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. Gra
ham's Speech, on the Convention question, in
newspaper form, for sale. In a week or two.
we shall print both it, and the arguments of
Messrs. Gilmer and Ilaoghton, in pamphlet
form. Applications for copies may be left at
the office.
Peg- We copy into another part of our paper
of to-day. for the public edification, Mr. Rat n ex's
aecond letter in reply to' the late diatribe of
the Hon. Hkkby A. Wisx npoa the new party
that haa sprung np in our midst. Like every
thing else that emanates from his pen, it is mas-,
terly and eloquent.
An unfortunate error occurred in our
last, by which the death Of that excellent veter

an improper heading.

Among other things, the " Beaajn" says
"Mc. Wise pitched into the KnAw. Nothing, and
nere ue was periecuy "at home." His forte is in
sarcasm and denunciation: He would not quarrel l.
scribing Catholics, but the secrecy of ttte order.
, . .. "-. i
He compared the hnow-Notbiiigs to Absoloin.
the son of the Psalmist of Israel, King David, and
here he exercised his sarcastic powers to their full
extent, but he tailed to advance a single tenable
argumcut against what is reported to be theirdoc-t-ine."
"His talk about oligarchies and Wall street jug
glers was very unfortunate for him. It is well
known that one of the priuoipal supporters of
Frsnklln Pierce was a Wall street broker, named
Belmont. Our readers have heard of this worthy
before ; how he gave a large sum of money to elect
Gen. Pierce, and received a foreign appointment
as a reward, although he Lad but a fevj weeks be
tore represented a foreign government In this coun
fry. And who is Mnxcy but a Wall street juggler
and spoilsman, and is not he the first lieutenant
of this administration, to "which the Staunton Con
vention has hitched Mr. Wiset '
Mr. W. utterly railed to advance an argument
that was at all tenable. The chief power of his
address was the dramatic effect from his line act
ing, and his sarcastic effusions, which went in an
opposite direction to bis arguments."
"We noticed that among the chief actors were
several Government officials, who, like the officials
in New York, intend to take the lead. Some one
proposed three cheers, which were feeble and faint
and the enthusiasm 'seemed to be at a low ebb."
Tha entire Whig jPrees ; Virginia art con

mous Louisa County Whig speech, one of the
ablest defences ever made of Whig men. Whig
policy, and Whig measures ; and a most with
ering assault upon iocofocos and the loco.'ocra
cy. In the canvass now going on, Mr. Wise
will find it very difficult to answer his former
arguments !
J-aT" In the House of Representatives, on Wed
nesday last, after Mr. Clingman had made a speech
n favor of tendering eur mediation to the powers
engaged in the European war, Mr. Bayly, the
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
said, in reply, that ' he could say with entire con
fidence, from a feeling of humanity, there was no
member of the House, or any person oonnected
with this Government, who would -not be glad to
see the struggle now going -on in Europe termina
ted. But it was a very delicate matter, with nations
as well as with individuals, when they were at
war with each other, to offer mediation. Ue had
reason to believe and he could state to the House
with entire confidencefrom his sources of informa
Hon, that from ' the proper qusrt'er ovtrtvrts tcere
mad on the part of this Government in resp ect to
this matter, and that upon the whole it was thought
advisable for this country not to interfere. Sneb
being the case, he should not be prepared to sus
tain the proposition to Render our mediatien to the
belligerents."
Tax Pkbsscek. 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. Brandon's- grave at Thyetira,'the
skull of his venerated fathei was exhumed. It

RAIL ROAD CELEBRATION AT RALlSllU

LOON ASCENSION ; EVENING ENTER
TA1NMEST. 4.1.
s . Saliisoet, Jaal 4th. leoo.
Mr. EotTot: vTbis has been, perhaps, the
brightest day that aver dawned on Western Car
olina, with the exception only of the stirring
tim of th. .. 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

New Yotx, January 1, 1855.
. 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. We do not observe a festival that
obildren do net take an active part in it, Christ
mas ia almost wholly theirs, and makes up the
brightest era in childhood Jifa, tha jnemory: of

Un Christmas day, the industrial schools for
poor children presented a cheerfol scene. The
little onea were aa happy a bird and sduirrela.
Outcasts met with friends, and starvation wa
comforted with a meal. ' 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

the lawyers called a hors. A witness was

In the Senate, th Message of the Phxiipskt
on the subject of intsrnal improvement, giving
his reason at length for th veto of the last ses
sion, wa read and ordered to be printed. Mr.
Bbodbiad's bill to extend the provisions of tha
bounty land system was further diaouaeed. 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.
In the House or RiraxsiNTATivis the substi

frauds arising under the law as it now stands.

Wm. H. LirriTT, Esq., Dear 8ir: I have no
hesitation in saying that your Specific is one of the
best Medicines extant for Dysentery, Diarrhea a, etc.
You possibly may recollect my case ; if it has es
caped your memory, I will give you briefly the
facts. I had tried everything that I had seen used,
but with little success. And after using enough to
start twenty-five Homeopathic M. D., I began to
despair, when you kindly ottered me your in value'
Ue Medicine, which cored me effectually.
Yours truly, 3. J. CARROLL.

sure I acknowledge' the Wonderful effects of your
Medicine for curing Diarrhcsaor Bowel Complaint,
as 1 am satisfied it was the means, under Cod, of
saving the life, 'first of my child, and then of my
brother. As my brother was given .up by two of
the most- eminent physicians in this place, Urs.
Richardson and Wregg ; and when I' consulted the
latter, as to the propriety of trying it on him so
low, be said I might, to satisfy myself that I had
left nothing untried, but be did not think that med
icine would be of any use to aim. Uut, thank trod,
he was mistaken, as we saw the salutary enects in
34 hours, and in ten days he was able to be out of
