contempiaieu Rail Road, we may be excused for a'more par ticular dsacription thereof. This river takes its rise in a district of country remarkable for its great fertility and inexhaustible richness and depth jof soil. ;fvv--b.r ' Lake Ellis, Long Lake and Great Lake and . the remarkable springs in that section of the country afford inexhaustible supplies of water to this River, and have no doubt greatly contri buted to make and preserve its creat uniform depth. Those lakes are very remarkable bodies of water Occupying a level many1 feet above the tide waters of the Neuse River, and its tributa ries, and tbus by Canalling affording the finest waierjower in ine country, mere are nne bold' creeks taking their rise near these lakes with which they could be easily connected, and emptying themselves into Neuse River, j To the farmer anI capitalist there is no part of. our country that offers greater inducements than this the jsoil is inexhaustible and of remarka . ble richness and the contemplated Railroad must necessarily traverse its whole extent. If this rich country is cleared up and drained into the tributaries of the Neuse River, it may be come a matter of very serious consideration, what effect it would nave upon the waters of Beaufort HrbarT as, it jjeajnld, necessarily de prive Newport River of a vast volume or iuu waters that flow down that stream and serve to keep open the Harboor. This; however, atnre- aent, is but a matter of speculation, and'we leave it to more scientific and experienced minds for discussion and reflection?' The Newport river empties itself into Beaufort Harbour mover, be tween Beaufort and Shepard's Point,; both 0f these places being immediately at its mouth, the former on the Eastern and the latter on the Wes tern side thereof the depth of water at its point of embouehure being about twenty feet. Gallant's Point is immediately above Beaufort on ihe NewtHrt river, and is separated from the Town by a small rivulet, which at low water is nearly bare the depth of water in the river op posite this Point varies from fifteen to seventeen feet, and there is a good continuous roadstead to the Harbour. Shepard's Point, it will be perceived, by refer ence to the map, is a narrow tongue of land in the shape and form oE a curved Javelin, pro jecting from the main land into the waters of Newport River and Bogue Sound. The tract of land at this point contains about six hundred acres, and is how the property of the grand cbildren of the late William Fisher, Esq., dee'd, who devised the same to his daughter, the high ly respectable widow of the late Bridges Arren dell, Esq. dee'd. This tract of bind varies much in width, being at the distance of half a mile from the Point, about three hundred yards wide, and in no part exceeding three quarters of a mile in width. It is surrounded by shoals of rock arid sand, measuring in extent from the land from five hundred yards to one half of a mile, and terminating in fine roads of from twelve to twenty feet of water. Above Shepard's Point lying on Bogue Sound is Whitehall, and, after leaving its vicinity, the waters of Bogue Sound becomo very shallow and are only navigable by flats and small boats. Newport River was orisinallv iln,l n,,.,. Biver, from tho tribe of Indians, who lived upon the present site of the Town of Beaufort, and jwere found in possession of the same, by the early English settlers of the colony. The Cores were a savage tribe of Indians wbo joined the Matchapungoes of Hyde County in their irrup tions upon the Town of Bath, destroyed many of the settlers upon the South side of Neuse and near Newbem, and were finally defeated and troken up by Colonel Moore, fa JJ 14, with the mo biuvb, uiq x uBcarvra xpuuins, in a pitched battle which he fought with tbem up on the lands .adjoining the Town of Beaufort, and now! owned by James Ward, Esq. j Colonel Moore destroyed a great number of canoes - which thev had collected, burnt their town and - bid tlrerrphnrtationrwASte. We are wenassured mill immediately ajier mis oauie, ana tne con sequent dispersion of the Core Indians!, the pre sent Town of Beaufort was founded, i And yet for this signal service, not even a street in the Town of jBeaofort has been named in honor oft the gallant Colonel Moore ! ' Our readers who iiava done us the honor to peruse our first num ber, will i recollect that the present charterori limits of the Town of Beaufort comprehend the Western part of all that tract of land beginning . at the mouth of Core River, and running up the River and Town Creek, thence &c., to North River, thence down North River to the Sound, - imd thence with the Sound to the Urinr,;n There can therefore be no doubt but that Pivers s Island which originally joined the main land ... nd the fecks and marshes lying on - the Wes tern side of the Town are within the chartered Bmits of the Town of Beaufort.

Tbia shoal is very nar row in extent and easily susceptible of being dredged away, and, it is believed by scientific persons, that when so improved it will remain permanently so. j.negreatsnip canaicopuecung the waters of Neuse River with Beaufort Har bour, a survey of which was made under an act of Congress and of which a most favorable report was made to that body by the accom plished Engineer who was detached for that purpose, is intended to enter the North River j ust above the town of Lenoxville. Lenoxville, i ;it i i 3 .. .... a. it win im rememnerea. is situate on me biuc plane with Beaufort and about a mile and quar ter from its eastern' boundary, and probably there is no section of the country in the world more eligibly located for a city than this plane upon which both of these t9wns are situated: On two sidea of this plane Are the two bold and fine rivers Newport and ttortb, affording the finest anchorage and depth of water, and on the entire front U the beacUiful harbor of Beaufort, and this plane, thus, surrounded by fine, bold and navigable waters on three sides thereof, af- fnrrla an area nf illfficipnt ztent for one of the largest ciUes ia on eounlry. Upon this plane whether it be in the centre or Western boundary thereof,, must necessarily be the terminus of the Atlantic Railroad. The counties connected with and bordering upon the waters of the Neuse, Tar, Roanoke. Chowan and Albemarle, constitute the richest portion of North Carolina and are capable of sustaining a denser popula tion than any other section ot the otate ot simi lar extent. The trade and produce of these counties go. to Norfolk, and out atOcracocke In let, at present. The building of a city on this plane will work a mighty revolution in this en tire trade. This great rioh and tax paying part of the country in tbia point of view is more in terested in building up .Lenoxville than any other place on the waters of Beaufort Harbour. This entire trade, which in a subsequent number tee shall shew amounts to millions of doUars, will take its course down these waters through Core Sound, which connnects the waters of Pamlico with Beaufort Harbour and stop at Lenoxville -there will be found a good harbour, a ready market, warehouses, capital merchants and all the appliances of trade and this is their nat ural depot they need go no farther there their interest and convenience Lenoxville Beaufort, and Beaufort is Lenoxville. If, therefore, the State expects to subscribe, or take two-thirds of the Capital Stock of the con tem plated Railroad, this is a voice that most be heard and heeded. This Railroad is the only work of internal improvement contemplated by the btate, in which these counties are immedi atelu and directly interested and what they will have to pay, interest or no interest, in the way of taxation towards this work, we shall al so show in a subsequent number. We repeat again, the terminus ot ihe liailroad must be upon this plane. We are at a loss to know whence the received opinion that the terminus of a railroad must be immediately at the deep waters, so that the produce and freight brought upon the same be emptied or pitched into tlie hold of the ship, has arisen. The producer in this country is seldom the shipper. The produce is sent to market, and there purchased by the merchant, and changes hands often, before it is shipped. The Atlantic Railroad Company nfd give themselves no concern about the shipment of the prole, carried by tbem to Beaufort. The capital of the merchantwill soon make an access to the -deep waters of the har bor. Only deliver it on any part of this plane and the merchants-of Beaufort, Lenoxville, and Gallant's Point will "do the shipping" without any charge, or bateaieat of price to the producer and owner. This is one -of the laws of trade it forces its way into its proper and legitimate channel. It is preposterous, nay.'it is ridicul ous, to say that the. immense produce of a great state deposited upon a plane, distant a half of a mile from deep navigable waters, where ships are moored awaiting it, for freight, can meet with any obstacles to its shipment. The people and enterprise that can tunnel mountains, change the bed of rivers, dig ship canals and barricade the ocean, can surely reclaim a little land from the water, or build fifty small lateral railways on trestle work to deep waters, the extent of one half of a mile ! Wherever there is an abundance of produce, thore will be more than a commen surate abundance of capital. Beaufort. Lenox ville, and Gallant's Point do not ask the State for one cent to aid them in obtaining immediate access to the deep waters of this harbour. With but one or two exceptions there are none of the great railroads of the country terminating at deep water. AH the great railroads of England have their terminus at London at one point in the midst of the City. The great Erie railroad terminates on the Hudson river,, twenty miles above New York. The termini oi the replead ing into Baltimore are distant from the water, and so ot Boston, Philadelphia and JNew lork. The produce is carried on these roads to the cities and the merchants find the deep water it is no concern oi the producer and Kailroad Companies. All that is required is an abund ance of room for the Depot, Warehouses and City. And these are to be found no where upon the waters ot iSeautort harbour, except upon this plane. The city of Brooklyn, opposite New York derives equal benent with her great neighbor, from the Western railroads, although they do not approaeb within a mile or two ol that city. There will be more capital at Beaufort to pur chase the produce brought on the Railroad there. than produce for investment the demand will be greater than the supply. The shipment is with the merchant he will not complain and the State and Railroad need not, as they have no ground for complaint. Why then think, even, of any other place for, the terminust This place offers a certainty any other is an experiment. This place has been settled for a long number of years, already has a population of some fifteen hundred souls, is the County seat, contains the Coort-honse, publnr traiWlngs, and several Churches, and is ascertained beyond all doubt to be one of the healthiest towns in the United States. There is no need of suspending business nere at any season of the year on account of aickness and there is still less necessity of run ning off every year to other places, in quest of uoaiva ana pleasure. i. uis is a great desidera tum to the man of business, and our fellow citi zens in the Western part of the State may visit it at all seasons of the year with impunity and without fear of sickness. These remarks annlv with equal pertinency to. Gallant's Poit and .ucuuiuv ure uiKirsi ui vm ia me interest Or all, as they all possess the same advantages, and would be equally benefitted by making the ter minus on this plane. The United States Custom Housr. i. t fort. By the Act of Congress of 1799, Beaufort wu uiauo a pon oj aeuvery only, and attached to the district of Newbem. with a SJ s.6"1 V-" aot of Congress of . wiwa, a new district shall Prf?4 of Newbem, to be called th district of Beaufort, which shall in clude the town of Beaufort and all the water and shore North and East of the said town to Harbor Island, and ill if t.. -u. South and Westof the said town, to Doe Island- inclusive; and a Collector for the said Port shall be appointed, to reside nd keep hie office af iheaid town ef Beaufort. , : Thus was Beaufort made port of entry and - ... X 1 . 1 . 7... tKMvcry, hu w. Tveaeis arriving and sailln from the harbor of Beaufort must enter an wax at toe vustoinfcewe id Beaxfort. This collection district will-not be changed, nor the Customhouse removed from Beaufort, for what ever may be the result of all the contemplated improvements, ; Beaufort , must, necessarily be the centre of all business operations, and the most convenient location for the collector, v In a few months the attention of capitalists will b directed to Beaufort and the contemplated Road, and our people will soon see how all these objections will be overcome and vanish, before the " almighty dollar." A new spirit and a new life will be infused into this whole scheme. The sale of lots b the Corporation of Beau fort, which will come off on Tuesday next, the 6th of September, in one point of view, is an im portant one to the Kailroaa company, ine lo cation of some of these lots affords the best site for the Depot and terminus of the Road in Beaufort Bear in mind that this is a work "not for. an hour, but for all time" the cars and locomotives ought never to come into the business part of a city the objections are le gion and it is hardly worm wnne to meuuuu them, as they are forbidden by law to uo so, in all the cities. It is to be hoped that these lots will be reserved for that purpose or purchased by some one for the Company, otherwise specu lation may run so high as to aeorive tue com pany of this eligible site. If the S.ati can be induced to take two-thirds of the Capital Stock of the Atlantic Railroad Company, thus placing it upon the same footing, as an act oi justice, with the Central Railroad. Beaufort will be ent ahled to take the remaining third and thus complete the subscription. How this can be done, we expect to show satisfactorily in our next number, and it tho same time to make an exhibit of the amount and value of the produce of the North Counties, their improving ability continuously to increase this product, and their immediate interest in building up a home mar ket and port. The present system of Internal Improvements in North Carolina, if permitted to stand still, but increases our tributary de pendence on Virginia, and, in fact, serves but to empty almost the entire produce into the lap of that State and to drain us of our wealth the profit will be with Virginia. Beaufort must at least be made the rival of Norfolk if the produce of North Carolina goes to Norfolk, that city will be built up both at the expense of Beaufort and North Carolina if diverted to Beaufort, Norfolk ceases to be the emporium of the North Carolina trade, and Beaufort becomes, as it ought to be, our great commercial mart. Wo shall again more fully and at large advert to this state of things, which is being enacted in the midst of us, whereby we are being deprived of our great ness and our wealth, and all of our labor, toil and expenditure of money made in vain. CASWELL. COMETS. The comet which made its appearance in the Heavens a few days ago, and which still con tinues to ' flame in the forehead of the evening sky," is attracting much attention among scien tific meti. Like a third-rate Pacha, it flourishes only one tail, but that one is of respectable di mensions, and affords ample scope, we imagine, for astronomical investigations. Astrouomers are busily engaged in studying the phases and ! motions of the majestic stranger, and it is not improbable that their observations will lead to a more satisfactory knowledge than we now possess, of the nature and functions of. this class of bodies. Our information on this score is la mentably im perfect and scanty, notwithstand ing the diligent aifu laborious researches of a Newton, a Halley, and a Herschell. In respect to the structure of comets, Sir John Herschell, the highest living authority on the subject, is of the opinion that they consist of something in the nature of a smoke, fog or cloud suspended io a transparent atmosphere. Whenever powerful telescopes have been turned on these bodies, they have not failed to dispel the idea which attributes to them solidity. The magnificent appendage, knowu as the tail, always extends in a direction opposite to that in which the sun is situated, and is do doubt produced bv the action of the solar rays in the body of a comet. The tail of the great comet of 1680, immediately after the passage of that point of its orbit nearest the sun, was found by Newton to be 60,000,000 miles in length, and to have occupied only two days in its emission from the comet's body. Its greatest length amounted to 123,000,000 miles, and covered ninety degrees of $he heavens. The tail of the comet of 1707 extended 48,000,000 of miles, and that of the great comet of 1811, 108,000,000 of miles. Aristotle relates that the tail of the comet which appeared in his time, 371 years be fore Christ, covered a third ot the hemisphere, and that of the year 1618 is said to have been attended by a train of no less than 104 de grees in length. And yet, strange to say, these immense vaporous masses are supposed to con tain only a very few ounces of matter. The tail, however, is bj no means an invariable at tribute of comets. Many of the brightest have been observed to have short tails, aud a few hava been altogether wanting in the caudal ap pendage. Those of 1585, 1063, 1665 and 162 presented no appearance of a tail. On the ether hand, however, some of these bodies are provi ded with many trains of light. That of 1744 ! had no less than six spread out like an immense fan. The motions of comets are extremely irregu lar. . Some move very slowly, others with great rapidity, and the same comet will move at a very different rate of v Velocity in different parts of its course. Some pursue a straight and others a tortuous path. It is for. the most part, after passing the sun, that their tails attain their greatest length, and as they recede from that luminary, these appendages gradually diminish in volume and finally disappear. The number of comets, whose advent to our system has been recorded, amount probably to several hundreds, but there are only four or five which are known certainly to return, and whose periods of revolution have been accurately cal culated. But there are many great comets no ticed in history, which are conjectured with a large degree of probability to return periodi cally. Thus, Sir John .Herschell thinks the comet of 1680, whose period is estimated at 575 years, is identical with that which was ob served at Constantinople in the year 1107 ; with that of the year 575, which was seen at noon day close to the sun ; with that of 43, before Christ, which, appearing shortly after the death of Julius Csesar, was declared by the poets to be the soul of that hero taking its place in the skies. The comet of 1556, which was supposed by some to have frightened Charles V. into' the ab dication of his throne, is believed to be the same with that of 1204 and S 75. Perhaps this is the same comet now visible in the sky. It is true, that the bast period of revolution does not cor respond strictly with either of the former ones, but we know that such differences may be easily accounted for by what astronomers call planets aud perturbations. What part these strange and mysterious lumi naries perform in the economy of the universe, remains wholly unknown, there being no theory on the subject that possesses even the shadow of plausibility. Some have conjectured that the function of these eccentric wanderers of the ' unutterable deep,' is to diffuse through the re gions of remote space the heat which they bor row from the Sun, an idea which we find very planetarily expressed by Tom Moore : " Their sole employ to pray and shine ; To light their censors at the Sun, And cast their "yes toward the shrine Of Him in Heaven, eEternal One." , But Moore's theory is not quite scientific enough for such philosophers , as Herschell, Brewster, Arago, Humboldt, &c. . These explo rers of the fields of air acknowledge their pre sent inability to assign any office to the comet, and trust to future investigations and discove ries for a solution of the enigma, -.L,. ..' j I Bichmend Timet. A;Pmcnr Gaxblkr. Priace Charles Bo naparte, who won last 'year 600,000 francs at the Hoihbourg Hell,' breaking the bank, has left Paris for the Tapis-Vert of Baden-Baden, where he intends battling again against the' bank. He may find, there his Waterloo, , JERRY" AMONG' THE ABOLITIONISTS A day or two trace, we spent an agreeable half hour in the barber shop of Jerry, who had just returned from a visit .to the Northern cities, nq. sqe ixiagara r iuu, iiswuiug u, uuwrj ml his adventures Among, tne apouuomsis, aa rela ted by himself. - Jerry ,ia ft colored servant, be longing to our E&-3Iinister to bpain, the Hon. Daniel M. Barringer, and is highly respected by an extensive circle of acquaintances tor his hon esty, good looks, humility and intelligence. The abolitionists made three assaults upon his fidel ity during his Northern tour, ihey hrst at tacked him. three in number, in -the city of Philadelphia. The oldest one approached and saluted him. when something like the following dialogue ensued : Abolitionist. "You are from the South, I pre sume, sir?" Jerry. (Not suspecting.) "Yes sir." Abolitionist. "From what part of the South are yOu, sir t" Jerry. "From North Carolina, sir." Abolitionist. "The meanest State in the Un ion. Jerru. (Fired with indignation and begin ning to suspect.) "Yes, sir ! Our laws punish, most vigorously, all rogues, thieves and gam bles, and I am not surprised that our State should be unpopular with these classes of peo ple in' other States." M.bolilionut. "Sir, you had not dared thus to have answered a Southern gentleman." Jerify. "A Southern gentleman would not have spoken so contemptuously of my native Suite.f But if! have offended you, I beg your pafdon. I spoke the truth without reflection." Abolitionist. "Well, I'll forgive you. If you love your native State, it is your duty to defend her when her virtue is assailed. How are you travelling, sir ?" Jerry bad accompanied Messrs. W. VV. Ebns and Jtio. Wells, as waiting man, travelling on an excursion of business and pleasure, and he answered his querist in the following vein- " Ijam travelling with my boss and another gentleman on a trip of pleasure. We expect to visit the Crystal Palace, and Niagara Falls, and all other objects of curiosity in the North." Abolitionist. "D n your boss. We don't know such a character here. This is "free soil," and you are just as much of a "Loss" as he is, if yod choose to be so." Jerry. "Yes, sir. That may be so, but I am perfectly contented with my lot. I am used well, Sand treated liko a goncloman wherever I ani known, and so are all slaves in the South, who demean themselves well, aud conduct the business of their masters with industry and fi delity. In nine cases out of ten, it is the slave's own fault if he is not treated with kindness and humanity by his master in the South. I have seen jnoro wretchedness and poverty among the colored population in one hour since I have beenhere, than I ever saw in all my life put together in any class in the South." Abolitionist. "What time have you, sir !" Jerry was dressed in a remarkably neat and fine suit of clothes, a large gold chain aud seal swinging gracefully across his bosom. With great ease and dignity he drew forth from his side'pockot a hundred and fifty dollar gold watch, and answered : 'f lack five minutes of ten, sir." 'Abolitionist. "Well, gentlemen, suppose we walk on. Good morning, sir." Jerry. (Tippiug his beaver.) "Good morn ing masters." IJerry says he heard one of them remark, as they went along, "if that man is a fair specimen of Southern slavery, we have been deceiving ourselves, and doing humanity an injury." From Philadelphia, the party.of which Jerry was a member, proceeded to New York, where a few days afterwards, Jerry was again attack ed by a party of abolitionists, consisting pf two white men and three colored individuals.. Af ter going through the usual ceremonies of a first meeting, the mouth piece of the party pro ceeded to interrogate our hero as to his birth place, present home aud social condition in life, which gave birth to the following conversation: Abolitionist.- " You say that you were born and raised in the State of North Carolina, and belong to our Lx-Minister to Spain, Mr. Bar- ringer; iuatyou aro now travelling with a party of gentlemen, who are visiting our cities on an excursion of business and pleasure, and wheij you are at home, you practice the trade -of a barber?" Jerry. "Yes, sir. Those words disclose my whole history." . AhJUiouUt. Well, sir, your general appear ancej your conversation, and -our manners be speak for you a higher and more noble destiny. Do ypu not think that you could make more ruoney, and live more hapDily in a"lree coun i try ?? ' j Jcrnj. "The laws'of my country bind me in , slavej-y to a kind and . indulgent master. The i lawslof my God teach servants to be obedient untotheir masters ; and until tho laws of my country are repealed, or until God vouchsafes to usjanother and a different dispensation of his divine grace, I cannot believe the white man is our sincere friend, who would advise us to vio late these sacred obligations. And as for mo ney and happiness on earth, they are only fleet ing shadows, ephemeral vanities, which are lost and fbrgotteu when we step into the grave ; and besides, of these, I believe I already possess more than my share." Abolitionist. "Ah! like the rest of your un-fortuaatd-countrymen, I perceive that you have been nurtured in the school of deception, where false tioctriues are inculcated and imposed upon the minds of a nation of God's people. Do vou not know that this is an age of progress, and that the rights of humanity bave higher claims to our sympathies than any laws that are given in thefieavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the wators under the earth ? We aboli tionists belong tho school of the higher law Di vines, and believe that old institutions are not suited to the present state of progress in the world." Jeify. "One would think bo after listening to such a speech. You would doubtless call us all "old fogies," but we of the South are content to be denominated "conservatives" in law, re ligion: and politics. Our fathers have lived and flourished under the present order of things, and, with the blessing of Providence, we think that we can do the same." Abolitionist. "Ah ! 1 see you are a "harden ed case." But before I quit you, let me recora mend'you to our friend Dr. Smith. He is the gre.atvjurgan of our Society, and tho High Priest of the, abolitionists in New York. " The law is such fhat you can be retaken by your master should you choose to declare yourself free in LNew Yorki but Vf. Smith will furnish you with uny oiiurs, auu ueviso tne means tor your es cape into Canada; provided that yob will agree to reffand the money when you get able. There you day live free and easy, regardless of the law, your master, and every body else." Jetty. "Do you suppose, sir, I would betray my master and break up all the fond associa tions, jwhich have grown with ray growth, and strengthened with my strength, from my child hood up to the present time, for the pitiful sum of fifty dollars, and a friendless home in the frigid clime of Canada ? I have seen no freedom a mongst your boasted ."free blacks" since I have been here. They are not noticed a whit more than dogs by the whites. They are not allow ed to fide in the public cabs ; not allowed to go to the; Theatre, or to visit the Crystal Palace. I have enjoyed all these privileges as often as I have chosen to do so since I came here, in com pany with my kind masters for the time being. And as for money is gold current in this coun try ?"i and before the man could answer this last interrogatory, he thrust his hand into Kis pocket and drew forth a handful of gold coin, which startled the speaker and his friends, wbo all bowed politely and simultaneously, and without more ado retired to their several places of business or abode. : The result of the interview soon became known throughout the city to visiting Southerners and their citv friends, and Jerry was he lion of the day during the rest of his sojourn in the city of New York. " 4 J Another incident worthy of oote transpired in New York'durine Jerrys visit to that city. A large wholesale dealer in boots and shoes without much South- em custom, fell upon tho device of inviting Jer ry to his Store, seeing that he attracted about him a large piimber' of Southerners. -. Accord ingly he did soY and when Jerry went he found his Store full, including the Southerners who went with him. .Whilst he was there, a gentle- mait frnm thd tniddln or eastern Pftrt Of thlS State steppedin and inquired for a pair of boote. He was soou accommodated with, a suitable pair, and offered a ten" dollar bill on the bank of Charlotte in payment. The clerk handed the bill to a fanciful looking youth, who was luxu riating his dignity in a large cushioned chair, with a golden headed cane in one hand, a segar in his mouth, and his feet on the mantel-piece, and asked him if it was good. lie looked at the bill, and with an air of supercilious contempt, exclaimed "Who are AVilliams and Lucas? We know no such men here." One of the clerks said he knew Mr. Williams, for he had seen him trading in the city. "No matter," respon ded the dandy, "it is too obscure, I wouldn't give more than seven dollars for the bill." The purchaser paid for tho boots in other money, and was stepping out, when Jerry, in a very modest manner, stepped up and said, "I am acquainted with the President and Cashier of thle Bank of Charlotte, 1 will give you gold for your bill, if it will suit you as well." "Certainly," replied the gentleman, "I am very much obliged to you lor the exchange. By this time a pretty large number of South erners had collected to watch over and protect Jerry, and they all evinced their approbation of his conduct by a loud burst of applause. Charlotte Whig. THE D MINISTRATION AND THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. The indications clearly are that President Pierce, and those of his Cabinet who have no opinion of tllgir own, are about to creep out of tho Pacifia railroad project, to which tho speech of Mr. Secretary Davis, the open assent of Mr. Secretary Guthrie, and the silent asent of President Pierce, committed them as a Cabi net and as the heads of their party. We have heretofore noticed the manly decla rations made in the speech of Col. Davis, that it was the duty of the General Government to aid in making the Pacific railroad, because, with out that road, the protection which it is bound to give to the States and Territories on the Pa cibc could not be effectually secured. Mr. Guthrie endorsed these sentiments, and Presi dent Pierce and others of his Cabinet, present on the occasion, by their silence gave their con sent to the truth of what was said, and the poli cy which demanded of the General Government to enter upon the enterprize. The Washington Union the uonie advocate, if it be not really the oran, of the Administration took up the sub ject, aud earnostly endorsed all that was said and all that was promised. So things wore a favorable aspect, and the press of the country some Democratic as well as Whig were encouraged to believe that they should have in the message of Presideut Pierce, at the opening of the next Congress, a warm and decided recommendation in favor of the General Government embarking at once in the enterprise oif making the road. But the hope soon began to grow doubtful from the misgiv ings of certain Democratic papers, as to the policy as well as to the power of the General Government undertaking the work ; and these doubts were soon followed by fears -which the explanations and equivocations of the Washing ton Union justly excited that President Pierce had no opinion on the subject, and did not really know what he would , do his deci sion being controlled by party policy, not pub lic good and constitutional right. The fears may now be said to have reached their climax, and given way to certainty. The New Hampshire Union Democrat, published at Manchester in that State, and edited by one who in the presidential contest was made the mouth piece of the then simply General Pierce, has opened its mouth on the subject, and now speaks for President Pierce, it sets out by stigmatizing the Pacific railroad project as a "Gorgon" which has raised its head within the Democratic: household, to distract their coun sels ; and says : Ws regard it as a monster whose enormity can only e measured by its length as mneh beyond any former conception of iniquity, as it must transcend all such in magnitude and cost. As such, wo mean to oppose it to the "bitter end." Wo need not say that there is no expressed authority in the constitution for such an enter prise. No one pretends there is. It is based upon a mere inferential powef and that ex iorted by the most shameful looseness of con struction. The Washington Union, as we have said, advocates it as a military necessity planting itself upon the war power in the constitution. The pretext is, that war may come--that California, in its opulent weakness, will be likely to fall an easy victim to any foe which may assail her; and that we are, there fore, under political and fraternal obligations to "come to the rescue" by means of the Paci fic Railroad. The hypotheses upon which this argument is based are as " far fetched and littfc worth" as tho conclusions to which'thcy lead." These remarks if in any sense, they may be taken as emanating from President Pierce, and that they do come from him, or express his feel ings, the Richmond Enquirer insists is not doubtful :hese remarks, we saj, of the New Hampshire Democrat, are nothing less and nothing more than an official denunciation of Mr. Secretary Davis, who made the speech in favor of the Pacific Railroad, and Mr. Secretary Guthrie, who endorsed what he said. We are not surprised, then, to learn that there are ru mors and reports of divisions in the Cabinet, and that now the probability is that Messrs. Davis and Guthrie will withdraw from the Cabi net, or be turned out, if thy do not change their opinion of the power and duty of the go vernment to make the Pacific Railroad. These are the last reports from Washington, and though they do come in a "questionable shapo," the facts and circumstances on which they are grounded authorises a belief that they are not without some reason to rest. So it may be that the present lull in party politics may soon give way to an excitement that will, in the end, we trust, eventuate ip upholding the right, by exposing the weaknesi of those now charged with sustaining iBaUmore Patriot. The Reaisox whv "Brtdder Dickson" leit the Church. Mr. Dickson, a colored barber in one of our large ejr England, towns, was shaving one of his customers, a respectable citi zen, one morning, whe,a conversation occurred between ttjeni respecting Mr. Dickson's former connexion with a colored chnrcb in that place.

"Why did you leave their communion, Mr. Dickson? if I may te permitted to ask." "Why, I tell yoij, sah," said Mr. Dickson, strapping a concave razor on the palm of his hand.
