He it very reluctant, it ia said, to de stroy n grand a city, and will giro the French every opportunity to nasmiigto foe peace.

Qrat pHIEF JUSTICE PEAJBQN IMPEACH Last week we published an able and well writ- am communication in defence of the venerable OJIef Justice of North Carolina. This week we publish two others having the aarne end in view. These communication! am from undoubted Conaeryavc ajjurces, and we bare rtf reason to believe that any pf th.ein were prompted by the Chief Justice. They speak this aeqtimenta, so rat a jhn defen t;r uj;.'tive.of the Chief Jus tice, of a large portion pf the peopleof the West, irrespective of party. They but re-echo senti aaeets that we hare, ourself, frequently heard expressed of late by a number of prominent and undoubted tonservalivea. The demand for his impeachment generally comes from those who are vjolent partisans. The voice of the truly Conservative in the western half of the State is against his impeachment Those of them that do n.9.t entirely endorse the course of the Chief uauce in the haoeat eorpm cases still hare con fidence in his integrity. They do not question his honesty, his sincerity or his patfiojism. - And, judging prom all ftiat we hear on the sub- Two weeks ago we called the attention of the people of Salisbury and Rowan County to the great importance) of securing additional railroad facilities). In our opinion the very life of the place depends upon it Who then called atten tion to (he fact of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Co. of Virginia, backed by the Ralti mon and Ohio Railroad Company had project ed, and wen now constructing an extension of their road from Lvnchbnrjr in the direction of Danrijle. Ad efibrt should at once be made to secure the extension of it to this place, crossing the Virginia line some miln west of Danville. It is almost the last hope of the ancient town of Salisbury. With said road 'constructed to this place, and the Cheraw road built, Salisbury would become- she competing point for all the freights transported northward from this rntin section of the State. At present Ch.rlottc'is the competing point, and the advantages which that city derives from it an enormous. Goods an transported from all the Northern cities to Char lotto for from 33 to 60 per cent leas than it costs to have them shipped to Salisbury, Persona in Concord wialiing to ship cotton to New York find t pl)caicr to ship it to Charlotte first and then re-ship it frdnrlhnt point. These advan tage have enabled the merchants of Charlotte lo mpnppolise the wholesale trade in lids part of the State. Salisbury onee had it all, but it has almost entirely ajipped from hef grasp.

Will the people ol h'tdis bury and Rowan County permit him to do it? We cannot believe it. If they do, then farewell, a Jong farewell to all their prosperity. If they do, then Salisbury wilt be like a rocky promon tory, cut oil' from mainland 'and drifted outjo sen, surrounded by dangerous reefs ami left to waste and decay. The little trade that she now lirta by wagons from certain North-western coun tios will be diverted U Charlotte.

Of the ne cessity of inskipg some important amendments to the Constitution there can be iu doubt. Changes in several Important particulars are demanded by the grnt body the people, of all parties.

At the recent election in West Virginia, the Radicals were routed, "horse, fbp, and dragoons," as they will be in Missouri.1 1 It could not have been otherwise.

Ex Gov. Vance, of this State, was one of the most distinguished speakers. AfVcrexplaitl ing how the late Conservative victory was won in this Male, he referred to the (piestion of colored suffrage we quote from tlieSn't report as follows : "He resisted negro suffrage to the last. Now that it i a law,' lot us give it a fair tri al. If the regro proves unlit to exercise the right, it wi H shmgli awty from him rtt the nature of tilings. The negroes are it kindly disposed, affectionate and faithful people - During the war tin1' committed no outrages, but were faithful to their owners and employ ers. The negroes have committed no wrongs down in his Stale that w ere not instigated by enrptt-baggers. Their good conduct during the war deserves consideration at our hands.

For a lung time alter the war, while the South fl its suffering from the reconstruction measures or cungreaa, the people were in dispair.

When a Conservative Congress shall have control of the government, they will hedge The annual report of the department will be made at an early day. and for this and other reasons I believe the interval prior to the'adjourne I sessioa of Congress the fittest for such a change.
