An Appeal.
We be?, once more, to urge upon the at
tention of the citizens of Iredell, the impor
tance there is for subscribing without longer
.le'av for Stock in the Railroad which is to
connect State?ville with Chnrlotte. anif thence
with ptlier Southern cities an'l seaports. Ire
dell, and the Counties that lie adjoining, are
deeplj - in'ereslel in thi3 ehtfrprize. and time
is raoi llv nawins awav, when, now, not a
day should be lo9t in beginning the work.

tion of country, in magnitude amounting to
nearly one-eighth part of the State, admits
not of the smallest doubt. Upon Iredell, es
pecially', Wilkes and several other counties,
the Road, when built, will confer benefits
which, now, few can estimate. It will dou
ble and treble, the value of all real estate, for
many miles on either side of its course ; while
the advantages for trading to the best mar
kets, which generally are to be found in the
South for the chief products of this region
will.be of more value, perhaps, than the cer
tain appreciation in the value of property
all, together, appealing to every interest ag
ricultural, mechanical and commercial then
why shnuhf not the road be built ?
While the town of Charlotte and county of
Mecklenburg, are exerting their energies
and have subscribed liberally (over $100,000)
to this enterprize will not the people of Ire
dell to a man, subscribe for as much stock as
will bring the Road to Statesyille, in the
shortest period possible? It is the earnest
desire of the friends of the enterprize, that
the route be surveyed, and the contracts let ;
out between Charlotte and Statesville, on or
before the 1st of January;, and this can be
done easily if, Iredell will only consent to do
what will be forthe advancementof her high
est and" greatest interest, and make her name
glorious in the annals of history. We view
it as a work,7 in which, every citizen of the
County should embark heartily an enter
prize that must and will repay them a hun
dred fold for the outlay. It cannot be other
wise. If the time should pass by, and the
Chartjer not be secured, no other Legislature,
in all probability, would grant another This,
then should be the strongest inducement to
improve the presentand secure the boon, now
within' our reach, but ere long, if neglected,
will pass from us forever !
Mecklenburg, desires that this Road should
be built, but Iredell, being farther from mar
ket, would be much more benefitted by it
for it would afford her citizens the opportu
nity for trading directly with the South, as
well as with tlie East, and by direct lines,
either way, make a choice of markets.

- Opposition Meeting in Iredell.
We are requested to give notice that in pur
suance of "ithe recommendation of the Opposi
tion State' Committee, a meeting of the Oppo
sition of Iredell will be held in the Court-
Honne, in Statesville, on Tuesday, the 22d
instant. (County Court week,) at 2 o'clock,
for the purpose of appointing delegates to the
Opposition State Convention, to be held in
Raleigh on the 22d of February, 1SG0 ; and
for the transaction of any other business that
may come before the meeting.
! Cumberland County Fair.
We learn from the Fayetteville Observer
that the late Fair held in that place, was a
decided success. A larger number of articles
were on exhibition than at any previous Fair,
and the cash received at the gate amounted
to $684, 87. The address which was deliver
ed by Mr. Holden, is spoken of in high terms,
for its thorough devotion to the Agricultural
and Mechanical interests; lupon all of which,'
says the Observer, 'he has evidently thought
much and in formed, himself thoroughly.'
Among those who received premiums, we
notice with pleasure the following :
Miss Lydia Salmon, of Statesville, for Ma
sonic Emblems, Leaf and Fearns. The same
for Box of Wax-Beans, very natural. The
eame'for box of Wax-Flowers. Miss Jose

The Catawba Crossei
We are informed, that the cars upon the
W. Nj C. Rail Road crossed the Catawba riv
en for the first time, on .Saturday last. As
much !of the grading is finished and the cross
ties fixed west of the river towards Morganton,
the iron will be laid as rapidly as possible.
We congratulate our Catawba friends, thai the
Railroad has penetrated their borders at last,
and wish them great prosperity to be derived
from ita usefulness. If they,will send in their,
names, and aubseribe liberally for theipref,
we make ao doubt but that great blessings
will wait upon them. We can send it to them
llv the Railroad, without the least delay.

gtitute is a magnificent pile, located in a bean- j

not enter it. but could tell by the number of
Juvenile heads visible through the windows,
that the class-rooms are well filled. Four

the oldest papers in the State. We made
calls at all the establishments, and were pleas
ed to find the Editors in the enjoyment of

business is flourishing; which, indeed, could
not be otherwise, in a town and county bo

the mellow-light of a full moon, and balm
atmosphere, for Salisbury ; thence, next morn

our friends well and looking cheerful.
Gov. Brown's Message.
The Legislature of Georgia convened at
Milledgeville, on the 7th instant. We have
received Governor Brown's Message, in an
Extra issued from the office of the Atlanta
American ; it is a lengthy document, an treats
of a number of subjects pertaining to the gen
eral wefare of the Commonwealth, some of
which it might be well enough for our own
Executive to incorporate into his annual mes
sage next winter. We have only space for a
few extracts this week. Referring to the State
Road, the message siys :
"For information in reference to thecnidi
tion, management and incomes of the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad, for the year end
ing 30th September last, you are referred to
the Report of Dr. John W. Lewis, its very
vigilant, efficiept arid worthy Superintendent.
I feel that I do but an act of justice when I
say, that in my opinion the Stite has at no
time had connected with the Road, in any
capacity, a more competent, trustworthy and
valuable pumii servant. It will be seen bv
reference to his Report, thai the sum of $102,
000 in cash has been paid into the State
Treasury from the nett earnings of the Road
during the fiscal year ending 30th September
last; and it will be seen by. the report of the
State Treasurer and Comptroller General,
that four hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars have been' paid into the Treasury during
the fiscal year. ending 20th October. 1859.
The old iron on about 25 miles of the track,
has, since 1st January, 1858, been taken up
and its place supplied with heavy new rail-
The Road bed and all the superstructure and
machinery are kept, in excellent order. No
new debts are contracted which .are not
promptly paid monthly, if demanded; and no
agent appointed or retained in office during
my administration, is known to be a default
er to the amount of a single dollar."
On the subject of developing the resoiirces
the State, by the construction of Railroads,
the message recommends a special act for af
fording State aid whenever Companies are or
ganized and a certain portion of the work is
completed, and enters upon a detailed argu
ment why it should be done. Upon the sub
ject of building other roads than those now in
use, the message says :
"It is sometimes said that in justice to the
railroad companies already in existence, the
State should not aid or encourage the build
ing of other roads which may come in com
petition with those now in operation. Some
of these companies are now making very large
profits, and while I desire tosee them prosper,
and would not wish to see their dividends re
duced below a point where the stock would
be reasonably profitable, no matter-how much
other interests might be thereby promoted, I
am unwilling that such sections of the State
as are without railroads should be denied
their benefits on the ground that the large
incomes of some of the wealthy companies
now in existence, might be reduced by giving
these sections an opportunity to participate
in the advantages which would result to them
from the construction of other roads. Indeed,
I entertain no doubt that the interest of the
people requires that the number of roads be
increased till no one shall have a monopoly
of the business of any very large portion, of
the State, provided that each shall beleft with
sufficient business to make its stock reasona
bly remunerative The greater the competi
tion between the roads, the lower will be the
freight and fare, and the better for the inter
est of those who travel and ship freight over
them. When there is no competition, for the
purpose of accumulating larger incomes, the
freights are usually placed by the Compaay
at a very high figure, and the shipper must
bear the loss.'
We learn from the message that the State
is in a most prosperous condition, out ofdebt,
and her citizens not bnrthened with taxes ;
and all this has been brought about by the
multiplication of Railroads, and their judi
cious management. A worthy example for
North Carolina to follow.

Last week, we spent a couple of days In
Charlotte, and took some paine to notice gen

everywhere conspicuous in that pleasanttown
we might aay" city. The -stores and busi
ness houses are numerous and well stocked
with merchandize, and, to us it appeared,
there was no Jack of customers. Within the
past five years, the increase of the place has
been wonderful, which is owing, altogether,
to Railroads. Palatial residences meet the
eye in every direction, and numerous cottages
in cozy taste, that denote the highest degree
of comfort and local prosperity. The places

Louisiana in 1843. and was a native of Ca
barrus county, N. C. So says the Alexandria
(La.) American.
A letter, says the Fayetteville Observer,
from Mount Olive, Wayne county, N. C, to
the Newbern Progress, states that on the
night of the 20th ult., J. B. Bowden, Esq.,
was robbed, and shockingly beaten, until he
was supposed to be dead, and his body thrown
into a pond of water. His recovery is doubt
ful. A man named Capps has been committed
to jail on suspicion. The same letter men
tions that an interesting little girl of 12 years
narrowly escaped being burnt to death in
Goldsboro', from her clothes taking fire, ow
ing to wearing hoops.
The Fayetteville1 Observer says Gerrit
Smith, Giddings, and Greely, and the New
England Emigrant Aid Society, all deny that
they were identified with or privy to Brown's
scheme. Even Dr. Howe of Boston, though
admitting a correspondence with Col. Forbes,
and not denying the accuracy of the villain
ous disclosures made to him by the Colonel,
pretends that he had "no connection with the
conspiracy of Brown, or responsibility for his
acts." We expect next to see Brown himself
repudiating all responsibility for the acts of
"John Smith," under which name he passed
at Harper's Ferry Until his war broke out.
But no ; old Brown, with all his villainies,
has too much pluck for that. It is only the
cravens who have set him on that are ready
to shun responsibility, as they kept out of
harm's way in the fight.
Loss of the Royal Charter & 400 lives.
The following is taken from the Liverpool
Daily Post of the 27th October: "The pnb
lic will learn this morning with overwhelm
ing grief, that the splendid vesel, the Rovnl
Charter, was totally lost yesterday in Muff a
Red Bav, near Bangor. The melancholy
intelligence, which reached here last night.
was brief, but we fear it is only too true, that
of upwards of four hundred persons who
were on board, only ten are said to have
been saved. There is some hope, however
that this is an exaggeration ; but under any
circumstances the loss of life, it is to be fear
ed has been immense. The Roval Charter
had about a half million of gold on board
when the disaster took place. It is not as
certained, for the telegraph had ceased to
work, and so destructive had been the storm
along the coast yesterday, that the Chester
and Burkhead Railway was destroyed in two
places. At Pennmanawe, twenty of the lost
had been washed ashore. The Bay in which
the catastrophe occurred is two or three miles
to the westward of Puffin Island in Angle-
sea, and six or seven miles to the northwest
of Beaumaris. It ia a sandy, shallow beach
for several miles, with promontories at each
end of the Bay. The country around is wild
and few houses are about.
Mississippi and Douglas.
Judge C- S. Tarpely writes a letter to the
Vicksburg Svn, explaining his position in
regard to Douglas. He thinks that Douglas
will be certain to get the Charleston nomina
tion, and that if 60" nominated the States
which go into the convention wifl'be bound
to support him. Judge T. thinks, however,
that the southern delegates ought to with
draw from the convention in the event of
that body's refusing to pass a resolution de
claring it the duty of Congress to protect sla
very in the Territories. He would then have
a southern ticket, and endeavor to throw the
election in the House, and take a chance
there, in preference to seeing either Seward
or Douglas chosen by the people.
He says : Douglas will carry in the con
vention upon the first ballot, the vote of eve
ry free State except Oregon and California,
and after a few ballotings, Tennessee, and
Mississippi will support him, and thus sup
port his nomination. At least this was the
reason I gave for the opinions expressed by
" Syphax ;" and he might have further add
ed, that I also said, that many men at the
south who were now denouncing Douglas,
would swear that he is the very safest and
best politician living, did they but perceive
that he had a reasonable prospect of being
elected.

started their prisoner byvprivate'fSnueyance,
and succeeded, in reaching Charleown with

were closely witched. As they pa.fed through

Portrait of the "Little Ctfaht." &
We shouM. judge that thefvvriter of
the following, which we elipjfrom the
Cincinnatti ;CommerciaJ,waihot much
of a Douglas man. Hear hirl: -Douglas
belongs, by temperamehif and con
stitution, td the race of bulges. His
proper, legitimate sphere istthe bar
room, or the prize ring., li is just
the kind of ia man to be thejt favorite
of black-less and the idol . H bottle-
holders. His endowments tlimb and
muscle, his compact-and,buKy solidi
ty of form, and enormous fistiejstrength
would have jmade him facile rinceps
among the Sullivans,; the -'-prriseys,
and the Hemans. But the.roscope
of his fortunes was differentia st, and
having settljed early in life, 0 a back
woods country, he was fated become
a politician '
In a community of little 'Intellectu
al or moral culture, his rise "ais rapid,
for his powers were just of $ie coin
pass which fitted him to sbie- where
a man of finer nature wouldave fail
ed. He possessed moderat(sintellec
tual talentsj an iron will, umjring en
ergy, and unbounded ambitpn. He
rose at length, through various grada
tions, to be a Senator of tbj United
States, and urith greedy eye devour
ing the Presidency from afa he has
shaped every scheme, and stained ev
ery nerve tcj win it. f
The powers of Douglas as S! public
.orator, are limited to alaiijand mo
notonous repetition of one iota, and a
bovine power of bellowing . . to the
largest audiince. He is de titute a
like of variety, compass, hqfjior, pa
thos and eloquence. He exhibits not
a solitary glfeam of genius; !jr a ray
of wit, nor a spark of imjgination.
The only element of eloquence he pos-.
sesses, is thf vox et pretereaif ihilt)i&

The Population of the .World 4f cording

The Director of the Statistical De

world according to creeds, afollows :
The whole population of thearth is
estimated at one billion and to hun
dred millions, of whom Christians con
stitute 25.77! per cent ; Jewa j).38 per
cent ; Asiatic religion 46.15;fer cent ;
Mohammedan 12.31 per cent : Pagan
25.29 per cent. The 335,000,000 of
Christians he divides as follows : Ro
