But before ,we aliow tbil plausible objection to jdeter lis friom the measjire, let is look a it io the relations which tb measu e bears to the public inter ests at tbii time. While it has been for years one of gr(eat importance to North Oarolina, ' and should hare been undertaken ere this; -'it will be fotftd 0:1 examination to bear deep" ly not on y upon State interest, but also upon tbe interests of the Confederate States, In the fir it place then, the Teep River is - the only 1 cce&sible region upon the Atlaotio slope whi )h furniabes coal en i table for pro . polling st ( boats and especially war steam ' AcrS., Coals occur at other locations, it is true, but for purposes of commerce, -wlwre I sped and power are essential to the prejer I vatien of llife and property, coals must pos sess certain characteristics in a marked Ide- greeJ Ticse cbaraoteriatica are, the ability ; "i - - . i . i - to ignite rickly,'to sustain a rapid and per feot combustion for a long time comparative ly,or,in ether word?, to generate steam with er eat' rapid iiv.' lit is in these respects that the Coal, of Deep ; River becomes so-impor- tant to the navy; of the .Confederate -States. Many; suppose that coil is coal anyhow, but j this view is not icxaotly true. Coals of dif ferent regions differ materially. ' The sajne weight ofj coal from one place will not make as moch steam ina given time as another; , Hisnce tcju importance of selecting those coals for jBteataers which pesaegj the greatest steam generating power, and ii is fortunate tbat the beep Bier Coal ranks among jthe best in. this country in this; respect It is Boarcely pecessary to say, in this connection that the preservafion of life and 'millions of dollars fj eqaentlyj depends on 'the speed oi atea.mei , -All steamera may, in consequence of a wan i of s.ufilcient steam, bo lost in a storm w lioh ibey might have ; escaped had thiir speed been quiokened so as to reach, a port before they; were overtaken ; even the increase in! progress of one .mile per hoar would h 1V6 been amply .snfiicient to have vBa7ed. it rom being lost in a storm. ; A ves sel or sti amer which is supplied with an in diffejrent coalj ;in purfiuiog . an enemy, falls asjera ; r, if ! pursued, beeomee a prize ; to j the enen y in consequence solely of a want of sUan.H It is not simply, then, one which ; reoognii is the j existence of coal upon Diep I River that we briog forward the measure' at ! this 'time j ii is upon the excellenoe of this j coal as steam producing agent that we base tb neof ssity of the measure proposed." If whtt we wsert if true, it follows that not- i wihil!aning he heavy pressure of debt, it becomes reaUyW matter of economy to far-. man j petier ana more ample meaas to get this coaljto our sea-board than those which now exist.

By the nPBflit.iM of a Government siruezHnz with difficulties, the firs' and most important of all manufactures will be placed on a firm footing, and a business be-established whioh will necessarilf fill the valley . ' "' v ''j-.'-i. I'oi ieep mver wiwanauairwa uiuauuauiB, and' thereby become One of the wealthiest parts of North Carolina. But in order to -five even a oountenaace- to ,tovernment in this undertaking, the. State; it seems to us, cannot do less than build a road from Page's jto Haywood as BpeedHy as f possible; to a point hich will be connected with the coal .beds by water. From Page rs to .Haywood it is about 20 miles, and from Haywood to Egypt it is 15 by road. Now, if the dis tance was one hundred miles, the advantages of a railroad would justify ihe measure. Bat we see that it ia really "but a Small af fair, and yet it has been hanging by the gills for several years, having been ti e topic of much conversation and a good deal of inef ficient legislation. We believe if such an opporitinity for the jndiciouslexpenditure of money existea in iioena, aroaa wuuiu uc at once built; and we might pay, though we admit with some exaggeration, that in the present state of communication, it vn about as easy to get to Liberia as it is tpjget to Egypt. ' However this may! be, iU is plain enough that if this region is lo become ne cessarily one of business, onef resort, there must be furnished railway facilities for get ting therefrom the Capital of the State. But it seems to us to be a'peaeore which the State must cheerfully execute as speed ily as possible, for ' the reason that a vast amount of manufactured material must be brought out for the Confederate Government, and it certainly is in duty bound'; after hav ing, as it were, provided the means for estab lishing permanent works there to do so much as a State to insure both a speedy and cheap transportation to points where the manufac tured materials are wanted, j i The State is a paity interested in the measure, for by this ehort link of a road, her own investments in roads in operation will bo increased in value. - In conclusion, we may with much truth, advocate this measure as a peace as well as a war measure. If it is a war necessity, it is not difficult to see that it also tends to peace. In this view, no State possesses so many peace elements as North Carolina, j . But they must he brought out. What is the use of coal and aron, if they must be hauled, toinarketon wagons, or take long, circuitous routes? The cost ot hauling, together with' the time con sumed, eats up all the profits or neutralizes all the advantages which might be derived from their possession. They nay as well be locked up in the bowels of tbe earth, as to encounter the expense and delay of ordinary transits to market. - We say it is a peace measure, because it will better prepare the government for carrying out !the war. The region of Deep river, though not easily ac cessible, now may be made so ; and so far as the Atlantic States are concerned, it is cen. tral it 13 strictly Metropolitan, and in the - . ,,. , - it ' I osuoiiahnient ot foundries there, it accom- mooates, so tar as position is-concerned, all this part of the Confederacy. I NO FRANCHISE FOR TIIE YANKEES IN TIIE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. The annexed article was j desks of fthe members of the found on the Convention on Monday.," We not only fully endorse the views of the writer, but we go a step farther than he"does. We believe that the true pol icy of the Southern Confederacy is, to have M naturalization lavage That as soon as this war is ended and our indepenklenoe acknowl edged, there will be a flood of! Yankee emi gration to; the South, cannot admit of a doubt. Broken flown and beggared io their native land by their bwn iniqaities and with no earthly hope of retrieviog their fortunes while they remain there? they; will have no alternative but that ot emigration, and no one can doubt that the Sooth will be the re gion sought by them. When they reach here we know enough of the Yankee character to sssured that, if permitted to dooj they Will begin to infuse their own nuschieyoua faotioninto;Uieju people;and to inoorporate their da-nnableolitioat here sies into the administration of the Govern- ? inent.

JVe would -bveintualization Iwarha ; ever. The foreign element bad ! no email ibare Tn bringing about tbesfalej of affairs; Which caused the destrnctionr of the late Union. The Nor tk v. as the country of free abouri and1 those who bad been reared in countries of free labocr! naturally! soughtit when they left tbeir native land. The North, too, was then rich and prosperous, and held out inducements to emigration. Arrived' in tbe free States, these emigrants were soon taught by the Yankees to hold slavery as even more detestable than their, imaginations bad pre viously conceived, and after being rushed through the process of a so-called naturali zation, were for the most part tbe instruments in the hands of the Yankee Abolition deina gogues for making war on the institutions of the South. Wre think jthese facts will be conceded by all reflecting men at the South. But things are now radically changed. The Union has been dissolved, and the North has become- impoverished while the pouth will become every day more and more prosperous The inducements now are to migration from the North, instead of emigration to it, and it is therefore most rational to conclude that the great tide of European emigration to America will soon begin to flow into the Southern part of it. These people know nothing of the spirit and genius of our in stitutions, and are incapable of learning any thing of them, and if they come among us, they must be content with the protection of onr laws, without having any agenoy in their enactment. Their .: children born in this country, will grow up under the influences of our Government and institutions, and at the legal period, will be invested with all the rights and immunities of citizenship, and will be capable of appreciating them at their proper value, and of exercising them in a proper manner. 1 These are our views, and if they stamp us as a "Know Nothing,' why, then, let it so be Tbe following is the article to whioh we have referred : Shall the rutble, bloody, and unchristian ene mio9 of our country, who are bow striving with every energy to conquer and eubdue us using every effort to plunder and destroy us, evon to lha emancipating and urnitngof our negroes, and ci eating a rUe wur ! whose whole history has shown tuem to be fanatic, unscrupulous, aggress ive, and ircacheruus-fhiill such eneiuie, shall such a people be allowed, after the war is over, to come among us (as they certainly will do by ih leus ot thouaand) aud Tij -y all thii privileges and advantages of a, people they wooM o barbarous ly destroy ? In short, shall tbf Yankee be al lowed the same electoral Iranchises with our own people, and take an equal part ia our own Gov ernment will, oursehes? If this question is decided in the affirmative,'' by the omission of the Comehtum to pas an- or dinatice restricting the f ranchise, we may at onc prepare ourselves for a long tareweil to our in stitutions, to our las, " to our liberty, and. our independence I In vain w ill hve been shad the blood of our :lUnt soldiers, in Vfcin the tears of our patriotic mothers, sisters, and wives, in vain the! agonies of bereaved f.a-1 rent, in vain will have been our treasure so freely give i, in vain will havebeun fought and won thi, our second war of Independency. We hav e calkd the Nortb blind and foo'ish to wastathfir bltKd and -treasure ia thii unholy war; but far blinder and more foolish would wu be Ij give up voluntarily, ibis greatest gainot the war, this separation from trial fanatic and aggressive, and treacherous pyaple j for in corning 'here, the Yankeej do not change, "cotlum, noo hniiumt mutant qui trans mare eurrunt ;" they have nt changed since the days when, two hundred, years ago, they drove the Cavaliers from England, the Quakers from Massachusetts, and the Dutch from H ew Amsterdam. They are the same aggressive, fanatic, canting, egotistical people now as then. Aggresive upon every' neighbour, fanatic to a de gree that olten made them yield their very lives to their uoclrines; such canting hypocrites, as to decive, ofttimes, each other ; and egotistical, thinking themselves 'a leello the smartest people that ever did , live" knowing more of law aud the Constitution than the Supreme Court, more of international law and usage than all the States men of Europo, and more ot God's laws than our blessed Saviour and his Apo ties. They have prerumed to compel us to submit by force. They will, if allowed to mingle witn equal rights among u, as surely; undermine pur institutions by their art, as time rolls on. To allow them to have a vote in our elections, to hold office under our government, and: have all our rights of citizenship, would be to admit our d rectand most unrelenting enemy within our wailS, to.carry on in perfect security his; destruc tive schemes against our peace and security ; it would be the old story of the . admission of the woouen uorsa concealing tne curmiug: ureeas within the .walls of Troy, eaustng her ; betrayal wooden hore concealing the cunning- Greeks and downtall. In tbe name of common sense. then, in the. name and for tbe sake of our coun try and posterity, whose treasure we have so free-, ly used, let us do. all we can to prevent, as far as civilized usages will admit, tbe Yankees and all alien enemies from ever possessing the power to interfere with pur government, and the ffrst sten is never to grant them the privilege of the ballot box. ' . ; 'ew, betide the demagogue, will call it undue harshness, if we forbid to suca savage and bitter enemies the rights and " privileges we may have won, at tomucft tost, from their griping avarice and wicked destructiveness. j '. Let us not imitate ihe conduc; of weak-kneed politiciaui of Virginia, and wait the action of Congress, but act ourselves in this mattery so im portant to our future security ; and while! not in terfering witn the present political privilges of our loyal ana true nearted citizens, pasa'.uch an ordinance for our Constitution as shall forever prevent danger from ibis most prolific source of danger Yanlut interference vnth our institutions. . .

But this would not do1; for the wenerable delegate from Vake again threw out his coil, and Was about to make the constriction, or bone-exushing jerk, when the delegate irom Hertford asked him to yield; the floor for an explanation.

In the different representative assemblies of which Mr. Tyler was successively a mem ber.be was brought into contact with the bighrstintellects of the age. In the Legulature of Virginia, he was a mem ber of the He use of Delegates with Lit tleton Waller Tazwell, Benjamin Watkina Leigh, Charles Fenton Mercer, Robert Stanard. Philip Doddridge, General Blackburn, and many the rjnited States, he was cotemprary with Hen- ry Clav, William Lowndes, John Randolph.

Bing generally the youngest member of the body to wbich be belonged, land emulous ot distinction, he was stimulated to the highest exertion of his powers, by the living models of excellence with wbich be was surrounded, and bis mind was thus kept in a perpetual , progress of development and expansion.

But this is neither the time nor the place to enter upon a discussion of the merit: of Mr. Tyler's ad ministration of tbe Federal Government, when by a sudden and unexpected dispensation of: irroviaeoce, ne was placed at tne boad ot it. mo one would more earnestly have deprecated the revival of forgotten controversies than himself. Among the qualties which most eminently and bonoi ably distinguished him was an habitual kindness of disposition, and a generous appreciation of others, even ot those who were bis political en emies and opponents. It was about two years ago, in this city,; on a public and memorable occa sion, he did himself the highest honor by a warm epnianeous and manly tribute to the character of a great raarr and deceased patriot, who had stood towards him in the attitude of a powerful and declared opponent. , In reviewing the evctful life of Mr. Tyler we are led almost irresistibly, to apply to him a des criptive epithet by wnicn the Komans were aeons-; tamed to express a quality that ever inspired their confidence and admiration. By that epithet iix i,uey uiu uot mean to uesignaie a person wno was merely fortunate, but one who, by a h ippy combination of well-tempered attributes, knew, in a measure, how to command or propitiate fortune. This sentiment was embodied by them in a max im, tersely expressed by their great sat.r'ist niiun numen habes, si sit prudentia. Thus it was with Mr. Tyler. . Hy rare union of prudence, irood sense and good temper, set off by tbor natural gifts ot oratory and a persuasive address, he won the hearts of the people and commanded the favors of fortune ; and success waited upon him in every step of bis public career. ; Delegate in the Legislature of his State, repre sentative :.in " Congress, Governor,' Serator, Vice President, President he "sounded all tbe depths and shoals of honor and in every trust he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of bis constituents.!
