AFTERNOON SESSION Justices of the Peace were appointed for the va nou counties of the State, The proceedings were an amusing character, with some serious debate, 'however. .Mr. Turner, of Orange, addressed the House at m length upon the Impropriety and unseemliness ot making the business of appointing magistrates a mere matter of fun. He said ft needed no per suasion or argument ou his part to convince every uu inUer of the House, that there had been a great tou.-e ol" the power of creatina: mariatratea by form t-r LctfisHtuivs. Every member on this floor had t . ..W-n.-e of it at borne. He looked upon the ap l.. iiituieut of . forty-two new magistrates which v. -is now proposed for one county, as a gross abuse oi the appointing power ; and though it might not be ibe uouulaj aide of the question, he would op- jo-ve it-, though he stood alone in the matter. He appealed, to gentlemen to know if they had not heard, in everv counur. freauent complaint, that a majority of the magistrates could not be assent bled when the public business demanded that they a no a Id bt. Such eorapUinU, he submitted, would not be heard, if each County bad only as many magistrates as was necessary for the wants and con venience of the people, and the speedy and prop administration of the law.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. JAN. 10, 1855. , THE LEGISLATURE. The Legislature has entered upon tha Eighth Week of the Session, muoh mora business, by the way, having been accomplished, during tba lt week, than during any previous portion of it. '. j In the Senate, on Monday, the Free Suffrage bill was brought 5p for a aecond reading, when Air. ilacouTour moved to amend the first sec tion, by providing that no unnaturaliced foreign er shall vote for members of the Senate or House of Commons, which amendment was finally passed by a' vote of 26 to 23, despite the stren uous opposition of the Hon. Asa Bioos, United Stmt Senator elect, who seemed, during the whole proceedings, to be undergoing a purgato rial process. More on thia subject anon. The bill passed by a rote of 36 to 14. In the House of Commons, on Friday last, the Bill introduced by Mr. Steele for the incor poration of a Railroad from Wilmington to Charlotte passed its second reading byiquite a decisive rote, whether a test vote, or not, wa are ua prepared to say. it will be reeoUeoied he this Bill requires the State to endorse the Bocds of the Company -to an amount not larger than $1,000,000. We have already taken occa sion to approve this principle in the construct ion of Railroads. On tha same day, Mr. Headen's Bill for a Charter for a Railroad from the coal region on Deep River to a certain point on the North Car olina Railroad was also carried through its sec ond reading. We regard this as a most im'por tant measure, and are gratified to record ita passage. We hope that there can be no. ob stroctions ia the way of its final adoption. It asks but little and promises immense benefit. The Bill for the extension of the North Car olina Railroad, East, to Beaufort, came before the noose of Commons, on Saturday, on its second reading, and was carried triumphantly through, only fourteen votes being recorded in the negative. We congratulate the people of the whole State, and especially that portion of them interested in this great and most impor tant work, upon the certainty of its final con summation. That the Legislature, in a similar spirit of justice and liberality, will provide for the de sired extension West, at least for soma portion of it we can have no donbt. To suppose other wise, would be distrusting the patriotism of its members. In the House, on Monday, a good deal of business was despatched, and quite a lengthy debate arose on the Bill to incorporate the Un ion Bank, to be located in Newborn, which was participated in by Messrs. Green, Jenkins, Cald well, Leach, and others. The Bill was subse quently laid on the table, for the present. We are compelled, for lack of room, to omit the details of proceedings in bojIIouses, onj Monday. Mr. Caldwell's Bill, providing for tha char tered tha People'a Bank, upon the principle heretofore shadowed forth in the communications fof "RiroRii," comes ap to-day, (Tuesday.) MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Our Charter Elections for Intendant and sev- en commissioners win taxe piace in mis vity, on Monday next, the 15th inst. gT"On Monday last, the following gentlemen were elected commissioners of the town of Wil mingtoo, by a vote of 463 to 67-: Col. John Mc Rae, and Messrs. W. S. Anderson, J. Northrop, H. P. Russell, A. A. Brown, W. L. Beery, and T. W. Brown ; and on the same day, the follow ing gentlemen were elected Commissioners of Fayetteville by a vote of 266 to 49, via: Messrs. T. S. Lutterloh, C. D. Nixon, A. McLean, Dr. W. A McSwain, W. T. Howe, A. A. McKetb an, Wm. McLanrin and Wm. Warden. It is shrewdly suspected that tha Know-Noth inga had something to do with both these elec tion. We regret to see by the last "Greensboro' Patriot,'' that Lyndon Swam, Esq. has retired front the Editorial Department of that valuable journal. Mr. Swam has been connected with the "Patriot" for upwards of sixteen years, and during that whole time has jostly commanded the admiration of all who have observed bis course and marked the propriety, good taste and vigor of his writings. We wish him restored health, and many years of happiness, in his re tirement, and extend to his worthy associate, Mr. Sh IK wood, (who will hereafter conduct the "Pa triot," alone,) our best wishes for his success. r" fyy We still have a few copies of Gov.

The latest information respect ing commercial and monetary affiurs at the North seems to be more cheering aad to present brighter prospect. In connection with the prevailing finan cial pressure, and breaking up ol men in business, there is one thing that strikes the mind with peculiar force, and that is, that eetry man in business, who own any dttt, has net failed. For twelve months, many of the leading journals of the Union have bcea predicting bankruptcy and ruin to the country. Considering the great Influence of ihaaa pu bUcatieats, and bow necessary confidence is to fair success in trade, we have extraordinary assurances of the va ried and vast resources of this country, in "that our business men have been able to stand up so firmly and successfully against such universal and continual croaking and evil forebodings, to die great detriment of the "solid credit and interest of the whole country. We arj satisfied that our people, generally, (and our Bank,) in North Carolina, are in as good con dition, and as able to pay their debts, as they ever were ; and we suggest to Northern and Western alarmists to turn their influence for a while now in favor ot their country's resources and credit, and see whether they cannot repair, in some degree, the injuries which their former course has so ma terially assisted to produce. Let them restore the confidence that they have, been instrumental in destroying, and " Hasj Tiacas." grira-vtsaged monster will soon disappear 1 Among the most useful measures brought before the Legislature is a bill introduced by Mr. McKesson, of Burke,' providing for the punishment of those persons who furnish spirituous liquor to youths, skfter receiving a warning notice from their parents or guardians. The provisions of the bill, are, simply, that a pa rent or guardian shall notify A. B., retailer of liquor, not to furnish it to C, under age, son or ward, as the case may be. If, after this notice, the vendor should be guilty of furnishing the person mention ed with spirits of any description, he shall, on conviction, receive condign punishment. The bill will probably pass and become -a law, and it is to be hoped that it may be of some service in arresting the frightful amount of dissipation which prevails at the present day. SATH OF ALEXANDER W. BRANDON. l. axxxaMobK noax CSaXdoS, departed this ife at the Rowan House, In this place, on Wednes day, the 27th of December, aged about CO years. His disease was pneumonia. Which baffled the skill of our mo eminent physicians. Col. Brandon was the only son -of Capv John Brandon, who fought side by side with Davie and the Lockes in the Revolution, and ucas wounded and his clothes cut to pieces in leading on the Whigs to victory at the hard fought battle of Rem sour's Mills. Col. Brandon served his country in the last wai with Great Britain and also in the war with the Creek Indians. He represented this Count V sev eral years ago in the Legislature, and haa acted as chairman of the Board of superintendents of Com mon Schools, from the commencement of the sys tem to the day of his death.- Col. Brandon was grave and dignified in his de portment, a type of the old school gentleman, sim ple in his tastes and habits, kind in his disposi tion, brave as Julius Csssar, and like Caesar's wife his honesty was above even suspicion. He left no family. . Three thousand dollars of his estate, we learn, he willed to the use 'of Da vidson College. In sinking Col.

Mecklenburg DeclaratLm' of in- dependence Tha Hotels and private dwellinea were nearly ! niled last evening; and early thia morning, multitudes came pouring In ' from every road and avenue leading to the Town ; aad by 10 o' clock, A. M., the streets of Salisbury were close ly packed with ladies and gentlemen, boys and babies, and a powerful sprinkling of niggerdom. The owners of the colored population seemed to vie with each other in tha freedom given to their servants and hirelings, and the ooantenaneea of all seemed lighted up with Joyoaaaeaa. At ID o'clock, Rufua Barringer, Em , chief Marshal of the day, assisted by Joseph F. Cham bers. J.-W. Clements, CoL A. S. Brown, Col. J. M. Brown. N. N. Flemming. W. M. Barker, N. B, Patterson, J. W. Kerr, Dr. Hand James, and Major Jones, mounted, formed a Procession into line near the -Court House, and were escor ted to the Rail Road Depot by the Salisbury and Concord Brass Bands. A large Banner, tha device of which I interpreted to mean Aoxicctl Tcax, Comxhxi and Fgiairsssur waa borne aloft to the breete, and waa much admired by the M little ones," on account of the pictures of two ladies which were painted on it. One of these ladies had a sheaf of wheat in her band and the other a sprig. The one was a western lady tendering to her eastern friend a happy welcome to her home and heart, assuring, hsr that this ia a land .'vf eee-srnd wlentv. and ' that the hitch string" almv$ kanaton tkt out- tufrffthedoar. - - . The company, oa arriving at the station house, were properly arranged on either aide of the Road; and, at II o'clock, the booming of can non and the masio.of the band, together with the shrill whistle of the Locomotive, gave un mistakable signs that the Iron Horse, with a long train of oars, freighted with hundreds of citixens of the neighboring counties, had arriv ed. The cars were beautifully decorated with a great variety of banners ; and as they passed, a simultaneous shout -arose from one extent of the line to the other, which was appropriately acknowledged by the passengers, who had just arrived. 1 wo other trains, which were due at half past eleven, did not arrive in time ; bnt the chief Marshal of the day announced that the exercises on the ground would now commence with an address from Judge Ellis, welcoming their friends and neighbors to tha hospitalities of the town. .Judge Ellis, on being introduced to the com pany, delivered an excellent address, which was marked throughout by a spirit of liberality in reference to works of internal Improvement in the State, which challenged general admiration. While he waa speaking, the two other trains arrived, packed almost to suffocation with ladies and gentlemen. Some apprehension had been felt for the safety of the trains ; and tha slight interruption oausod to the speaker by taeir ar rival oat of time waa wholly lost sight of by the audience, in view of the happy tum which the Judge gave bis address in congratulating the company on the asfety of the passengers, who were now added to the company. During the delivery of the address of Jadge Ellis, he was frequently interrupted by shouts of applause. Judge LUis having concluded, calls were made in every direction for Gov. Morehead, President of the Road, who was in a short time presented by Mr. Barringer, and proceeded ia an off-band manner to entertain the audience with a running sketch of the incipient steps by which the Road waa carried on and the proud position which it now oocopiee. His allosion to the three locomotives and their immense trains of cars, then on the track before him, was eloquent indeed ; and when ha referred to the vote of the Speaker of the Senate, by whieh thia Road waa called into existence, three cheers were immediately given Jjur iba Haa. Calvin Graves, which were answered by tha whistles of the locomotives, in deafening strains. Gov. M. statsd that 118 milea of tha road were now in running order, and the balance all graded, and that one million of dollars waa, yet needed for its completion : and that jadzine, from a sojourn of some weeks in tha city of Oaks, of the liberality ot the present Legislators, ha bad no doubt but that they would make the neces sary appropriation ; and if they did, that in one year more, there would De a great jubilee in toe town of Greensboro', celebratory of the final completion of this gigantic public work ! Here cheers THREE TIMES THREE, for the Leg islature of North Carolina, were proposed by the Hon. Nathaniel Boyden. Tha multitude canght the glowing spirit which prompted tht mover, and in a moment, all hata were off, and a universal shoot burst from tha miltitude who were present, and then tha steam pipes, as if inspired wi:b all the instincts of physical life, caught the fervor and repeated the cheers. Silenoe being restored. Gov. M. remarked that the ateam whistles had better lungs than he, and he had do doubt but that the people had rather hear them, aa they assured us, in a practical manner, that the North Carolina Rail Road was no fanoy sketch ! The names of tha three Locomotives are quite novel to me. They are as follows, via : " Ctc lops;" (ancient Giant,) -Tea ho," (I draw,') and " PadOLOs" (Golden River.) The " Cyclops" has 6 foot drivers, and is estimated to run from Charlotte to Salikbury (42 miles) in 60 minutes, drawing 20 cars. The company now dispersed in every direc tion, some going to the sumptuous barbecue which had been prepared by the liberality of the committee ot arrangements, and others to the Hotels and private' booses whioh had been opened (with true North Carolina liberal ity) for their recaption. The barbecue consis ted of 24 Hogs, Iff Sheep. 6 Beeves, and 10 O'Poeeam'. together with 1100 pounds of floor, making 1400 pounds of bread. At 4 o'clock, Professor Elliott was- in readi ness to take his Serial flight among the clouda in his fine silken palace, ' Isabella." Before taking bis stand in the car, a lady, (Mrs. Weeks. wife of one of the Engineers on the Road. ) made a short ascension, the. Professor holding on to the rope. She displayed great presence of mind, aad proved, quite conclusively, that if he hnabaad could nde upon the daahiog locomo tive, at tha rate of 60 miles an hour, thAt she aspired to flights far more elevated and aovsl. A boy next went up ; after which, the Proiee aor bade adieu for a time to the things of earth. and took his flight to parts unknown.

Tfceta are but two national celebrations which are uniformly observed in thia country, via , tha 4th July and 22d February. Christmas, New Year's, and Thanksgiving, are kept with many modifications, and in different way. Oar New England cousins, who like to bare their own way in everything, bat are not willinc that oth er folks should have their, devote Thanksgiv ing day to feasting and drinking, while, at the South, iu real purpose la better understood, and the observance is more rational. Thanksgiving at the North ia celebrated like Christmas at the Sooth; bat in New England, the day of the nativity is held of little account. And, at the North, while New Year is devoted to social vi siting, at the Soath it U dedicated almost ex clusively to avocationa of business. Tha con clusion of the matter is, that oar ever busy and driving population devote one or two daya of the yearly calendar to publio and private festi vity. The publio celebration are peculiar to ourselves; our private and social ones are com mon to other nations, and borrowed from the institutions of the Church. Christmas ia a day of bounty, and ita bles sings overflow upon the poor. It was a bright day overhead here, but mnddy and draggling under foot, and amidst tha intense Buffering of the Northern poor at thi season, while allwa dark and cheerleaa below, the only ray of hap piness that beamed opon many of them waa from above.

' Soma of the clergy had Christmas trees erected in their booses, and on every bough hung some carious toy or gift for the children of the Sunday SchooL At the two Industrial Schools for poor children at the Five Point, the spectacle wa highly-grati fying. Hundreds of girl aud boys were as sembled together, rescued from dens.of wretch edness and poverty, and from the paths of vice, and were well clothed, and their counte nances brightened by christian culture and hu man care. Their preceptors and benefactors seamed proud with the noble fruits ef their phi lanthropy, and, 1 doubt not, felt happier than kings and queens. Here the evergreens were wreathed around, expressive of a permanent joy in a christian work. The mottoes were such as these in ground ivied letters "As, therefore, we bay opportunity, let us do good unto all msn." "The Poor have the Gospel preached unto them." "In tha morning aow toy seed, and in tha evening withhold not thy band." The weather haa been milder during holiday week, but excessively muddy and rainy. Shop keepers hare done but little, like people ef great expectations. And the ladies hate been housed, and prevented from making the usual purcha ses at thia season. Tha weather still keepa cloudy and gloomy. New Yorker would pay any forfeit for a bright, clear New Years day. It is snowing, now, and perhaps tbia ia clearing np time, and a promise of better things. xtusiness men say there is a glimpse of better time. There is little specie going forward, and all good reliable stocks are on the rise. Erie Railroad bonds, (a leading kind of investment,) sold a day or two since for 97. They had been down a few days ago td 67. The Erie stock ia quoted at 38. .But aa long aa remittances come in sumiy, ana traae is at a stand still during the winter months, there can be no vary decided improvement. ew X orksrs are th most buoy ant people on earth, and confidence is soon re stored here, when tha circumstances wajj-antit. In a former letter, I may have expressed a too favorable ooinion in the chloroform (Bealal ease at Philadelphia. Tha pardon has not been teaaed, and perhaps will not be. A lady liv ing in thia city, and who visited Dr. Beale pro fessionally in Philadelphia, ia ready to testify that on proposing to administer chloroform to her, the doctor proceeded first to lock tha door. She observing; it. rea nested that it mizhtbe un locked, when she mad her escape. Other cases of tht kmd militate against Dr. Reals, and throw some doabt over hi entire innooenc in all oases. Mr. Benton repeated hia leoture in Boston, and on the next morning, tha Society before whioh ha appeared, presented him with a chck of $200, but he declined accepting it, and en dorsed it over to them. Mr. Benton ia said to have realised a large sum from tha aala of hia work on the political experience of hia times It is hastily and somewhat oarelaasly written, bat tha facts are valuable. Wa mast not forget to notice th lawyers oc casionally. A trial cam on in on of the courts of justice in this city recently, concerning dam ages alleged to have been done to a mare, which the lawyers called a hors. A witness was called to th stand.

A motion to reconsider the vote by which the Senate bad struok out the word "minor" (thus making all the children of a soldier beneficiaries) failed by a decided vote, in reply to a sugges tion of Mr. Stdaxt, that th billaa it stood would dispose of three hundred millions of acres of the public lands, Mr. Evaxs presented statistical facts to show that many person included in the bill had already besn provided for, in whole or in part, and that therefore the amount of land to be distriba ted under this act could not be one-third of what had been suggested. Tha bill .was supported a the best sort of hometead which could be passed. Pending a motion to restrict the number of acre to be located in con tiguous traota, the Seuate adjourned.
