Saturday, September 1, 1849.
The Internal Improvement Association,
Will meet this evening (Saturday) at candle
JighL Several addresses may be expected, and
among the number, one from ITehst W. Mil
ler, Esq.,
General McRae's Letter.
We would call particular attention to the letter
of Gen. McRak, President of the Wilmington
Road, to Gov. Mokeheid, published in our to
day's issue, upon the subject of the North Caroli
na Rail Road. It presents much the most forci
ble view of the matter that we have yet seen, and
carries irresistible conviction on its face.
The friends of the project are greatly indebted
to Gen. McRae for the lively interest he has ta
ken in its success, and, if we are not much mis
taken, will have reason to be much more so, in
view of the good that this letter must accomplish.
Washington National Monument.
The Association at Washington City who have
in charge the construction of this great national
work, have expressed . the vwish to procure from
each of the States of the' Union "a block of Gran
ite or Marble, with appropriate inscriptions, to be
placed in conspicuous positions in the inside stair
way of the Obelisk.
Gov. Maxly, entertaining the opinion that he
will be fulfilling the public will by complying with
this request, has had a correspondence with the
agent, and is now desirous of procuring a block of
White Marble, about 4 feet long, 2 feet high and
2 feet in depth. It is his design to have it dressed
and prepared throughout, according to the specifi
cation in his possession, by oar own Litho
graphers, and have engraven on it the name of the
State, embellished with the State's Coat of Arms.
A block of granite from the State's Quarry in
this vicinity would, in many respects, be a fit em
blem and representative of the Old Noith State"
but, on inquiry, the engraving cannot be executed
with sufficient taste and skill on stone.
The Governor will be thankful to receive from
one of our Western Quarries a suitable block, and
will pay whatever may be right on its delivery in
Raleigh.
This proceeding is not intended to interfere at
all with the action already taken on this subject
by patriotic Associations in different parts of the
State, but the Governor feels himself called upon,
officially, to make this contribution to ;the Monu
ment of the " Father of his Country," in the name
and on behalf of all the people of the Slate.
Newspapers friendly to this object will please
copy this notice.
"Help me Cassias."
The recent shameful course of the " Union,"
in its unscrupulous and filthy abuse of the Ad
ministration, has already, as we have hitherto said,
disgusted the more respectable portion of the De
mocratic party. The last " Standard," however,
steps in to the rescue of its noble ally. The de
fence thus volunteered, reminds us of a Hindoo
story we have seen some where : " An Elephant
and mouse were walking across a boar. The El
ephant quickly mired, while the mouse tripped
gaily along. But how am I to get out, said the
Elephant. Take hold of my tail, replied the
mouse!"
&J- We are requested to state that E. N. Peter
son, Esq., who has been duly commissioned by
the Board of Managers of the Washington Na
tional Monument Society as Agent for the 6th
Congressional District of this State, will visit at
an early day every County in the District, for the
purpose of soliciting subscriptions for this noble
structure.- Mr. Peterson expects to be in Ral
eigh in a few days.
The Abduction Case.
The brig Adams has arrived at New Orleans
from Havana, with despatches for the Govern
ment from the American consul. The despatches
are said to contain letters from Rey to Gen. Camp-
beU, acknowledging that he has been abducted, and
claiming the protection of the United States.
The captain of the port of Havana is stated by the
master of the Adams to have said, that if the
American Government wanted Rey, it must take
him. The announcement of this intelligence at
New Orleans created the greatest excitement-
persons not reflecting that the Spanish captain of
the port is a mere underling of the government,
and in all probability spoke without the color of
authority.
i New Post Offices.
A Post Office has been established at Big Lau
rel, Yancy. County, in this State, of which John
Roberts is Postmaster. . - rS. '--
One has also been created at White, Rock,
Yancy County, of which Kneeiy Weede is ' Post
master. - -
South Carolina Medical College.
We are indebted to a friend for a " Catalogue
of the Trustees, Faculty and Students of the Med
ical College of Sooth Caroima," at Charleston.
The Hon. M. King is President of the Board of
Trustees, and the Faculty consists of eight emi
nent Physicians. The number of Students is 141,
of whom six are from this State. ;The next ses
sion commences on the first Monday in Novem
ber, and rlosm on the fim Saturday in March.
JTUn OPPOSITION PARTY.
A jmcire contumacious set of political managers
were never ejected from power, flian those that
were displaced by the election of Gen. Tatlo
Instead of bowlpg with' submission to - the will of
the People, which was so Jully and triumphantly
expressed in the due course of .their legitimate
rights, they sayubmission. is no part of our
creed'; we have too long enjoyed the blanaish
ments of station, to yield passively to defeat; we
have a community of interest that binds us; we
have a common sympathy that stimulates us ;
we have an active spirit of revenge that stirs with
in us ; and the last effort of desperation shall be
employed to regain the power that is now lost to
us. In conformity to these controlling principles,
we find them every where busy, and active, from
the proudest leader to the humblest tide-waiter.
We ask the People to dwell upon these things
to look seriously at the organized effort making to
contravene theit will, and "by hook or bjr crook,"
to again possess that power, which they have been
emphatically told they were unfit to manage. Is
there a single leader of the Locofoco party, that
intends supporting the Administration created by
the PEOPLE t No, not one. On the contrary,
they are implacable in their opposition, and have
taken their stand against the sovcaxiozr power
of the country I Such an inordinate desire to
grasp the reins, points significantly to danger.
Let the People beware of those, whose ambition
can brook, no delay.
Yes, after all after a majority of upwards of
one hundred thousand after years of hard, bitter
contest after the settlement of the vexed ques
tion by the voice of the sovereign People after
all this, it seems that the Nation is not to have re
pose. The plan of another campaign is announ
ced the routed battalions of power are again mar
shalled in battle array and the political warfare
is to be renewed. Gen. Taylor's administra
tion is met at the threshold, at the outset, with a
predetermined, systematic, fierce opposition, and
that opposition is to be continued and kept up un
ceasingly for four years to come at least. We are
to have no breathing time no opportunity for de
velopmentsno waiting for measures j war is pro
claimed in advance, and war is to be carried on
with all the political means which can be used !
Fortunately, happily, for the country, this new
contest is one commenced exclusively by xhe poli
ticians. We do not believe, after what has just
passed, that the people can be enlisted in so un
just and ungenerous an assault upon the man of
their choice, and the principles of reform that he
is about to strive to introduce.
But let the fact be known every where, that the
Nation is again to be convulsed by disappointed
politicians, and that, too, for their own factious,
selfish purposes. Let them be warned to beware
of suffering themselves to be deluded and deceived
by those who are now to work hard for pay and
plunder!
The Queen's Visit to Ireland.
The Q.ueen of England is on a visit to Ireland,
and great preparations are being made to receive
and entertain her to pay, her court and homage.
She will see nothing of the country, or its condi
tion, and none of the mass of the Irish people, her
subjects, and return to England about as wise as
to the real condition of that part of her kingdom,
as when she left London. Would that the pa
geant which surrounds her could be dispersed, and
thar rncog. she could traverse ill-fated and op
pressed Ireland, and see and hear and feel, their
pressing wants, by mingling with the Irish peo
ple! She could in that way learn much, might
have her sympathies excited by the heart-rending
scenes she would, witness, and returning home,
do much br their relief! But that she cannot do,
and her visit willtesult in elevating still higher
some already high enough, but in no good what
ever to her subjects.
General Taylor and an honest Locofoco.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia News
states that the journey of the President from Bed
ford Springs to Somerset was marked by contin
ued demonstrations of public admiration. He
says, " At every town, village, cross road, hamlet
and tavern, they have turned out en masse men,
women and children and greeted him as no man
ever before was greeted, at least in this part of the
country."
The party stopped to dine at a small roadside
tavern in the mountains, and, after dinner, it ap
pears General Taylor entered into conversation
with a redhot Locofoco, which is thus reported :
Loco. Walking up to the President. Gine
ral how d' ye do ? I'm glad to see ye, but I didn't
vote for ye, 'cause I'm a DimocraL
Gen. Taylor I'm just as glad to see you, for
all that; I came here to see Whigs, Democrats
and Natives, and all, and am'glad to see alL
Loeo. You said you should be the President
of the people, and not of a party, and that you
wouldn't be proscriptive : but you've turned out
the Dimocrats, and nobody else!
(Jen. Taylor. Who else could 1 turn out
Nearly all the omce-holders were of your party,
and, I, of course, desire equalization. If I should
let your friends have all the places, and the Whigs
none, it would be proscribing the Whigs !
Loco. .You're right, Gineral ; I never thought
of that; I brieve the Dimocrats did have all the
places -that's a fact ! They first got them from
Gineral Jackson.
Gen. Taylor. Yes, ray good friend, they've
had possession of them for nearly twenty years ;
and they ought to be satisfied with their hall here
after. - ,- .
This argument satisfied the Loco, and he own
ed up. The whole affair ended in a general laugh,
and shaking the General by the hand, the Loco
foco exclaimed, You're right, Gineral," and
repeated it until the carriage rolled away.

The Revolutions in Europe have made even
the ladies more patriotic. Walking up Chestnut
street, on Saturday, we noticed hundreds of them
inclined to bare arms. So says the Philadelphia
Times.
09 A Tournament and Fancy Ball are to be
given at the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, on
the 4th and 6th September. " Lad yes faire" and

is predicted.
Father Mathew. The Washington News
learn, that Father Mathew will probably visit that
City about the commencement of the session of
Congress.
G$- The Principal of an Academy, in an Ad
vertisement, mentioned his Female Assistant and
the " reputation for teaching which she bears :"
but the printer careless fellow left out the

beurs!" A vert apt Simile. Somebody who does not
think always as the books teach or as the world
believes, says of an open countenance :
" It is not always a mark of frankness to pos
sess an open countenance. An alligator is a de
ceitful creature, and yet he presents an, open coun
tenance when in the very act of taking you in."
A Tall Name. George Washington Napole

That Seceet Expedition. A New York cor
respondent of the Washington Republic, alluding
to the Cuba scheme, says : From all that I can
leam and I have taken pains to inform myself
on the subject this armed expedition to Cuba
will not now take place."
ft- I never Utid a wager in my life ; and I will
inform you, sir, that I am not a blackleg."
" Then you are no better," was the reply.
CANADA AND CUBA.
What a pleasing alliteration ! What an imposing
war-cry would these words have made in the last
campaign Cass, Canada and Cuba. The words seem
almost made for each other. But the public stomach
was gorged with the spoils of Mexico, and the body
politio was repouingliie au anaconda, or an alderman
after a full meal. We may pause to add that it was
a great mistake in the late administration, to Teed the
Boa Constrictor of Annexation upon such garbage aa
Mexico. It was like forcing a man to eat red her
rings when there were oysters oo one side of him
and turtle on tke other. It is true, we had no good
reason forgoing to war with either Englandxr Spain,
but that was a matter of the very slightest conse
quence. Reasons, where they do not exist, can be
easily pretended, as was shown by the magnanimous
rulers of France, when, In imitation of an older free
government, they mode war upon a weak sister Re
public. The great American-nation, with Canada at one
extreme and Cuba at the other, occupies the position
with reTerence be it spoken, of the ass between two
bundles of hay. While it preserves a gravity of de
meanor which would do honor to a mule, it turns its
head from side to side with a solicitude as painful to
itself as, ruder ordinary circumstances, it would be
to the subjects of its anxiety. We any under ordin
ary circumstances, for, strange to tell, both the bun
dles of hay aforesaid appear anxious to be devoured.
Formerly, the adjoining provinces exhibited extreme
nervousness at the manifestation of our Republican
appetite for other people's land, and naturally trem
bled for their own fate when they saw the great
Democratic Mammoth swallowing an empire at a
gulp, and intimating that it felt better after the op
eration. Their turn might come next, and so each
one kept its pen in one hand, writing its last will and
testament, and its sword in the other, to defend itself
to the last extremity. But the scene Las changed.
"Circumstances''' have exerted their magic ioHueoce
upon Canada and Cuba, ss well as upon Cass. They
seem to have fallen in love with annexation, like the
trout with being skinned. As if fascinated by the
eye of their dreadful foe, they are hastening to his
jaws, as to a city of Tefuge. Canada, indeed, ex
hibits an indecorous haste upon the subject,- which
is calculated to nauseate the keenest appetite. Cuba
is more coy, and maintains greater gravity, knowing
well the fierce jealousy of her Spanish lord, and the
bloody retribution he will visit upon treachery.
Brother Jonathan rolls his eyes restlessly from one
to the other, not knowing which to choose ; but will
probably decide the matter so ss to satisfy his con
science and exhibit perfect impartiality, by taking
both.
It seems, Indeed, to be the " manifest destiny" of
the celebrated " Anglo-Saxons" of this country to
enlarge their tents aud swallow op all the surround
ing nations. Even if we were disposed to be con
tinent and abstemious, temptations spring out upon
ns from a hundred ambushes, and in a moment rend
our frail virtue to atoms. Just at the period when,
satiated with the rapine of Mexico, we were fortify
ing our minds with virtuous resolves, comes Canada,
with her rebel tories, seeking to be annexed, and,
close upon her heels, the most opportune abduction
of a Cuban from New Orleans by the vile' minions
of the Spanish crown an insult which, if anutoued,
may impose upon Brother Jonathan the painful ne
cessity of putting the Key of the Gulf of Mexico into
his own pocket. Rich. Republican. -
Mr. Ben-tow in Missouri. The bitterness of
feeling existing between the two factions of the
Locofoco party in Missouri may be conceived from
the following, which we find m the St. Louis Re
publican: . " ' "
It is stated that Judge Birch had ascertained at
Platte City, that Col. Benton had asserted in the
most positive manner, that he (Birch) had whip

making affidavit that he (Benton) is not a retidint

On the Income of the ITorth Carolina Railroad
' 'rramtngfonJV. Cugvd 23,1849.
To Gov. J.M. MoaxHEAO, vV,:i ;r' ; '
. .. Chairman qf the Bzecutvp ComimUet. 1,
Dxab Si ; Since my retam from i alishurf, I
have felt a deep interest in leesticeeaaof thejCen
tra) HaU Road, and am much pleased to Jearn by
the papers, that you are out in your strength in
the cause..
Gov. Swain's letters are well calculated to en
lighten the people on the subject of this .important
improvement, but I think he has under estimated
the additional value such a work is calculated to
confer upon the lands through which it would
ass. But on this subject, I am at a loss how to
imit my own estimation. If we look to Massa
chusetts, she has set a bright example in the way
of constructing Roadsor the benefit of her own
citizens, vnthout regard to the accommodation of
those tcio hare no interest in her prosperity. Our
mistake has been, the attempt to benefit those
who hae no interest in the State; we have been
carried away by the ignis fatuus of through travel.
I say, if ;we look to Massachusetts to see the value
given to her landed property, by the construction
of Rail Roads, and adopt it a3 a basis upon which
to construct our estimates, it will look so much
like " tall talk," that our people would think we
were humbugging.. It b therefore difficult to
say what limit should be adopted. The estimate
of the increased value of lands on some of the
Roads in Massachsetts exceeds $100 per acre,
and that too on lands inferior to those in Western
North Carolina. Now if we were to base an es
timate upon one half that sum, it would be looked
upon as wild and extravagant ; yet I am at a loss
to understand why like causes should not pro
duce like effects. If the North Carolina Road
should be constructed, I cannot see any cause
why Towns and Villages should not spring up
at every depot along its line? Our people are
industrious and prudent ; let but a door be opened
for them to dispose of the surplus produce of the
farm, the loom and the shop, and depend upon it,
they would soon be a thriving people, and the
homestead would be looked upon as being equally
valuable with any lands in any State of our Union.
I therefore do not hesitate in saying that the
State at large and her citizens would be gainers
by the construction of this Road, if it never paid
the first cent of dividend. But, sir, I am not pre
pared to admit that the stock of this Road would
not be paying stock. On the contrary, I think it
can be proved, from fair inferences, that it will
not only be paying stock, but would prove to be
a valuable investment of capital. We must not
judge of the stock from the failures that have here
tofore taken place m our otate. 1 he reason oi
these failures are too palpable to be mistaken, by
persons versed in the expenses of main'tainance of
Rail Roads. These Roads were constructed of
too frail and perishable materials ; this is an error
which can, and certainly will be avoided. No
one acquainted with the practical effects on Rail
Roads can be found to recommend the light strap
iron, such as heretofore used in the construction
of our Roads. We must not therefore draw con
clusions from the enormous expenses attending
the working of these Roads.
To arrive, at anything like an estimate of the
value of stock in the North Carolina Road, it is
necessary either to know how much produce and
merchandize would be transported on it, and the
number of passengarsj or, else, we must draw
contusions from the income on other works simi
larly situated. From the first source, it is difficult
to draw our conclusions, because, in our State,
so little attention has been paid to statistics, that
we have no certain data upon which to found
such estimates. I will take the liberty of submit
ting the conclusions to which I have arrived by a
comparison with other Roads. I will therefore
simply refer you to the Wilmington and Raleigh
Rail Road, and the Charleston and Hamburg, (I
might also instance the Georgia Rail Roads, as
they very luIJy sustain the conclusions here arrived
at, but it might be deemed tedious to .multiply
proofs.) In the year 1847, the receipts from way
passensrers from the Counties along the line of the
Wilmington Road, amounted to a sum equal to
$1 63' each, for the white population in these
counties. The South Carolina Road received from
a similar source, $2 80 each, and the Georgia
Road $1 90. (The difference in favor of the
South Carolina Road may be accounted for from
the fact that it has a large City at each terminus.)
With these facts, as to passengers, before us,
let us compare with Counties through and near
which the North Carolina Road will pass, and see
what the result will be : The Counties and their
white population, are
Johnston 6996
Wake 12113
Chat'm 10609
Orange 16771
Guilf'd 15891
David'n 11937
Rowan 8646
Iredell, 11930
MeckTg 11850
Lincoln 19658 126,401 at 163 c. ea'h $206,033 63
The freight during the same period
amounted in proportion to population,
to 145 cents each, 183,281 45
Giving us a gross income, when com
pared with the Wilmington Road, of $389,315 08
And let it be borne in mind, that this Road has
to contend in the transportation of freight, with
the North East, Neuse, Contentnea, Tar and Roa
noke Rivers, all of which are navigable for more
than half the year, to the point where the Road
crosses them. In this estimate of receipts, noth
ing is said about through passengers or the trans
portation of the Mail ; it ts based upon the local
business of the country alone.
Now let us, from the foregoing statement of in
come, see what profits may be reasonably expect
ed, after deducting the necessary expenses. And
first, of Road repairs. For the first 6 years it can
not exceed $140 per mile, and for the expense of
transportation, we will take that of the Wilming
ton Road for 1847:
Receipts as above, $389,315, 08
Road repairs, 210 miles,
at $140 per mile, $29,400 00
Transportation acct. in
cluding repairs of Loco
motives and Cars, 57,942 86
Pay of Officers, Agts,8wr. 9,700 00
$97,042 86
$292,272 22
which is nearly equal to 10 per cent, on the cap
ital. '.,
Now Jet us take the receipts of the Charleston
Road. As before, 126,401, at $2 80 each; forpas
sage money, $353,922 80
Freight, 2J per cent, on value of
Produce of these counties for 1840 273,146 60
- $627,06940
For expenses we will add 25 per
cent, to that on the Wilmington Road 1 21,303 57
Which gives ns a hett profit of $505,76583
If it is urged In objection, that thisJatter estimate
is too large, too good to be true, in answer we
have only to say, that the answer is fairly arrived
at. And if a South Carolina Rail Koad will give
this result, I see bo fair reason why a like result
should not be realised from Western North Caro
lina, and that too when we take into account the
business that will be thrown on this Road from
the Western Turnpike,! and the improvement of
the Yadkin, River, VI assert it, and make the is
sue, in less than one year after the Rail Road
crosses the Yadkin, there will be steamers running
on it, to connect with tie Road. ' I do not there
fore believe that the most florid calculations , will
reach the income of this Road.- As the Road
will be between the Wilmington and the Charles-
fton Road-the mean between the'racora bfth
extremes may be iatfly calculated upon.-: ' , 1

which is over 1 3'per cent. on the capital stock.
The only question is, can the Road Deconstruc
ted for thp mnnpv nntHiricvl Kw tk riKariar'? T
might be considered presumption to venture an
opinion about the cost of such a work, especially
as I have not seen the country between Salisbury
and Charlotte. Yet bavin? some knowledge of
the Roads in our country- and their cost. I must
be permitted to say mat I see no difficulty in the
way of constructing a Rail Road on the route be
tween Salisbury and Goldsborough, by the way
of Lexington, Jamestown, Greensboro ugh, Hills
xxo Raleigh, Smithfield, &c. It is true that a
portion of the distance, in the neighborhood of Haw
River, is somewhat broken, but it presents no ob
stacle to compare with many that have been over
come in other States. A direct line from Raleigh
to Salisbury would doubtless be more expensive;
indeed I do not believe that a Road in a direct line
could beconstructed for any thing like three millions
of dollars. -
I am fuDy aware that I lay myself open to crit
icism, m venturing a guess at the cost of such a
work, which cost can only be arrived at properly
and correctly, after the most diligent surveys, by
competent Engineers, but I am in the situation
of the clown who asserted that he should certain
ly burst, if not permitted to give his opinion on
an important question. I feel such deep solici
tude for the success of the work, that I must be
permitted to say that I have not a doubt but that
the Road can be constructed upon the me route
first named, for a sum not exceeding $12,000 per
mile, including the necessary machinery to put
the Road in successful operation.
Respectfully
