MR. BRAGG'S AND OEN'L DOCKERY'S
LETTERS.
We invite the attention of our readers to the
following letters of Mr. Bragg and Gen. Dock
ery, addressed to the late Railroad Convention,
which assembled at this place. '
We ask each reader to forget his party ties,
and to determine for himself, which letter, Mr,
BraggTs or Gen. Dockery's, exhibits the true
friend to internal improvements? Ay, further,
which letter exhibits a greater statesmanship
and a nure enlarged comprehension of the in
terests of NorthTJarolina f Both gentlemen
wt-re exactly in the same situation. They were
not asked, nor was it expected that they should
advocate the claims of the enterprise which the
Convention wa called to consider. It was
known, that as Governor of North Carolina,
which one or the other of them must be, they
ought to take a comprehensive view of the in
terests of the State. But they were invited, as
the professed friends of Internal Improvements,
to meet the friends of this great cause in Con
vention. How do they answer T
" Look here upon this picture and on this "
We do insist on it that Mr. Bragg's letter to
the Convention is all of a piece with his shirk
ing, non-committal position on this subject in
the canvass. It was the best opportunity in
.the world for him to have given the Internal
Improvement cause one word of approbation
to have given its friends one word of encourage
ment. He does neither. He consumes his
whole letter in framing an excuse to get away
from Charlotte, and seems much more anxious
to meet his political friends in Gaston county,
where Internal Improvements are notoriously un
popular, than to express a single well wish for
the great cause which has done and will do so
much for North Carolina.
Now, what says the Old Farmer of Pee Pee,
so rude in speech? No internal improvement
man can read his letter, without thanking
Ilfaveri that the cause has such a friend in
North Carolina. Every sentence has the ring
of th genuine metal. ..
Ilia vigorous intellect, unlettered though it
be, seems to comprehend at a glance the wholt
length and breadth, thn height and depth of the
important object. He sketches with a bold and
masterly hand the benefits, which are to result
from these improvements to all parts of the
State, and he says substantially to the Conven
tion, as he would have said to any similar body
convened elsewhere, "You are engaged in a
good work'I bid you God speed."
, He handles the matter, in short, like an hon
est, fearless friend to the cause of internal im
provements, who has no responsibilities to dread
no, concealments to make.
We venture an opinion, which a perusal of
nil the letters will confirm in the estimation of
even Mr. Bragg's political friends, that his is
the weakest and most evasive lettor of the whole
number. The letters of Mr. Ashe, Mr. Baxter,
Mr. Fremont, Gen. Dockery, Gen. Jackson and,
others, are full of thought and wisdom Mr.
Bragg's is full of himself and how he can't stay
in Charlutteand attend the Convention.
Charlotte, July 3, 1854.
C. J Fox, Juo. A. Toung and James W. Osftorne,
Lsqrs., Committee :
Gentlemen: I acknowledge the receipt of
your favor, inviting me to participate in the
deliberations of a Convention, to be held in
Charlotte on the 4th instant, for the purpose of
connecting our enterprising young city of Wir
mington with the West, by means of railroad
communication.
. I have taken occasion several times, in a pub
lie manner, to express my views of what I think
should be the policy of the State in reference
to your proposed object.
I have been a warm friend to internal im
provement my whole life long, and I am deeply
committed on this subject on the legislative and
public records of the country for twenty-one
years past. I cannot, therefore, but rejoice at
these multiplying evidences of progress and de
velopment, which meet us at every point. The
State should, undoubtedly, carry on to comple
tion and successful operation the great enter
prise in which she is now engaged, with its ex
tensions eastward and westward ; but, at the
same time, she should allow and encourage
other enterprises to grow up side by side with
her own, having the same object in view, name
ly, the concentration or her trade within her
own ports.
Your road, I regard, so far as its route has
been indicated to me, as thoroughly North
Carolinian. It seeks to build up a city on our
own coast, to which we are already much in
debted for what she has done in the noble work
of internal improvement. With two such sea
ports as, with the requisite aid from the State
and Federal Goverment, I believe Wilmington
and Beaufort can be made, North Carolina
must soon rank among the foremost States of
tSe Union in wealth, population and political
power.
And your project, gentlemen, in common
with others of a similar character, will not only
build up cities in the East but it will contrib
me much towards unlocking the hitherto hid
den treasures of the West, and bringing to
light the fact, which, I believe, future develop
ments will fully establish, that we have in
Western North Carolina one of the richest re
gioris on the globe, whether in agricultual,
manufacturing or mineral resources. The end
of all those improvements is not barely to make
ourselves richer but they tend, besides that
and far above that, to unite the two sections of
North Carolina, the East and the West, now
not sufficiently acquainted with each other, in
the bonds of a fraternity that can never be
broken.
Thus feeling, Gentlemen, I can but hope that
your Convention may be harmonious in its de
liberations and fruitful in the results for which
it has been called. I regret that the urgent
duties of the position in which I have been
placed by ray friends, will not allow me to re
main over and consult with you upon plans
for the good of the Old North State.
Asking you, Gentlemen, to convey for me
these sentiments to the Convention, I aui, ver
truly, your obedient servant,
ALFRED DOCKERY.
Charlotte, July 3rd, 1854.
Gentlemen : Your letter, inviting me to at
tend the Rail Road Convention,, to assemble in
Charlotte the 4th instant, (to-morrow,) was re
ceivfid some f6w days since, and it would give
,-me much pleasure to be present and witness
I tne uenuerations ot the Convention upon a sub
ject of so much importance to the people of the
State ns- that of the contemplated Rail Road
from Wilmington to Jonesboro'.
Some of my political friends have made an
appointment for me to address the people of
Gaston, at Dallas, on the 4th, and that will be
the only opportunity I shall have, prior to the
, ensuing election, to meet the people of that
bounty. My competitor has made an appoint
ment to address the people of Lincoln on the
0I? ijD acd here 1 desi-e to meet him.
I could not, therefore, were I to remain in
Charlotte, do more, I wppoee, than witness
the organization of the Convention, as I should
be compelled to leave in the afternoon of th
day on which it meets, in order to reach Lin
colnton the next day in time.
Under the circumstances, I am therefore
compelled to foreyo the pleasure I should other
wise have in meeting so large and intelligent b
portion of my fellow-citiiens as will doubtless
assemble on this occasion, and interchanging
sentiments with them, upon the important
subject which calls them together,. .
Very respectfully, your obd't serv't,
THOS; BRAGG.
Dr. Charles J. Fox, John A. Young, James
W. Osborne, Esqs., Committee.
CONGRESSIONAL.
In Senate, July 15, 1854.
Natal Depot at Beaufort.
Mr. Badger submitted the following ; which
was considered by unanimous consent, and
agreed to :
Ordered, That the report of the Secretary of
the Navy, in compliance with the resolution of
the Senate of the 26th of March, 1853, in rela
tion to the establishment a naval depot at
Beaufort, in North Carolina, with the accompa
nying documents and map or chart, be printed,
and that three thousand additional copies be
furnished, five hundred of which shall be for
the use of the Navy Department, and that the
map or ch-m be engraved and printed under
the direction of the superintendent of the
Coast Survey.
Commander Ingraham:
Mr. Gwiv. Mr. President, I for the last five
or six montns, mere nas oecn lying on me la
ble a House joint resolution "of thanks of Con
gress, and the presentation of a medal to Cap
tain Duncan IN. lngraliam.
The object is to bestow some testimonial on
him for his gallant conduct in the rescue of
Koszta at Smyrna. It was reported from the
Committee on Naval Affairs several months
ago; but the Senator from North Carolina
then wished to add some amendments to it, to
which I believe there is now tto objection on
the part of the Committee on Naval Affairs.
The motion was agreed to; and the Senate,
as in Committee of the Whole, proceeded to
consider the joint resolution.
It proposes to-present the thanks of Congress
to Duncan N. Ingraham, commanding the Uni
ted States sloop of-war St. Louis, for his judi
cious and gailant conduct on the 2d day of Ju
ly, 1853, in extending the protection of the
American Government to Martin Koszta, by
rescuing him from forcible and illegal seizure
and imprisonment, on board the Austrian brig-
of-war Hussar ; and the President is requested
to cause to be made a medai, with suitable de
vices, and presented to Captain Ingraham, as a
testimonial ol the high sense entertained by
Congress of bis valor, promptness, and judi
eious conduct on the above memorable occa
sion. The President is to cause this resolution to
be communicated to Captain Ingraham, in
such terms as he may deem best calculated to
give effect to the objects contemplated.
Sir. Badger. Mr. President,; the,reason why
I suggested that I wished to make some amend
ments to this resolution, was not at all because
I was reluctant to do honor to the officer to
whom the resolution refers, and who I think is
eminently entitled to be distinguished by a
proper vote of Congress on the occasion. But
upon looking into the resolution, I found that
by some oversight the precedents that had ta
ken place in our history had not been attended
to. In the first place, I remarked that the high
est testimony of regard which can be conferred
upon an officer of the Army or Navy, entirely
ibove even medals and swords, ! is the thinks
of Congress. In the naval history of this coun
try, the thanks have been given to naval officers
but on three occasions, and these were to the
commanders of squadrons Perry and McDon
ough, on our lakes, and Commodore Preble for
his extraordinary naval campaign on the Med
iterranean. Neither Hull, nor Bainbridge, nor
Decatur, nor any of those gallant officers who
signalized themselves in doing honor to the
country in single combats,' ever received a vote
of the thanks of Congress. I think, therefore
that, with regard to Commander Ingraham, he
will have no reason to complain if the resolu
tion puts him on a footing with Hull, and Bain
bridge, and Decatur, and Jacob Jones, and
other officers of that kind. !
In the next place, Mr. President, the third
section directs that these resolutions shall be
communicated to this officer by tire President
of the United States, in such manner as he may
think best calculated to give effect ) to the pur
pose of Congress. Now, sir, that has never
been done in the naval service of the coantry,
either to him who commanded a single vessel,
or him who commanded a squadron. There are
Cases in which Congress have passed expres
sions of approbation in respect to officers, who
have fallen in the service of the country, when
they have directed the President tq communi
cate to the surviving relatives the condolence
of Congress in the affliction which the"y, as well
as the country, ,had sastained. I
I propose, therefore, to amend the resolution
in this way, which will put it; precisely on a
footing with the resolutions which Congress
adopted for the officers I have named Hull,
Decatur, Jacob Jones, Bainbridge,' and' others.
I propose to strike out tbe first section which con
tains a vote of thanks, to amend the secofidsection
by striking out all of that section after tf e word
President " in line three, and to insert the
words which I send to the Chair; and third, to
strike out the third section, which directs these
resolutions to be communicated to Commander
Ingraham. It will then consist of one single
resolution, brief, direct, and equivalent to what
was done in the case of the officers 1 have men
noned. After that is done 1 shall have an
amendment to offer to the title. ' ' If the amend
ments I now propose be adopted, the joint res
olution will read:
Resolved, &c, That the President of the
United States be, and he is herehy, requested
to cause to be made a medal, with suitable de
vices, and presented to Commander Duncan N
Ingraham, of the Navy of the j United States,
as a testimonial oi toe nign sense entertained
by Congress, of his gallant conduct on the 2d
of July, 1853, in -extending protection to Mar
tin Koszta by rescuing him from illegal seizure
and imprisonment on board the Austrian war
brig Hussar. i '
The amendments were agreed to, the joint res
dution was reported to the Senate as amended,
ind the amendments were concurred in, and
ordered to be engrossed. The joiht resolution
was ordered to a third reading, read a third
time, and passed ; and, on motion by Mr.
Badoer, its title was amended So as to read :
A jjint resolution, directing the presentation
of a medal to Commander Duncan N. Ingra

STATE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT CON
VENTION.
Mr. Gales; Many persons are discussing
;he proposition of holding a ' State Internal
Improvement Convention," sometime during
the fall. I think every friend of " Internal Im
provement" must be entirely favorable to such
a Conventidn.; A general system for the whole
State, wisely projected and vigorously carried
out, is becoming daily more popular. It would
be well for the friends of the various local
schemes, which have been proposed, to meet in
Convention and unite, as I doubt not they can
unite, on some general plan, which will preserve
the main features of each, and command the
upport of all sections. But my purpose, now,
is to say, that if a State Convention is to be held,
Raleigh is the place to livid it. That city has ad
vantages, in all respects, for such a Convention
over other localities. I suggest, however, now,
but one and a weighty-one, I think. If the
Convention meets any where else, there will be
a feeling. I do not say justly, but naturally,
that some undue favor is to be shown to that
particular locality. This, will assuredly distract
the harmony of the Convention hnd weaken the
moral force of its action. On the other hand,
towards Raleigh the whole State stands indif
ferent. She is the State city. She is central in
position, and is pointed out, I am norsufidd, by
every consideration of policy and propriety, a
the place where "the Stat Internal Improve
ment Convention " should be held.
CONCORD.
FOR THE REGISTER.
Mr. Gales: I have for some time thought
that we should have a raihoad from Milton,
through lloxborough, Oxford, Louisburg And
Nashville, to intersect with the Wilmington
road. The proposed road would not conflict
with any existing improvement, but, on the con
trary, it would be tributary to them all. It
would bring all the intervening country frtm
Milton down into communication with Wil
mington, and would swell the tide of trade and
transportation upon the road to that place.
When the Central Railroad is extended east
ward to Beaufort, that also will be the recipient
of the trade and travel of the proposed improve
ment. The people of Caswell, Person, Granville,
Franklin and Nash have therefore all these fa
vorable circumstances to stimulate them to the
enterprise. They will be brought in more im
mediate connection with the Raleigh and Gas
ton Road, and will have the choice of the mark
ets of Richmond, Petersburg, Norfolk, W il
mington, and, eventually, Beaufort. A large
portion of the country to be traversed by the
proposed road cannot at present be said to be
in connection with any of thee markets ; and
none of it to the extent that it would be when
that road shall be completed.
It will be emphatically a North Carolina
road, and will bring a large and fertile portion
of the interior into communication with North
Carolina sea-ports ; and yet it is not suggested
in any sectional spirit, but, on the contrary, I
deem it an advantage, that it will facilitate
travel and trade to the sea ports of Virginia.
The counties through which the road would
pass, may count upon aid, not only from Wil
mington and Beaufort, but from the friends of
all the existing roads in the State. The Wil
mington Road, the Raleigh and Gaston Road,
and the Central Road, are all equally interes
ted, and will doubtless contribute money and
influence to carry it forward.
Would it not be weil for the friends of the
suggestion in all the counties through which
the road would pass, to call public meetings
and discuss the matter ?
From Milton to the Wilmington Road, through
the towns I have named, the distance could not
exceed one hundred miles, and perhaps may
be brought within ninety. It is favorably sit
uated for railroad building in every particular,
and the average cost per mile could not much
exceed ten thousand dollars. It may be as
sumed therefore that the road can be built for
one million of dollars.
If any doubt the utility of the scheme, let
them remember, that railroads develope indus
try, and trade and travel, where none existed
before. That is their province. Sixty years
ago, it is said that not more than four or five
travellers passed between New York and Phia
delpbia per day, in a stage coach ! Now, some
three thousand or more travel by Rteam between
those" cities. GRANVILLE.
O We are personally acquainted with every
neighbor that Gen. Dockery has. We have known
them long, and we know them well. W e have
been at their houses, ve have met them at
every place of public resort to which they are
in the habit ol repairing; and never yet have
we heard one of them designate him as the
"tyrant of the sand-hills," or any other sort of
a tyrant. What propriety would there be in"
such an appellation ? Gen. Dockery does not
reside in the sand hills : nor does he any where,
that we are aware of, hold rnlo or empire
among them. It is true that he once traversed
the sand hills, over and over, with his compass
and chain, at his own costs and charges, laying
off the county of Richmond in school districts,
with a view of carrying the blessings of educa
tion as near as possible to the door of every
poor sand hill farmer in the county. Tyrants
do not do such deeds as these. It is true that
with his own hands and at his own expense he
built a school house to which his poor neigh
bors might send their children to a free school
to learn to read the annals of their country's
glorious achievements, and thus be enabled to
appreciate the blessings of liberty. Do men
acquire the title of tyrant from their neighbors
by conduct like this? No: and he never got
it. The third day of August will show the ap
preciation in which the old farmer ofJ'ee Dee
is held by those who know him. His generous
hearted neighbors will not suffer him to be
slandered with Impunity by the supple meni
als of office-begging aristocrats. With a full
knrfwledge of his character, and an indexible
purpose to vindicate that character against the
malignant assaults of partizan mendacity, no
matter whene they come nor by whom they
are made, they will march to the ballot-box in
solid phalanx and deposit tor him such a vote
as no man ever yet received in that region of
country. Ihey know the integrity of him in
whom they are to repose their trust. Ihey
know the prestige of victiry that his name car
ries with it and they will neither stop nor fal
ter in their course.
A hero commands them who never did yield
Nor will his last battle be lost on the field '."

The Dead Revived. The Chicago Journal
makes the following curious statement ;
"One of our citizens was attacked with chole
ra on Saturday, and ahout 2 o'clock on that af
ternoon was supposed to be dead. His throud
was prepared, and was about to be placed up
on him. The storm came up the windows of
the room where he laid were open, the cold air,
charged with electricity, came rushing in, and
the supposed dead man revived, and came to
life. He is alive this morning, and probably
will ieowr."

It is estimated that no less than 10,000 people
are now moving towards the Territory of Kan
sas. A Kansas Emigration Society has been for
med at Harrisburg, Pa., auxiliary to the Na
tional Society at Washington.
Three children of Mrs. Brown, residing in
Pine street, St. Louis, Missouri, by a most re
markable coincidence were scrofulously inclin
ed, the eldest. (Jane) mo3t particularly so; and
the mother, finding such to be the case, did all
in her power to relieve the sufferer, but in vain ;
she became worse, the blood of the others was
equally impure, and they all three were so bad
at last, as to become quite an object of horror
to their friends. The mother.about eight weeks
ago, put them through a course of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, and 6trange, yet true it is,
that their blood became thoroughly purified,
and i he scrofulous symptoms disappeared. They
are now all three in excellent health, to the as
tonishment and delight of their affectionate pa
rents. 19

A CURE FOR ALL? I
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
Citizens of the TJkios, You have done me
the honour as with one voice, from one end
of the Union to the other, to stamp the character of
my Ointment with your approbation. It is scarce
ly two years since I made it known among you,
and already, it has obtained more celebrity than
any ower meaicine in so snort a period.

isTONISHING CURE OF SORE LEGS,
AFTER NINE YEARS STANDING.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. J. W. Langlnj, of
Iliinfsville, Yadkin County, N-rlh Carolina,
U. S. dated November 1st. 1853.
READ HIS OWN WORDS.
To Professor Hoixoway,
Sir : It is not my wish to become notorious,
nether is this letter written for the mere sake of
writing, but to say, that your Ointment cured me
of one of the most dreadful cutaneous diseases
that flesh is heir to, and which was considered by
all who knew me, to be entirely beyond the reach
of medicine. For nine years I was inflicted with
one of the most painful and troublesome sore legs
that over fell to the lot of man ; .and after trying
every medicine I had ever heard of, I resigned in
despair all hope of being cured; but a" friend
brought me a couple of large pots of your Oint
ment, which caused the sores on my legs to heal,
and I entirely regained my health to my agreeable
surprise and delight, anl to the astonishment of
my friends. (Signed) W. J. LANGLEY.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A BAD

To Professor Hollowat, 38, Corner of Ann and
Nassau Streets, New York.
Dear Sir, It is with heartfelt gratitude I have
to inform you that by the use of your Ointment
ana Pills, the life ot my wife has been saved. For j
seven years she had a bad breast, with ten run
ning wounds, (not of a cancerous nature.) I was
told that nothing ceuld save her: she was then in
duced to use yoiy Ointment and Pills, when in
the short space of three months, they effected a
perfect cure, to the astonishment of all who knew
us. We obtained your Medicines from Messrs.
Wright & Co., of Chartres-strect, New Orleans.
1 send this from "Hotel ds Princes," Paris, al
though I had written it at New Orleans, before
we finally left, at that time, not knowing your ad
dress at New York.
(Signed) R. DURANT.

AYER'S PILLS,
Akkw and singularly successful remedy for tn
cure of all Buious diseases - Costiveness, Iiidi- -eestion.
Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, FeTew,
Gont, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma
tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Sidey Back,
and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c, &c Indeed, ..
very few are tbe diseases in which a Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, and much sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm--less
but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. '
No person can feel well whiie a costive habit of
body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and -often
fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative.
This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tena to become or
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a
reliahle family physie is of the first importance to '
the public heolth,"imd thla Pill has been perfected
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes-- .
sors, and Patients, has shown results' surpassing
any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures '
have been effected beyond belief, were they not Bub-
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the many eminent gentlemen who have
testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention :
- Dr. A. A. Hates, Analytical Chemist, of Boston,
and State Assnyer of Massachusetts, whose high
professional character is endorsed by the ?
Hon. Edward Eveeett, Senator of the 17. S.
Robert C.Winthrop, Ex-Speaker of the Hons
of Representatives. -
Abbott Lawrence, Minister Plen. to England,
t John B. Fitzpatrick, Cath. Bishopof Boston.
Also, Dr. J. R. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of
New York City, endorsed by
Hon. "W. L. Marct, Secretary of State.
"Wm. B. Astor, the richest man in America.
S. Leland & Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred
certificates, from all parts where -the Pills have
been used, but evidence even more convincing than
the experience of eminent public men is found
in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the resnlt of long investigation and .
study, are offered to the public as the best and
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. They are compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtue
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process in a state of purity, and combined together
m such a manner as to insure the best results. This
system of composition for medicines has been found
in tbe Cherry Sectoral and fills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. 1 he reason is perfectly ob
vious. W hue by the old mode of composition, ev
ery medicine is burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative
effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qual
ities of each snbstance employed are left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it ia
self-evident the effects should prove as they have
proved more purely remedial, and the Puu a surer,
more powerful antidote to disease than any other
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
should be taken under the counsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, I have
supplied the accurate Formula? by which both my
f ectoral and Pills are made to the whole body of
Practitioners in the United States and British Amer
ican Provinces. If however there should be any
one who has not received them, they will be
promptly forwarded by mail to his address.
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how
few would be taken if their composition was known!
Their life consists in their mystery. I have no
mysteries. :
1 he composition or my preparations is laid open
to all men, and all who are competent to judge on
the subject freciy 'acknowledge their convictions-
of their intrinsicTneribs. The Cherry Pectoral was
pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful
medicine before its enects were known. Many em
inent Physicians have declared the same thing of "
my Pills, and even more confidently, snd are will
ing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action remove the obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange
ments as are the first origin of disease.
Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take,
and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise, from
their use in any quantity. .
