But it .-eeined 16 riie to be justified by considerations cim rk'e'cd with the future inter. -sis of the Company, which t is needless to detail. The road from Sivanuah to Jl.icon. and that from Macon to Atlanta, iu Geo gia. carrying nothing but way mail, and .ajmmbcr of other roads, witli which we-are less acquainted, get $175 p'r mile, "whilst we, carrying mai s for foni-fifihs of North C; roliiia,,and probably one-third of .South Car-, olitui, and second iu importance otdy to the great Xorthein :'ind Southern mail, were refused the .-amc cotfip.ens.ition.

' . - To Uiis notification no reply has been received, but the lostmaster of this city, has advertised for Proposals or conveying the mail in stages, from Wilson to Ra leigh, and from Uaston to Raleighr : ; 1: will be observe'd that we ate not demanding any unreasonable compensation. We offer to relinquish per mile of, our present pay, and to aefcept the O'Vest sum paid to any railroad company lorcarrymg a through mail. On "the first class routes,-$237 per Biiie i; paid for a single daily, mail, though ihe inferi f .class furnish we arew n-quired to do so a car for ' jhe eselusive use of the Department, which makes ihe expense as great to them aa the first class om ranies'; and yet the pay in limited to SI 00 per mile. ' hysu.-h a large difference in pay 'for sq nearly qiai and similar services? I never heard anv other r asph for it except that the companies of the' inferior lies were not xpected to sacrifice so much as to m hours of running, I have heard it said that the ate vas to accommodate those 'companies on whom i n - - u"Pived to run m the night. It they, with 'he ad - Ptr mile mail pay, could not afford to fun exclusively m tae bight, n ir to put on the extra train at their own xpensv, how can it be expected of us", who are de. . Pendent on our-home business, to run from 4'r. m., 6 a. m for 125 per mile ? I, of course, s'peak onti -E?0 autnority as to the motive for put ing hi f "F,coa. dui certain ii is, tuai ii is vi uu - North Carolina, and ought not to be pjd . for iuc r vnr.ic.. I . . . t : z - . i . . . .n -. .... ontofthe common treasury, if North Carolina is to be entirely excluded from the use of it. We ask only to be. treated as others are treated. -I have already stated that the Georgia Road got $175 for carrying nothing but local mail,, whilst thesame pay in refused to u for carrj'jng ore 'of the greatest ' off-shoots of the -New Orleans -line. But my limited knowledge of these affairs furnishes another case still more in. point. The Seaboard and Roanoke company carries nothing but a way mail QThdt company con- : nec.U with the Exprexs vrcciselv in the same way and s at the same point (Weldoh) thatvoe wish to connect wun. it. If it is admissible for that compmy to connect'with the Express, why is it hot equally admissible for us ? If our ceasing to be serviceable, "except to carry lo cal mails, involves a reduction of ourpiy to 50 per r mile." why doe it not have the same uiiihappy effect on that company? Is it because we are in North Carolina nd they are not ? Or is it because they have the spiii: to reit; and it was thought we had not? . - - By the night schedule, we are cn.tv off entirely from Norfolk, ijnd trom any choice, of routes going 'North, and thus the whole object for which the Weldpn skid (Ja-ton extension was built, is defeated At the saroe time, the farmer cannot go to Petersburg and feturn, without travelling two entire nights.- On the other hand, under the day schedule, a person may take breakfast in Raleigh, and supper in Petersburg, Rich mond, Norfolk, Portmou h or Wilmington, at his pleasure. Such a schedule is too irivitinj to be sur rendered. It is absurd to suppose, that w e! would ex pand more than a million of dollars in building a rail road, and then run its only passenger train between midnight and day. If ihe Pest-Office Department wants a night train, it can have it,; by paying for it ! Indeed, in, consideration of -some advantages that the1 two train would afford us, we would furnish the ex tra one for less than the actual cost of running it.- . More than that canuot and need not be expected of US. . . 1 ' -j "-':,. On a deliberate calculation of profit and loss, we have concluded that we ,i:I do better to run in the day time, without the mail, than -in the- night with'it. It will be seen that we have all alpng intended to take the step we have now taken, so s-oon as we could yet to -Weldon' where we can connect with the lines of travel, without running in ihe night, and that it is neither suddenly resolved' on, nor taken with a view to extort terms from the Post Office Department. , We would be pleased to carry the mail, in tbe day time, for a moderate price. We will be equally satis fied, if some' mode of conveyance can be found,- which will better accommodate the public, to see that mode of conveyance adopted. THE BLIND GIRL AND HER MOTHEB. 'I'he ""following ihriilinir incident--' he mee ing of a mother and Iwr child is from a report by, Dr. Howe. Piincipal of-the. Perkins' Institu i.o i for the Blind, at. .Boston, 'concerni -g Laura Bridman. the deaf, dumb, and blind girl, whose only means of communication with objects abound her is by the touch, which is re markablvacute : . " Dining the first ear. and six months after she h id left her home, 'her - mother came to visit her, and the scene of her meeting was a very interesting one. . - . " ' . ' The mo' her stood some time gazing 'with overflow- ing eves upon her unfortunate child.' who, ;d! uncon- scious oi ncr presence, was piarvmg aooui lue room. i'Ptesentiy Laur.i ran against 'Tier,, arid at once began here, s; e turned away as -fro:n a stranger, ::nd the po r woaian could rot conceal the pangs sle felt that Ler beloved child did not know her.

"t Another article from home was now given her, and she I euran t look more in efested--shc examineil the stranger inuch closer as id jrave md to undeistand that she came from Hanover she .even endured her caresses,-but would ieave h r with i.ndilf rence at the sl'g'it'est sigual. 'J he distress ol the mother was tiow p dhful to behold ; tor, ;d hough she l ad f ared that she could not he recognized, the painful reality of be ing trcatr wkh co d indifference by a darling child was too much for wp.uatV-s nature to bear. After a while on the mo her's taki 'g hold of hor again, a vague -idea seemed to Bit' across Laura's mind, that this .could nbe bo a stramer ; she therefore hit of her hand very ea'rer'y, -while her co inten m'ce assum med ah expressi-h of intensi; interest; she-becatue very pale, and hen suddenly red, hope seemed strug iling with doibt and aniet', and never were con-t'-ndijig emotions tnore strongly painted upon the hu- j man tace.

The subsequent pr.rting between Laura .tnd her mother, showed alike the affection, the intelligence and the resolution of the child,-and was thus noticed at thf time : ' ' Lura accompanied her mother to the d ior, cling ing close to her all the wav, until they arrived at the threshold, vvhere she" paused jtnd felt around lo ascer tain who was re r her.

" A Discovery. The New Orleans Dzlla of the rth inst.. under the above head, contains the follow ing re marks on the authorship of Uncle Tom's Cabin We have come , to the conclusion that Mrs. Har--riet BeecherStowe is not the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, ai:d have a rather slirewd suspicion of the identity of" the person who is. Our reasons for ignor ing Mrs. Stowe's claims are firs' the feebleness of her other productions, which have appe.tred over her own name, from time to time, in the Milliner's Magi- zines, ot Philadelplna second, the ridiculous effort plain a bcMk which she had onlv read like any othpr possessor OI a cOiy luiru, iiie vuigari y auu tuaipc hess vhich mark her conduct in Britain, from tho speeches delivered in return for penny subscriptions, to the inflated puffs of. her own prowess, which have been ppnted in the Times fourth, her evident awk wardness in the character of a genius, and the fussy, frowsy excitement which usually points out a pre tender'to all experienced eyes. All these facts are con firmatory of our belief that Mrs. Stowq never wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. W.ho wrote it then? A young man of refined taste, brilli mt eloquence and fanatical ODi'dons, who is, we believe, her brother, and rejoices f . i i , t i - !" iu the name of Henk-y Ward Beecher ! - Ail funerals in Pkriare performed by one chnrtcr ed, reistered cotnp "ny.

I hare just come op from the underground workings-, and am very happy tu say that the vejin of 8 lid ore in the S.

Indeed the gov ernment had every motive for retaining him in his old creed. He was simply left to his own discretion, and that he has chosen rightly, will, we think, be allowed even by those who are not given to missionary fanaticism.' His conversion will, at least, save the palace of Futtehgurh from becoming like that of Delhi, a place, whither all evil naturally seeks shelter, and a native Christian noble, with his vast wealth; may accomplish far more good than a hundred ordinary converts."

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Gen. or toe Jeslits. From the Parisian miscel. 1 meoiis it.enis in the Courier des Eta s Uiiis We learn that the genefaj congregations of the Jesuits was to meet on the 1st of June instant, and pr need to ihe election of a tiew General of the Jesuits, in the place of the reverend f. titer- Roothaan, lately deceased. The "e.neral is elected for life, and the powers i h which, h"' is clothed by . the consti ution are more considerable than tho-e conferred by any other n-ligious order.

Steamer Jamestown. -This magnificent steamer arrived Sunday af:ernoon at her wharf at3 1-2 o'clock, i i twenty-! hre and a half hours from New York. The be iuty ;.nd elegance of Iter cons ruction and finish, her cap u-ious sa!o! t, p uio s and state-rooms, were tiie admiration of a 1 trge concourse of our citizens who idted iter and who were most politely received ami ei.tertained by Commander I'iirrih and his officers.

Navy, in a letter to the New York Post, denies n coiiiluMve grounds the report th. t Amin B. v, who vis. ted this country as au acnt of the Turkish Em pcror vvasan impo-iter. It appears, however, from Capf.

Capt, Porter's know ledge ef Amin 13eyV character resulted from hi having brought him to tlfis country in .one of our national vessels. I First SniPMrNT of Tomatoes The first shipment this sea-on from our neighorhood, of this universally es'eenn-d vegetable, was made by Lieut. Carter B. Poindexter, U. N, who shipped by the Tuesday's steamer for Baltimore a lot of very fine ones, the pro dnc.ion of his farm opposite the Navy Yard. We hav e of en remarked that sailors seldom" fail to make good farmers and hordculturi-ts, which is proper enouL'h. As their business is to plow the ocean, they naturally con ract a fondness for plowing the land. Norfolk Herald. Tea Culture. -It is stated by the Rochetr A mi rican that a genileman who has carried on both the cultivation of the tree and the manufacture of tea from their leaves for years, smd some of the time employed two hundred men at tlte work, has left that place, :f er an extensiv e examination of the .-oil aad climate of tlie South, for China and the East Indies, expressly lo im port a stock of young plants, superior in every respect to those cultivated by the late Dr. Junius Smith, at Greenville, South Carolina. The 'Vegetable Trade The steamer Roanoke which lefc this port on Wedn"sday, for New York, took on board 1600 barrels of "different kinds of vege tables. The quantity we believe has seldom been lss at any trip she has made for the last six or eight weeks. This, with the daily shipments of frniti and vegetables to Baltimore, and those sent to Philadelphia, which have been proporlionahly large, will show wh it has been do": n r in the hordcutund line in our vicinity. Xorfylk Herald. - Dr. Rogers, of Boston, srave the followin? lucid exposition of the so-called spi ritual demonstrations, at a conv-ention held in that cUy a few weeks ago : He s .id that he thought the revelations were not spiritual, but " a cerebral automatic movement, de pending for its developement upon the idiosyncratic temperament of each individual, inspired through the spinal centres by a mundane process of electrised vi tality, acting upon every molecule of the system."
