It is with the greatest satisfaction that we have the pleasure of announcing that the Great North Carolina Rail Road is safe. The one million of dollars requir ed lo be made up by individuals, is all taken, and it now only remains to place those subscriptions in proper form and to pay the five per cent, and the Company will be immediately organized. And then, in the language of Gov. Morehead, let the dirt begin to flyr all along the line at once. It is believed that this Road, if all the sub scribers will prove prompt, can be com pleted in two or three years. We feel confident that the spirit which has been manifested, where stock has been taken, will-insure this result. Rowan has be gun. , See the notice , below. Rail Road Notice.

That is our notion exactly. Wd would rather have the whole territory ceded back to Mexico, or relinquished altogether to the dwellers therein, to do with it what to them may seem good, or got rid of in any other peaceable way. than to see the Un ion really jeoparded by its retention. Wilmington Chronicle. And these are also our sentiments : We had rather cede back the whole territory to Mexico than that the land of Washing, ton the land of our fathers should be torn assunder ; and the experiment of Re publicanism fail. We have often pre dicled that Modern Democracy would ru in the Country: we ever feared the re sults of the Mexican war as a part of its policy, and the acquisition of new territo ry, was, from the first, declared to be most dangerous, inasmuch as it would inevita bly bring upon us the very evils which now so alarmingly threat our safety. But democracy was progressive ! and no Robbery. A stage robbery took plaec in Davidson county, on Sunday morninr last, between Lexington and Hargrare's plantation, a few miles this side of the former place. The straps of the Boot were cut, and the only trunk in it ifo property of Mr. J. Rhodes Browx of IVe York, was taken out. The villains were, in n measure, at least, disappointed. 1 heir object, no doubt, was money. Of this, they got none, Mr. B. carrying his money about his person. But the loss of ' his clothing has put him to inconvenience and delay. , Search being instituted on the same day, in the neighborhood where the robberj was most probably committed, suspicions tracks were found ; and on being follow ed led to the creek, where after a little searching, the trunk was discovered. It had been filled with rocks, and sunk ia the creek. Nothing of its contents ex cept some small articles of clothing re mained in it. Several valuable books English works on the subject of mano- factures, were in the trunk ; and if lbey have not been destroyed may yet serve a good purpose to the public. We learn that this is not the first time robberies have either been attempted or actually committed in the same. neighbor hood. We would suggest that the good cjk izens there keep a sharp look out for these offenders. They can be detected by a little watchfulness.
