Military Visit-Gallantry. .On Tuesday" the 22d, the) Rowan Bifle Guards, under the command of Capt. H. L. Robards, whenjcelebra ting Washington's Birth-day made a flying yisit to our town, which was as, unexpected as it was agreeable to us, -The Company arrived here in a speci al train, about one o'clock, iri full uni form and their beautiful JJ'lag, which was a present from the fair jladies of Salisbury, flaunting in the bree je, and to the strains of martial music parad ed t&rough our streets in fine military 'style, and firing salutes. During a brief stay the Guards paid their devoi s ers in true military style to tlte Fairof the female College for what is a sol- dier's life worth, if lovely woman smile not upon him? and in the large Cam pus pertormea a variety oi evolutions, -fired salvos and otherwise the Guards displayed their military science intho presence o? youta and beauty. In a short while the Guards wore joined by the "Minna Cadetis," Capt. Andrews, who are always ready at a moment's notice to honor tl)c profes sion of Marshal Ney, even ai they vie1 with tfie most ex pert disciples of Mars in wielding sword and spear. The Guards and Cadets then couitevmach ed through town, thence to Itfie depot and went on the train to Salisbury, where we lose sight of them. The Cadets returned -from their (excursion i late in the afternoon, no doubt much J gratified with the civilities which was I so handsomely shewn them by the gal j lant Guards. i The Stockholders j In the Fayetteville and jCoalfields Road have, in a formal maimer, ac- N cepted the aid offered them by the Legislature, and have advejrtised for . bids to put the whole lengith of the Road under contract.

Shaver, in that place, on the first day of March jnext, and will remain open for. twenty days. The Revolution in Hayti The successful revolution in Hayti, resulting in the overthrow of Soul ouque, was accomplished in ' about three weeks. Gen. Gcffrard, who conducted it, was at first joined only by his son and two others. Not a life was lost in the conflict, the republicans relying mainly on the Empicror's un popularity. They entered) Port-au- Prince, the capital, in triumph, on the 15th of January, made prisoners tho Emperor and his family, and transfer- red them to the protection of the French legation. Gen. GefTifard made an address to the people, at night, the city being illuiniiiateld throughout. , I The population ol" Hayti at this pc- io4 is estimated to be 750.Q00 suffi cient, with a good government, a sta ble peace, to make the Island as pro- -ductive as Cuba. ! w Dr. Tate, Surgeon Dentist, Whose card Appears in another col umn, requests us to state that he will be absent from town for about a cou ple of weeks wheulie will return and resume his professional duties.- Gone North to Buy Goods.
