We can tell the American that we have
railroads in the South that were well
managed or bringing good dividends, the
American's criterion of good management
before any of the New England rail
roads were made,, and of course they did
not owe their success to the influence- of
these roads. For" 'example : our Peters

would have continued them if.it had not
been for the most unwise policy lof our
Legislature in chartering an opposition

Southern roads, has omitted all mension
of our road, although it is the oldest, and
has been the most productive in the South.

The President and Suite arrived at Chap,
el Hill on Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and
being escorted to Gerard Hall by a Pro.
cession, was welcomed to the University by
Gov. Swain, in an Address distinguished through,
out by eminent and chasteness of diction. Mr.
Polk responded most felicitously, returning his
heartfelt thanks for the cordial reception given
him, alluding most feelingly to the death of the
venerable and lamented President Caldwell,
under, whose tutelage he had derived most of
those lessons of useful instruction which he had
endeavored to jturn to profit in after years. He
rejoined that ai moment of leisure from the in
cessant routine of bis official functions had been
afforded him, wherein to pay an affectionate
visit to this sanctuary of learning, and return his
grateful acknowledgements lo his Alma Mater
for.the advantages she had extended to him.
Judge Mason also returned bis warm thanks in

jott6;.road, what was the; interest of Co
lumbia, was the interest 6f Charleston.
Hon. E. G. Palmer, of Fairfield, was
thenjintroduced, and spoljc for about thir
ty minutes with spirit anti animation. He
commenced by congratulating the citi
zens of Charleston on the signs of pros
perity every where around them. lie
t thought' the proper spirit was once more
awake among them, and he rejoiced to see
it. In regard to the road to be built, he
felt assured that if her citizens could be
jconvinced that if would be to their bene-
fit, they would not hesitate to engage in
it at once. He then adverted to the im
pression which had got abroad thatCharles
M did not wish to connect with Colum
bia, and went into an argument fortified,
hs he said, by incontrovertible facts and
statements, to prove how useless it was to
contend that the Camden
biost practicable and the
geous to Charleston.!; M
per cent, more, and this year they will
do as muih if not more, and extinguish
their debt entirely. Can the American
point out any Eastern road which is doing
as much ? 1 ,
While We do not wish to disparage what
the Richmond and Fredericksburg rail
road (the notice of whose meeting in the
Richmond papers no doubt gave occasion
to the paragraph in the American) is do
ing, yet we must call attention tolhe fact
that the Petersburg and Roanoke road
is doing better, for C per cent, dividends
and a steady reduction of debt to a large
amount is better, or will have more per
manent good effects than 7 per cent., and
treason. So, then it comes to this, upon
the premises of our new teachersln moral
and political science : That the nature and
quality of an act depends on who commits
it whether he be a dispenser of patron-:
age or an independent citizen in private
station. ,4The King can do no wrongj
the President is infallible. Passive o-j
bedinence on the part of the people an
unremissiblc dull; and all limitation or
even scrunity of Executive powers nd
acts is treacherous and impious. Exami- ' ively 30, 3 1 and 32 years previous

ceremony of reception was most pleasing and
interesting especially to every one whose bo

Monday 'nigKt was set apait for the delivery
of the Vuledicfpry Sermon before the Senior
Class, by the Right Rer. Dishop Ives. All
with whom. we have conversed, express but one
.pinion in regard to ; this most excellent and
learned Prelate ! Discourse, and that . is, that
it was most touching and impressive.,
On Thursday nihf, there were exercises in
Declamation by Speakers selected from the
Sophomore and Freshman, Classes ; and, on
Wednesday morning at 1 1 o'clock, the Annual
Address before the two Literary Societies was
delivered by James V. Osborne, Esq. of Char
lotte. This gentleman's well known reputation
as an accomplished Scholar and Orator was
fully sustained in the present instance? For a
bout an hour and a half, he enr-hained the at
tention of his large audier.ee with one of the most
chaste and eloquent addresses ever dalivered at
the University. There was no tinsel about it.
No'literary flounces were brought to decorate
the skeletons of thought, but there was seen
throughout, that rich embroidery which can be
found only in the storehouse of a well. cultiva
ted mind. His tribute of respect to Judge Gas.
ton is said to have been most heautiful, and it
appeared to thrill throughout the whole audi- hands '"the- public,
