A mptincr of the Stockholders is called to locate the Road. The charter requires that individuals shall subscribe $80,000. The Stockholders meet and the Directors of the Company report to the meeting: that they have only about $50,000 of stock Oaken, and k..;tK th sid of a com Detent Engineer, brought from the North for the purpose, they have had a re connoissance or survej made of three several routes Kotwoen these connecting points : -1st; a direct and the straightest route. 2nd, by Watson's Bridge, on Deep River, Fair Grove, &c 3d, by Carthage, Fair Grove, ic. As to the Salisbury-indignation-meet-ing-route, which, (as it has not been laid down) we may suppose was to ran somewhere near towards the South Carolina line, and leaving the Counties of Chatham, Randolph and Davidson to the North, was to go round to Salisbury by the Hornet's Nest,' or elsewhere no such route has been surveyed, sub scribed for, reported on, voted for or proposed. The first or direct course, it was Btated, would lead over the Ubarrie Hills.and Carraway Mountains a route impracticable, and beyond the views of the Company. , By Watson's Bridge, on Deep River, was a good way, but liable to two capital objections ; first, that it would fell in direct collision with the Capo Fear and Deep River improvement, (in which the State was a large Stockholder,) to the mutual injury. of .ntnriiM! and secondly, if the road took that j tutia r " t . c direction, there was no assurance that the residue ot the requisite amount of Stock wouia De suoscriDea. The thjrd route, by Carthage, Fair Grove, &c. was reported to be a good way, differing from the second wtv little, either in distance or cost ot construction, If gives us pleasure to announce 'the arrival, on Wednesday last, of our friend Dr. Davis, and hisJam- ily, from Europe.: In addition to former valuable additions to' the agricultural interests of our State, such as tha Cashmere Goats, and' Water Oxen, the Doctor and his son have brought with 'them the Thi het Shawl Goat, a Dair of Brahmin Cattle, an assort ment of useful Poultry and valuable seeds adapted to our climate. A tl hough these animals are brought from localities of like temperature with that ot wis State, yet the similarity is the result rather of eleva tion above the sea, than of latitude.' That we may be properly understood,- we-would .state that while at a particular elevation above the level" of the -sea in Asia, the Cashmere Goats and Angora Cats preserve. and have fixed their fine woollen coats, as also tne Vicuna and Alpaca Sheep of South America, yet in precisely.the" ssme temperature in other localities a tendency to deteriorate is apparent in these animals. But, notwithstanding the' degeneracy, they are still found to be valuable additions to the agricultural re sources of the countries where they have been intro-" duced. In the South of France, the Cashmere cross ed upon the Scinde Goat, produce a better' fleeced animal than the oreinal Cashmere.. The Merino Sheep, carried from, its original locality, also degen? erates: but in Saxony, crossed upon coarse-wool led sheep,-makes a Boperior and more valuable, animal than the Merino in Spain. With such facts and re sults, oul v to be developed bv experiments, we have strong hopes that the praiseworthy enterprise of Dr. Davis, in-introducing these animals, may" tarn oat advantageously to the State, and beneficially to him self, . The climate of the South, and the absence of calcaroousncss in our soils, render it improbable that the South will ever, to anv ereat extent be a grazing country, but there can be no douht of its perfect adaptation to browsing animals, such as the Goat family, the Vicuna,-Alpaca, tec. - The Water Oxen are valuable in boggy soils, and the females are good milkers.

Raleigh Register, GoVEBN'OR OF OREGON REMOVAL OF GeN. LANK. The Whig copies a scurrilous article from the Louis ville Journal, justifying the removal hy Gen. Taylor of Gen Lane, the "Marion of the Mexican war," on the ground that Gen. L. "in his addresses and publi cations relative to the battle of Buena Vista, was guilty of the basest fasehoods and calumnies, and of course that he was a thoroughly dishonest'and unprincipled man, unfit to hold any office of trust under the government." The Journal is miserable authority for the truth of any charges aga inst a po litical opponent, and the country will recei ve its evi dence with great distrust. But admitting that Gen. L. had done injustice to Gen. Taylor, was it mag nanimous in the "Second Washington," "who had " no enemies to punish," to wreak his personal re venge on a gallant companion in arms of whom Gen. Taylor in his solemn official despatch of 6th March, 1847, describing the victory of Bucna Vistt, speaks in the following complimentary terms, in the same paragraph which eulogizes Gen. Wool ? "Brigadier General Lane (slightly wounded,) was Georgia. Rau.waT9. The people of Georgia haye already done much in the way of constructing rail ways in that State. The success of their efforts, so far stimulates them to continued and even greater exertions to extend these improvements. The two railways terminating at Macon have, during the last rear, transacted a business worth about 800,000. A convention composed of a large number oi ueu c. t r i: u 1 ,1 active and'zealous throughout the day, and displayed great coolness and gallantry before the enemy." Here is a man, acklowledged by Gen. Taylor to I have fought bravely, and to have shed blood in the cause of the country, dismissed with disgrace from the country's service by President Taylor, from-a spirit of personal revenge ! The " heroic age " has returned with a vengeance and the spirit of the First Washington shows itself every day in its present embodiment! But, continues the, same Louisville Journal : " We have spoken upon the supposition that Gen. Lane has been dismissed on account of his calumnies, gates irom worgi anu cuuu v,"""""4 "aa . "lbut most certanly a very sufficient reason tor his dis Macon n the 1st instant. -A line of railway is trav-T . , b f d h- Drofoun(i ignorance and his utter want of all conceivable qualifications for any !ed from Portland. Maine, to Wilroinzton, North Carolina, and a track has been graded, extending this line to Manchester, on the Columbia branch of the South Carolina road. The convention was called to define the route for and extension of the line across the State of Georgia, sooth west by the way of Ma con, towards New Orleans. This route it is insis ted, will shorten the distance to New Orleans by 210 miles, when compared with the proposed route by the way of Pensaeola, and will even compete with the Mississippi river for the travel of the entire Gulf region, embracing Central and West Florida, South Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Mexico. Great efforts are making to complete the railway connexion between Charleston and Savannah, by way of Nashville, with Memphis on the Mississippi. The route from Augusta, through Milledgeville to Macon was recommended by the convention. A rail way was recommended also from Macon to some point on th0Geor?ia railway west of the Oconee river. The proceedings of the convention were spirited, and evince a commendable resolution to go ahead with the works of internal improvemenet. Rtpublic. Washington National Monument. The Asso ciation at Washington City who have in charge the construction of this great national work, have ex pressed the wish to procure from each'of the States of the Union a block of Granite or Marble, with ap propriate inscriptions, to be placed in conspicuous positions in the inside stairway of the Obelisk. " Gov. Manly, entertaining the opinion that he will be fulfilling the public will by complying with this re. "quest, has had a correspondence with the agent, and is now desirous of procuring a block of White Mar ble, 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 specification in his pos session, by our own Lithographers, and have engra ven 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 emblem and representative of the " Old North State" but, on in quiry, the engraving cannot be executed with.6ufcient taste and skill on stone. The Governor will be thankful to receive frorq one of our Western Quarries a suitable block, and will paywhatever may be right on its delivery in Raleigh I This proceeding is not intended to interfere at al- with the action already taken on this subiect bv natrit otic Associations in different parts of the State, but the Governor feel himself called upon, officially, to max tha contribution to the Monument ot the " f a office requiring the slightest acquaintance with states manship." This is truly farcical. Gen. Taylor has never ex hibited the slightest acquaintance with statesman ship yet for fighting the battle of Buena Vista he is a marvellous proper man for President of this great nation. Gen. Lane aided Gen. T. with his zeal ac tivity and gallantry in winning said battle. Yet he is not fit to fill the office of Governor of Oregon. We know not which most to wonder at, the cool impu dence of the excuse set up, or the miserable motives of spite and revenge ascribed to the modern Wash ington, in thus striking down a personal enemy. The people of Indiana have just declared what they think of the ignoble deed. Rich. Enq. OvtL Town. Our Town has presented the appear ance of a decided improvement in business during the present week. The streets have been generally thronged with wagons and visitors from a distance, selling and trading. This is an indication that the usual dullness incident to the Summer season here, is beginning to break up; and that the time of active operations is approaching. ' But what we .designed spying under this head more especially, is in relation" to the improvements going on here, in building. There are some eight or ten-buildings in progress of erection. The car penter's hammer and saw are briskly plied, and by the first of January, our Town willjhe graced by a number of new houses. B. Craige, Esq., Mr. John H. Hardie, John D. Brown, John M. Horah, and Robert Murphy, are severally building, large frame residences. His Hon. Judge Ellis 'is putting up a large brick dwelling house; and B. F. Fraley, James Murphy and Moses L. Brown, are each of them re- rnoddlingand considerable enlarging other buildings. Mr. i raley is preparing a house to be used as a store, by Mr. E. Myers, who expects to leave for the Nor thern cities in a few days to-purchase a stock of goods. These, when finished, with theimprdve- tnents.of Pr. Whitehead and Joseph F. Chambers, lately completed, will add very considerably to the interest and appearance of the Town. - We hear of others who intend to build, but have not yet commenced. Preparation is making, howev er, tor erecting a new Lmtheran Uhurch. A lot has been purchased for that purpose, and workmen are making the brick. -This building, we learn, is to be a handsome one.. baluburv Wulchman. THE ABDUCTION OF REY, ' We learn from the New Orleans papers that Juan Rey, aliai Garcia, who ,was abducted by the Spanish Consul at New Orleans, or by his agents, and cainea back by force to Cuba to answer Borne charge against him under the laws of that Island, haa been demand ed of the CJaptain-General by the American Consul, Gen. Campbell, delivered up,, and brought back to New Orleans. He has been placed in the. custody of the-Marshal at New Orleans, in order-to- secure his testimony in the case 'of th Spanish Coisul," now under bonds tor his appearance at the next term of me A-sircun ioun ci uib uiuicu omico ui iuuii?"i and it is stated that, at his own request,. he has been placed in prison for the present, as a security against personal violence. The Washington Republic ot Friday last, the organ of the President, thus notices hiS-outrage. by the Spanish Consul t . . The last news that we had of Garcia was to the effect that he was imprisoned, "and that our consul had been refused permission to visit him. . Ah atten tive nerusal of the testimony eiven on the examination at New Orleans, in connection with the confinement of Garcia at Havana, and the exclusion of Air. (amp- bell from an interview with him. persuaded us that the defence of the Spanish consul had been attempted by suborned witnesses, and that there had Deenan audacious act of violence committed by the. Spanish consul within the jurisdiction of the United States. Thus promptly has American honor been vindicated bv the President." The momerit that he had Teason to believe that an outrage had been committed upon an individual entitled to the protcctior ot.our laws, ne adopted the precautionary measures called for by the circumstances of the case. The moment he became catUAed tlmt Garcia had been violently aSducled from our soil, he directed the Secretary of State- to order our consul at Havarlarto demand-his release from the eautain rrenertl. There was some reluctance dis nlavcd in the first instance, we understand,- by the authorities oftCuba; bnt the alternative presented to the surrender of their captive was one which forbade trifling-, and admitted .oi nine aeiay. vv unin uuriy davs from the time that the President had determined upon his policy, his orders have been transmitted to Havana, and Garcia has .been restored to the jurisdic tion of the United States." Prompt and commendable as has been the action of the President thus far. we hope this matter will not be permitted to rest here. A great principle is in volved, and it ought to be vindicated in the most sig nal manner. The Government of Spain ought to be required to dismiss the present Captain-General of Cuba, provided it be clear (and we do not see how it can be doubted,) that he bad any agency in forcibly abducting Juan Rey or, Garcia from New Urleans; and the Consul, if convicted of the crime by the Cir cuit Court, ought to be severely punished. Our soil should be sacred from the footprints of foreign des potisms. The Pole may come here, if he chooses, with his armTceking, with the blood of the Czar; and there is no hand which can tear him forcibly from the Citv nf Refuse" which he has sought and made his home. It is our boast, throughout the wide world, wherever the stars and stripes have been unfurled. and wherever the name of Washington has been ut tered, that America is the asylum of the oppressed and down-trodden of all lands; and that therms, of despots neer reach to these shores, to act upon any thing by force. We apprehend no serious difficulty with Spain on account of this matter; but if one step should produce another, and finally, if war with that power should be the result, the President may rest assured that the people of the Republic will back liim aa one man. ' The Democrats, no matter what the cause of a war may be, or how it may be gotten into, will never be found 4 giving aid and comfort" to the public foe.

The fathers of these very Abolitionists were once slave-holders, and the most strenuous defenders of the institution. They imported the article from Af rica, and they held slaves and trafficked upon them as long as they could make money at it; but when, they found, owing to their soil and climate, that slave la bor wasideclining in value, they sold off their stock to the Southern people, pocketed the proceeds, and then commenced preaching against the ' Bin" of holding "human fleshWand " human souls " in bondage! The world, whether ancient or modern, affords no in stance of meanness and selfishness on a level with this. These same men now seek to limit slavery, and to abolish it in the District pf Columbia, in order, as they say, thatAy may not be considered responsible for its extension or continuance dn common soil ; but their real object is, to strike blow after blow against the institution until it is broken up or rendered use less in the old States.

Stone and McColIom, which is to be in this City on Friday and Saturday next, is said to be superior in every respect to any similar Company which has yet visited this region of country. The performances, it is said, are mark ed by propriety and good taste, and the Managers are spoken of as gentlemen who understand their busi" ness and conduct it on the best principles. We have no doubt they will have any quantity of spectators while herei and that those who' may attend'will be pleased with their performances. We are requested . to call attention to the change which has been made in the advertisement of this Company. They will not .exhibit at Graham and Greensboroue-h. as stated in their publication last week ; but will be present on the same days, .the 12th and 13th instant, at Prospect Hill and Milton.

The Republican also notices, in indignant terms, the appointmenof Samuel Dudley, by the Secretary -of the Treasury, as Physician to the Marine Hospital at Portsmouth, in place of Dr. William Cramer, re moved. -The Republican says: "For-the situation of physician at the Portsmouth Hospital, there were, to our knowledge, several ap plicants besides Doctor Dudley every one of whom possessed superior qualifications to him in every re spect. The appointee is styled "Doctor" only by courtesy he not having received -even a medjeal diploma. We can hardly believe that those persons who signed his recommendation consider him " a skillful surgeon," or a physician' " of an extensive practice, as stated in his petition to the secretary. I o tnfle with and peril the lives of our hardy tare by the appomtmeut of so incompetent an officer to so responsible a station, is an outrage demanding public condemnation. Physicians, skillful and competent. were applicants for the situation: yet they are all set aside, and the least competent of all the applicants selected. io man here, VVhifr or Democrat, will deny the truth of this statement. We understand the appointment of Doctor Dudley is a scheme of the wire-pullers to secure votes on the Island of Portsmouth, and probably to satisfy some creditor of his, who can command votes. It was con ferred upon bim entirely for political effect. The salary attached to the office will enable him to satisfy his creditors, and they in turn promised to influence the elections as much as they were able. Such was the disgraceful means used to secure the appointment xifan incompetent officer, because he could indirectly exert an influence upon the elections, while the ap plication of physicians, skillful and competent, who could not wield a similar influence, have been entirely disregarded. It is high time for the people to con- demn an administration when it seeks to build up party projects at the expense of the public good." FOREIGN NEWS BY; THE CANADA.

Hungary, Austria and Russia. The London Times of the 19th July, says j . . ' Oar Vienna, papers and betters of the 5th inst.,"con tain important intelligence from the Beat of war in Hungary. - The city of Raab has-been occupied by the Hungarians, after a sharp conflict with the Im perialist garrison. A disorderly crowd of fugitives arrived at Presburg on the 4th inst. and ' it was soon known that the garrison of Raab had been, surprised by the Hungarians, who had pushed a. -detachment of their horse to Wieselberg, and who -were within sight . of , Altenburg, at the distance of 12 English miles from. Presburg. At Gorgo and Raab, the Hun garians found large stores of food and ammunition, 80,000 bushels of oats, and 2,400 head of cattle, which they, carried off to the fortress of Coraorn. Beside this they captured two companies of Austrian foot and six. pieces of artillery. -The' Hungarian troops, who .were commanded, by Klapka, did not keep possession of Raab, but returned to the fortress of Comorn, in doing which they seized the Vienna .mail. The greatest consternation' reigns at Vienna, and among the Imperialists "at Presburg. . . The Kol ner Zeitung states that the Commander of the-Imperialist garrison of Temesvar, Gen., Kulkori na, has been killed in the assault by which the Hun garians carried that place on the -13th. , ult. .Large quantities of muskets, guns and ammunition, fell in to the hands-of the victors.:? - The papers of Vienna at last admit the capture of Temesvar 'The fortress was taken on the 13th July, after the most obstinate resistance; Prukawina, the commanderlike Hentzi at Ofen, fell, with the great er part of his forces. - . - The Oesterreichisce Correspondent asserts that not only the garrison but the entire Servian popula tion was shot down. On the other hand 1,500 Hon veds, partly dead and partly wounded, cover the ram parts and fill up the ditches, Thus the last of the important fortresses of Hungary, are in the hands of the Magyars. The stock of arms, especially mus ketry and cannon, taken in Terhdsvar, is very great, and will be of immense service to the Hnngarians, though they haye just received from England, by way of Orsova, 50,000 percussion locked .muskets. - L Travellers from Szsedin, who have- arrived at Vienna, communicate the contents of Kossuth's bulletins. The first is couched in the following terms : . ' " " ReVoice patriots ! the country Is saved ! KOSSUTH." The second bulletin states that Bern has defeated the Russians in .Transylvania. .The third announces the Ban's discomfiture, and the raising of the 'seige' of l'eterwardien oy uuyon. . lue fourth records the taking of Tamesvar, but that the place was at length carried by a general assault, 1,500 Honveds having fallen in the breach. The Sulloiial Gazette of "Berlin says, on the other hand : " General Velter with the creater part of the Magyar army- has attacked Haynau in the frank : be hind Haynau is Dembinski at Czegledand Szolnok, and before him is Rerezel, while Georgey, who has not crossed the Theiss," and who. haa "Contented him self with making sure near Tokay, of the points most favorable for the passage, is occupying Paskie witch on the road from Kasedau to Pesth. -We con sequently see that Haynau's position is-indeed despo rate, and should ho be beaten the main force of the Russians under the Prince -of Warsaw would find itself literally surrounded on all sides. -Movements ix Traxsvlvania--B.E5i!s Great 'ictort.

Duringthe whole of the proceedings he sat with the Countess's hands clasped in both of his own, occasionally givintr itj fervent squeeze, and at particular parts of the evident whispering to her with the fondest air, and pressiiw her hand to his lips with juvenile warmth.
