' ' I W. M. MEREDITH, v Secretary of the Treasury. Rowan Factory. The Ilowan .Factory at Salisbury, was built and put in operation by a Company ; but it has fallen into the hands of Maxwell Chambers, now sole proprietor. The business is managed chiefly by Mr. J. G. Cairnes, Agent, under vvhpbe superintend, ence all the various branches 4re successfully conducted. f' There are 3000 spindles, arid 70 looms in constant operation ; and, the number of hands emploj'ed male and female, 120. The Ma- chinery is propelled by a Steam Engine, of 50 Horsepower, which consumes from 5 to 6 loads of Wood per day. Not less than 60 Bar rels of Flour are used in Starch ; and 1000 Bales of Cotton are worked up in a year. The Cloth which weighs 3 yards to the pound, and appears to be of an excellent quali ty, is made of No. 14 and 15 Yarn; it is call, ed 4-4 Sheetings. Besides supplying the home demand, there were shipped, in "five months, to the Northern Market, 249,000 yards of Cloth and 6,400 pounds of Batts. A spinning frame in this Factory, made by the Matteawan Qommpany oi J'few York, pro duces nine skeins per s,pindle per day. Although the Ho wan Factory1 appears to be doing a flourishing business ; and, doubtless, upon the present investment which is, perhaps not one third of the original' cost, the profits are large ; yet we have no idea that it will eventually be able to compete iwith those driv. en by water power. The expenses of the pro pelting power alone, over and a&ove the wear and tear of Machinery, cannot, at present, be less than from $10 to $15 a day, amounting, in a year, toa large,sum, not less than from $3,000 to $4,000 ; no inconsiderable item in the an. nual expenses. ' , ' A sensative man ought to be cautious how he enters the Loom rooms of Rpwan Factory. It requires firm nerves lo sustain the fire of more than a hundred bright eyes, all levelled at him at once, i We only took a p e-e-p. j Lincoln Republican. The editor of the " Republican" impressed by-the remembrance of seeral responsibilities at Lincolnton, dared only to "peep" at the girls in this Factory. ! Had he not been encumbered -ah! had he not been! We remember sever- al cases of vnnnir Tontlemor. wUliino- ih . . a. i f . . H T . iry' !ory iu B .ub macu.nery; put oy toe time New life, new energy, arid a new exist- ! admission of Missouri, which he makes, they had got fifty yards lom the; building tbey ence, will at once spring up ; and there will, we think, trouble. Mr. Calhoun, no could not tell you a s.ngle thing bout ... But : wi remain not even one to enquire who ' little to extricate himself, with all his lo just drop a hint about tho girls, and you would i - to hfl hpnpfittPfi hnt ftn w1m fPPl th. i : 1 find the chaps " at home." About a week af I terwards.they would want to see the Factory again. ! ; CAPTURE OF A SLAVER. The new Bedford Mercury gives the follow ing particulars of the, capture of the schooner Zenobia, of Baltimore : "On the 23d of Alarch, 1649, arrived at St. Helena a schooner called the Zenobia, of Bal- timorc, (for adjudication in the Yice Admiralty Court,) which vessel had been captured by H.

But of those who are open to conviction, and whose lives are living epistles of patriotism and usefulness, we entertain the liveliest hopes. They will not finally settle down in opposition, with out first giving the subject that serious consideration its importance demands ; and having arrived at the truth they will as heartily co-operate with their fellow citizens, now friendly to the scheme, as though they had been among its first ad vocates. " Who will the Rail Road benefit?" Why here is a field so wide that we des pair of exploring it. But as we cast an eye over it and see the thousands of in dustrious men and women toiling; on their farms and in their shops, and preying up on each other, shut up, in limits prescrib ed by great distance from that natural out-let, the seaboard, with no prospect of relief except by Rail Road, we at once perceive that this great enterprise is to benefit every man and woman so situated. It would be much more difficult to say who it will not benefit. Every man who produ ces, or manufactures, in whatever depart ment of business, must find it to his ad vantage. The annihilation of distance to some half dozen nzxv Markets, all bid- rding for his products and manufactures, will raise the prices in his favor, and stim ulate him to greater industry and enter prise. The home of his fathefs, which he had seriously thought of abandoning, , will become doubly endeared to him, and . he will at once resolve that the theatre of their career shall be bis theatre, and I ,..1..,. .ii :i -,u i l"a'' "s oua11 """ ulri.s.

This opinion was given by Mr. Calhoun twenty-seven ynarg. ago: he has doubtless changed his opin- ion on this question, as his conduct for some years past will show. But as soon as the fact was brought to light, he drop ed his resolutions, and they have been permitted to rest ever since, proving that Mr. Calhoun had entirely forgotten lhat ! riner. has been appointed by the Presi he ever maintained the power of Congress !

MR. ALLISON'S SCHOOL; Hobert Allison's School, ih '1: M of which was announced in the Vatchma0 some weeks nast. is now Cholera and Small Pox. This communhr has been twice grievously wronged Ly the cir culation in the Western counties of false rf. ports relative to its health. First, we bad ttt Small Pox here, some half dozen case?, e believe. Next, we see thet it is reported m Lincoln, that we have the Cholera, "twr citi es" having occurred. We have once before i co,radicted the report of Small Pox existing t T . a nere. it is entirely without foundation. And we now assure the public that we are as cleir of Cholera as we are of Small Pox.. No cue of the AsiaticXholera has occurred here ; cot have we had a death in Salisbury from aj cause within two weeks. Our Town is rf. markably healthy ; and as an evidence of thi our Physicians are all nearly idle. Some f them are absent from Town, either hunting up business elsewhere, or are seeking their plea, sure abroad. Others have just returned after an absence of several days, and one or tires we understand, are prepared to go visiting ooi of the county. We hope this statement will j silence the injurious reporis alluded to; and lhat no person will be prevented by them fnna coming here, whose business or pleasure may either call or inviteJhem to do so. ' Minister to Spain. Hon. D. M:. Bar- Small Pox. We have been requested lj a citizen of Lexington to contradict the, rumor of the existence of Small Pox in that Town. It is entirely false; there is not now, nor Lri there, at any time, been a case of the disease there. THE SALISBURY CONVENTION".

We trust that. its it l ion will meet the expectations of the. friends ot the great project and of the public everywhere : Zeal, patriotism, wisdom in counsel, and can- i dor in opinion, could do no more than has befP done by this body.
