They gained on hint an fatt, that twice he dropped his naildle and t.Mik up hit gun. .

Sta cy waa first interrogated by one the old inert, ho spoke English, and interpreted to the others- Stacy refused Ui betray his in formant. Iiis wife waa then questioned, while at thes-imc moment two Indians stood threatening the two children with tomahaw ks in case tlie did not confess. She attempted to evade the truth, by declaring thai she had a dream the night before which had alarmed her, and that she had nersukded her husband to fly "Tile Great Spirit never designs to talk in dreams to white faces,'' said the old Indian; "Woman, thou hast two faces and two tongues. , Speak the truth or thy chil dren shall surely die.".: The little boy ami girl were then brought rluee to her, and ihe two savngee stood mer them ready to exe cute their bloody orders. "Will'thou name," aaid the old Indian, "the red man who betrayed hit ttibel I will ask thee three times " 'I he mother an swered not. "Will thou name the traitor Thia ia the second time."

In our last iiiiinher we ike died briefly the means that common sense dictaies, every Slate must use, as trade is now comrnlli d, if ahe would secure lo herself a due deuree of , Commercial linlepemlence ! The object to he kepi a steadily in view, il must bo snparenl 10 all, should be to ensure that as large a share as possible of the profits and other incidental benefits of the products of the industry of her riiiicns, of their trade and commerce, shall be realised hy her own cititens, upon her own tuil within her own borders. .-'. The principal means to accomplish this we contend is (and we do nut see how this can be doubled In have a liberal and judicious tyttem of Internal Improvements so shap ed and managed as to secure so desirable an object. ... The question . we come to now is, has North Carolina so far done this! Has she thus far been liberal in constructing Internal Improvements of any kind I Even in what she hat done has shn done il judiciously f . Even in the limited expenditures she has made for the purpose, has the, umil at least, within the last three or lour years, had in' view, at all, any tyntem, much less has the until with i ii that lime taken tlie first minatory step towards building tin such a system at we have contended lor, and which every inlelli gent man must admit it to vitally important lo secure a due degree of coinmercial indepen-1 practicability of the work, il ill-comforts with deuce, and lay the foundation: for solid j hit professions of peculiar interest in the mat and permanent prosperiu!

In what litile she has dime, until recently, al least, she has not apparently, even cast one glance inwards any systematic scheme, hav ing lor its object the building up of her own markets, and thus securing her commercial independence, by giving to her owu e.lixeiu Ihe control and the benefits of her trade. On the other hand, auch workt aa she has planned and executed have actually retarded, if they have nol gone far to defeat, whal should he a primary obj ct of such works the curing the commercial independence of the Slate. Instead of devising and carrying for ward a liberal and judicious lystnn of Inter hal Improvements for the benefit of the whole Stale, what have we seen I We have seen the resources nf the Suite, to far as Improve menta are Concerned, most miserably misap plied. We have seen these resources fritter ed sway with a lavish hand, upon mere local, at best, (ectional object. The two principal work upon which the fund of the State Treasury; and the money of private individu als have been expended, are the Wilmington tnd Raleigh Railroad' and llie Raleigh and Gaston Kailrnnd. Were either of these ever designed, much lest calculated, to be oat s of one whole part of iijsttm of pny kind, mucn less suen a svtiem as we have been contending, is essential to llie best interests of the Slate?
