The survey ing party, under the direction of Coif W. B. Thompson, started from Newberne on Monday last, and commenced the survey and the loca tion of the section of the route of the above road, from ? that town to Goldsboro'. The News " says, that " the construction of the road will be begun as sopn as the survey is completed, which will be about the middle of n .r,.Kor or the first of November. It is the in- vv v - - tendon of the company to push the work for ward with energy to its, completion." RuLts of Court. The subjoined general rules for taking Depositions were adopted, (with , the consent of the Bar,) by the Court, at the late Term of Moore Superior Court. The Fayetteville Argus " recommends their adop tion by the other Courts of Law and Equity : Commissions to take Depositions to be used in suits pending in this Court, andi the Court ol Equity, shall and may issue, on application to the Clerk, and to the Clerk and Master, as other process ; and the following times of Notice to take such Depositions shall be sufficient : 1.

To take Depositions in the county, ten davs. unless in case of sickness, or intended removal of the witness ; then upon five days or, in case of any dangerous sickness, or very quick removal, three days notice. Revolting Murder. The " Rowan Whig " states that a man a fiend, rather, by the name 'of Holbrooks, hung his own son in Cabar rus county, last week. It seems that Holbrooks had sent bis son off to some neighbor's house : to procure something to eat, and returned with .! out itt Ilolbrooks then sent him back, and threatened, that if he returned again without it, he would hang him. The boy returned as before, whereupon his father took him out to a tree and hangod him. Ilolbrooks fled, but, we are glad to say, has been apprehended, and will . stand his. trial at the next November Court for Cabarrus. Mail Robbery. We learn from the " Ashe vYlle News," that Alpheus Tatham, of Jackson county, has been arrested and lodged in jail at Franklin, charged with abstracting from the U. S. mail, on the 25th of July last, a package containing $590, belonging to Captain Stephen Munday, of Franklin. lie awaits the order of the U. S. District Attorney. DissATisr actios. The "Charlotte Whig" and "Concord Gazette" are complaining of the officials of the North Carolina Railroad company, the former on account of alleged failure to comply with their contract to remedy all obstructions that the construction of the road might create in the streets of Charlotte ; and the latter that they have run the road a mile from town, and (to use the language of ! the " Gazette,") have ' palmed upon them (us) ' a depot of the '' dimensions of a good-sized chicken-oop." Railroad Contsntios. A, Convention will ' be held at Centre, in Stanly county, on Satur day, to take into consideration plans for con steering the western portion of North Carolina and the roads there terminating with the At lantic coast of North Carolina. Those who have called the meeting desire railroad com munication with Beaufort ' and Wilmington .through Fayetteville; " IIillsboro' Recorder." The Editors of ehis venerable and sterling journal contemplate its imm ediate enlargement, a movement in which, we hope they may be liberally sustained. There are few more reliable journalsn this country than the " Recorder." Conscientious and firm in the expression of its convictions, and conservative in all its instincts, it chal lenges the respect even of its political oppo nents. t Orange Agricultural Societt. This So ciety have resolved to hold a County Fair in October. , At a meeting of the Society, on the 30th alt., ! Governor Graham submitted a few remarks, based upon a statement which he had compibd from the census of 1850, showing the quantity and value of the productions of the county, tc. The statement is appended : Orange County Census Statistics. Population. 11,330 whites ; 481 free color ed ; 5,244 slaves. Total 17,065.

Hall, in Cincinnati, Ohio, a year or two ago, and was acquitted through the efforts of his counsel, lately attempted to evade the' payment 0t their fees, $2,000, on the plea of the exorbitance of the charge. The father of Ames, who had bound himself for the payment, con veyed away his property, to prevent its collec tion ; but the lawyers sued, and a jury gave a verdict of $2,250, and proceedings were institu ted to set aside the fraudulent conveyance. After waiting until th costs amounted to $5,000, the money was paid, thus verifying the old adage, "He who cheateth a lawyer, has on ly one more." According to an official statement by the Comptrollor of New York, nearly three hun dred thousand dollars were paid within a sin- , gle year in that State to surviving relatives of individuals who had taken the precaution to have their lives insured. In most cases, too, the persons benefitted were widows and or phans, who, but fur the forethought alluded to, would have been comparatively destitute. The Mexican ; Aruv. Gen'l Am podia's force at Monterey recently consisted of fifteen men and one hundred and forty officers! So says the agent of a commercial house atj that place, and the statement is not so surprising to those acquainted with the atmosphere of Mexico. The New York Times thinks that the cry of the age ought to be, "There is no God but Mammon and Dry Goods is his Prophet!" The Ogdensburg "Sentinel" tells a story at the expense of one of its subscribers who had stopped the paper because it had 'so many ad vertisements iu it. Just after he stopped the paper his farm was, advertised as delinquent for taxes and sold. After a while, probably by the ruin of his credit, he discovered his "fix," and, by spending two days' time and paying ten per cent, penalty, he redeemed bis farm. On his way home, he stopped at the Sentinel office and j re subscribed, and departed a wiser man. j Florida. The election in this State is to be I held on. the first Monday of October. It is for a member of Congress, and for a State Legisla ture, which will have the appointment, of a United States Senator in place of Mr. Morton, whose term will expire on the 3d of March next. The cauvass is carried on quite actively. Mechanics. The South Side Democrat states that Petersburg is in the greatest need of me chanics. Carpenters, bricklayers, and good mechanics of all descriptions can get the best of wages aud plenty of work to do. Miss Dix, the philanthropist, sailed from New York on Saturday for Europe. Her visit has a two-fold object, the benefit of the insane and the improvement of her health. Several new bales of cotton have been re ceived at Charleston, and sold at 9 cents a lb. There was a thiek hoar frost in some parts of Hudson county, N. J., on Wednesday morn ing last. Heroism. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from the Fauquier Springs, relates the following incident : "Last Monday morning the Lexington Cadets, under the command of Col. Smith, of the Vir ginia Military Institute, visited tho Warrentan Springs, and at evening had a parade. During this parade a young man, in "returning ram uier," accidentally thrust his bayonet through his hand, fulk six inches, without any word or exclamation ; he drew his hand off, and went through the manual and drill ; so quiel was he, that the Jile on his right was not aware of the accident." Advice to Ladies. The editor of the Spring field Republican tells the ladies of that city to practice at home the art of raising the dress .. i l . i . it. .1 ;or a muuuy uay id tne streets, ne recently saw an instance where the display of a hand s breadth of flannel transformed a divinity into a dowdy. Immaculate hose and showy dimity are well, no more. The Waukessha (Wisconsin) Democrat has an editorial about the speed of cars on a cer tain western railroad, of which the following is the closing paragraph : "Travellers of leisure, however, say they like this road, better than any other in the country, it is so much like the Erie canal they can jump off to pick straw berries, shoot pigeons, liquor up, Ac., and occa sionally return to sit on the cars to rest. Last week we conversed with a farmer on the line of the road, who happened to have three sheep killed on the track. He informed us that he had spent ten days in rain in endeavoring to find out who owned the road, that he might sue for damages ; he then consulted an attor ney, who informed him that he could not prove that the cars ran fast enough to overtake a sheep or anything else. A horse thief, who was arrested in Fon du Lac a short time since, upon being informed that he would be sent to the penitentiary at Milwaukee, said he did not care if they sent him by railroad, as his time would expire before he reached there' John Mitchell is out in another letter to Archbishop Hughes. Mitchell is writing down the attempts of the Roman priesthood to obtain political ascendency wherever and whenever it is possible in America, Europe, and every where else. Addressing himself to the priest hood, in general, in the person of the Archbi shop, the editor of the Citizen exclaims : . "The Constitution of America (which may God long preserve I) happily fixes a bit between the teeth of you all ; and clips your claws and draws your tangs, v. our High Church doc trines must remain a t heory here forever, and although your Urace should wear a Hat as red as fire, you will aardly in our time preside at the auto da fe in the Park. Though your stock Logs be as crimson, you will never, never, wade in the blood of heretics through the streets of New York," The Fires in the Great Forests at the North and West have "played hob" with the denizens of the wilderness.. Bears, squirrels, deer, etc., all have their lastnesses destroyed ; and from the whirling names which traverse so swiftly mountain, valley, and glade, they have no refuge but to fly to the precincts of hu man habitation. The organist in a church in Boston, on Sun day the 27 tb ult., in endeavoring to draw music fromfhe organ, was nonplussed when became to the E flat and the F natural. He found the E very flat, and the F extremely unnatural. The cause, which was discovered the next day, (by looking shay) was that the rats had built a nest at the bottom, ot the pipes. African Curiosities. The Norfolk Argus states that the foot of a negro boy in Portsmouth, fourteen years old, measures full 12 14 inches. I and there is a little African in Norfolk, aged about nine years, whose head is 81-2 inches long, and 2 1 2 to 3 inohes thick. Gen. Downs, collector of New Orleans, whose reported death was contradicted, ft has been ascertained, is really dead. He died in Ken tucky. . New Hampshire is the most free from colored population of any State in the Union ; there are towns in the State in which a black face was never seen. The St. Louis Democrat gives two columns of public sentiment extracted from numerous papers, in favor of Mr.. Benton for the Presi dency. The population of Sah Francisco is estimafed at 55.000. It has 9 daily papers, 2 tri-week-liee, 7 weeklies and 1 monthly magazine. Travelling South The bearing of the sun southwardly is very apparent, and we are fast approaching the winter solstice, notwithstand ing the overpowering heat. The days are now fully two hours shorter than on the 22dofJnne. Tiirottli'yg. In one ot tne districts in In- dianathe candidates for Congress have had each other by the throat. The cause seems to have been the difficulty of swallowing Hnme of the inconsistencies of the incumbent. It is stated that during the late Spanish in surrection, one ot the principal republican clubs held in Madrid met at the house of the American Ambassador, the Hon. Pierre Soule. This extraordinary fact, it is thought, may lead to some action on the subject by the Spanish ; government, which, though liberal, is not r.'pub can, nor in any wise favorable to the Ameri cans. The diamond for the finding of which a Bra zilian slave received his freedom, a few months since, has been deposited in a London banking house. It weighs 254 carats, and its estimated value is 280,000 or, in round numbers, $1,400,000. IIioofalctiv. Lady Hulwer, in her last book "Behind the Scenes" gives the follow ing definition of a lover: "That magniloquent incarnation of egotism, who, J aruissus-li ke, when gazing at the reflection of his own image, sees in the hyaline of her deeper nature," tc. This is a hiaher line of writing than any we have been used to. Who can translate ? The Nashville, (Tenn.) Whig says the Know Nothings are thoroughly organized in that city. Corn is selling in Gallatin, Tenn., at $2.90 to $3,10 per bushel. A young lady lost her balance, the other day, while looking over the wharf at Norfolk, and fell into the dock. Two gentlemen immediate-. lv jumped in and rescued her but the Beacon says that the danger is not yet over, as one of the gentlemen has been troubled with a pain in bis left side, near the region oj tie Mart, ever since. ' DOUGLAS AT CHICAGO. Chicago, Sept. 2. An immense assemblage met in the open air last night to hear Mr. Douglas on the Nebraska and River and Har bor Bills. He was greeted with yells and groans, and the assemblage refused to listen to him. ; He made several attempts to speak, but finally left the stand at half past ten. There was no other disturbance. "Off with their Heads." A despatch from Washington to the Baltimore Patriot states ' upon undoubted authority " that several "Know Nothing" clerks in the City Post Office were decapitated on Tuesday by order of Col. Berret, the Postmaster. This he does to meet the wishes of the Democratic party and of the Administration. The editor of a Massachusetts paper, devoted to the temperance cause, is delighted to learn that the "Czar refuses to retreat," The next steamer, he hopes, will brinjf the news of his joining the teetotallers. An Italian Beggar was arrested in Boston on Monday for insolence and abuse of ladies who refused to entertain his demands for money. In his room was found a portmanteau in which -was $72,16 in specie. He told the Police that he went to that city from New York, four or five weeks ago, and in that time had begged this snug little sum, and $50 in addition, which he had sent to Italy, the amount which charitable persons are disposed to give to beg gars is indicated by the following statement of the different coins in his possession, viz : 142 cents, 732 three cent pieces, 254 five cent pieces, 106 ten cent pieces, one gold dollar, and $14,18 in sixpences, shillings, and quarters. They are really a church-going people in San Francisco. They have now several fine large brick churches already erected, or in process of building, viz: The FirstCongregational church cost $60,000; the Catholic Cathedral cost $200,000; the Jewish Synagogue cost$40,00O; CalTiry Presbyterian Church (Dr. Scott's,) cost $60,000 ; two Baptist churches, say 100,000 ; besides some six or eight wooden buildings, fine and commodious, and every way comforta ble and convenient for large congregations. ARREST OF CAPT. H0LLINS. Boston, Sept. 5. Captain Hollins has receiv ed a communication from the Secretary of the Navy, detaching him from the Lyane, and or dering him to report himself to Capt. Boardman, of New xork. lhe .secretary expresses aston ishment at his arrest, and assures him of the unimpaired confidence of the Department, com plimenting his gallantry, patriotism and fitness fur command. At the inspection of the Cyane and Saratoga yesterday, the communication was read, and Capt. II. took leave of the officers and crew. The Secretary says that on the return of the President, Capt. 11. will hear further from the Department. STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE. Cincinnati, Sept. 1. A few days since, just after th steamer Timour, No. 2, had landed her passengers at Edward's Yard, near Jeffer son city, Missouri, ner tnree Doners expioueu, scattering death and destruction around, and leaving the boat a total wreck. At tbs latest accounts six persons were lying on the ahgre dead, and it was supposed that 15 or 16 others wex.e thrown overboard and drown ed. Owing to .the Cflilv-SV.1? ar,d excitement the exaut number ,o killed cojuld not be ascer tained. About eveatep persons were scalded and otherwise injured. RIOT, BETWEEN KNOW-NOTHINGS AND THE IRISH. New York, September 4.-There was street preaohing in this city yesterday afternoon at Bowling Green. The L-ish commenced throw ing stones, and a general fight ensued. The Kpow-Nothings, in small force, were driven up Broadway. In the melee an Irishman stabbed James Wood, and the wound is believed to be fatal. Several pistol shots were fired without serious effect. There was a disturbance also in the Park, but nothing serious resulted from it. Street preach ing fights seem likely to beresumoa. ; GRAND LODGE, I. O. O. F. Baltimore, September 5. The I. 0. O. F. Grand Lodge of the United States in session here have elected Mr. Ellyson, of Massachu setts, Grand Sire, Geo. VV. Race, of Louisiana, Dep. :G. S., Jas. L. Ridgeley, G. Secretary, ; Joshua Vanzant, G. Treasurer. VERMONT ELECTIONS. i The whole Whig ticket for Governor and Leg islature has, been elected. Sabine, Meacham and Merrill,i elected to Congress. ,: j . .j . Sensible and true. The following article i from the "Wilmington Herald" contains much of j blunt i goodj sense and truth. JMany of its views will Receive the acquiescence of all who have watchea the tactics of the other party and contrasted them with those pursued by our own: . - ! :T1IE YOUNG MEN. The: recent appointments of Messrs. Strange and liuffin as Solicitors, and Person, as Judge, afford us a text for a brief sermon for the polit ical welfare of the W higs. These gentlemen are all young men, and they bring to the dis charge of their duties energies not crippled or impaired byiage, but strong in the full enjoy ment of yuulh. It may be said that they are rather young for the grave positions they occu py, but in this we think there is error. It is a very great mistake to suppose that he only' who lias parsed the meridian of life, or wuose head is venerable with grey hairs, is best qualified to discharge thd duties of public office. Yet the hig party seem to have started on the difficult road to successfully impressed with the strength of this notion, and resolved apparently to main tain it to the end. Hence, it has become, shall we speak plainly, a bed-ridden, old womanly sort of an organization intensely fond ot cob webs and the dust of age, devotedly attached to the old ideas with which it started out, dis trustful of change and offering no inducements, holding out no bright hues to the young intel lect ot the party to exert itself in the cause. It would seem almost the settled policy of the Whig to snub their young men, to keep them back in the shade until they have the warrant of experience in their venerable heads, and their bodies, at last fitted for the tray, are tottering a long to their speedy grayes. We hold that the young men are the hope of the State ; - and while we would not detract one iota from the value of the service rendered by the old leaders of the party, yet we would advocate an infusion of new life and energy in our ranks, and we would cheer On th.e young and vigorous with the pros pect of distinction ; we would throw down the bars which block up their road to honor and fame, i There is no motive in the world why a young Whig should bring his best energies to the support of the cause. Let him labor as he may, let bim risk health, tortune and com fort, let him do all that a gallant soldier should do, and what, is his reward. Is he promoted? Not he. The old gentleman who has straddled the party for years, like the man of the sea, walks off with the prize it there are omces ot trust or nonor, they are bestowed upon the fossil remains, the venerable old Fogies, and our young friend is thrust back into the ranks, with the prospect, perhaps, of getting a cha.ice to realize some of his ambi tious dreams, when his legs begin to fail, and his blood runs sluggishly in his veins. How different this from the policy of the De mocratic leaders. The young members of the party are thrust forward they are cheered and encouraged by the prospect of distinction, and the hop? ot ojmoe. tbeir energies an stimula ted, their exertions are redoubled, because there is no drawback to their aspirations in the shape of odious discriminations, where age takes everlasting precedence of talent, and venerable mediocrity tsrows a pall over the young fires of genius, uae ot tne great secrets ot the success of the Democratic party consists in this, that they reward 'the working man in their ranks. and enkindle a zeal and enthusiasm among the youthful members, by holding out to them the prospect ot preferment. Hence, there is an in ducement held out to tne young ot the land to join their organization ; and the fruits of this policy are witnessed daily around us. Uan we wonder than the young man turns from the Whiga, and joins the Democratic party, when he knows that however bright his talents, or zealous his exertions, his claims for preferment are to be. indefinitely postponed by the former, j while they are speedily recognized by the latter T I How long is this policy to be pursued by-the Whigs? When will they learn that to the young, ! the vigorous; and the intelligent the battle be longs ; and that the fruits of victory are as well bestowed upon the chief actors of the fray, al though unsatisfied by age, as upon the antedilu vian remains which custom and misguided poli cy have raised into gods, and constituted the in fallible recipients. . Let us brush away the cobwebs, and institute a new order jof things. Let us give Fogyism its appropriate place, --inf use a new life and energy throf our ranks reward young talent avoid former errors, and we shall march for ward with better prospects of success than now seem to look, down upon us from the skies. "Our wafers are alive with fish. As we write we see from our window, within one hundred yards of us, Porpoises in abundance, disporting themselves ; parties of ladies and gentlemen, with hook and line, leaving our wharves to fish for trout, black fish, spots, hog fish, etc.; quan tities of which are daily taken, to the delight of those engaged in the sport. Within two hundred yards from our sanctum there is a mullet fishery, oatafajflg at each haul barrels of these delightful hsb. lhe clam, the scollop, the oyster, the soft, the hard and the Stone crab abound. ' We do not enumerate these table comfort tq make the mouths of our epicurean friends in the interior to wator; wa chrqnjcle them as in teresting facts, which as a journalist we are bound to note. Cannot some of our central and western co temporaries f the press leave tbeit editorial duties for a while, and come down among as clever people as North Carolina sun chines upon, feast themselves upon the deli cacies: we have enumerated, and then return reinvigorated- and rejuvenated to their labors? Brothers Clark, of the Atlantic, and Dimmoek, of the North State Whig, paid us a flying visit last week, and we doubt not their readers will reap the advantages of their brief sojourn Cannot ouri, Metropolitan brethren leave for season and visit Beaufort? They have labored hard in the recent canvass, and their patron will excuse them for a while. We wish every editor in North Carolina would pay Beaufort a visit before the next session of the Legislature. If all would come, and see for themselves, our labors: for:; Beaufort harbor would be much lightened, for such a visit would enlist ablei and clearer heads in its advocacy than we cat. boast of possessing. IfcaMbr Intel SSf Deficiency in.thk RETEictrt--'We hear it whispered about how truly. we know not that the next Treasurer's report will show n very material deficiencytin the revenue of thia State, notwithstanding,' the vaunting of the Standard upon the prosperous condition of our finances under democratic rule. Such a result would by no means surprize us nor would the. organ in thalightest degree blush at being de tected in bearing false witness. Bragjg is elec ted, and an exposure of the means by which that end has been secured could do no harm now. Before another election comes on, the organ will find some other straw to' tickle the ribs of the unterrified. And after all, it would. perhaps, be rather pleasant than otherwise to find that there is a deficitnev in the revenue. Our people love to be taxed. They eschew all participation in the benefits derivable from a distribution of the public lands, and choose be taxed for the benefit of democracy. Fay.

A grand row was ex pected at last accounts between the friends and opponents of the Nebraska bill. fceymour s declaration in regard to the Uu- bernatorial nomination is not taken in earnest.
