The Milton Chronicle, in a chapter on the above says, " of all lhe Chi isimas .fools, the man who shoots Christmas guns, is in our opin ion, the biggest." Now friend Evans, we've heard of a case in Davidson county, compared to which, your biggest fools are wise men. There was a chap over there got so diunk, be cause it. teas Christmas, that at night, while sitting, and dozing over the! fire pitched into the flumes, and " burnt his eyes out of his head." It is quite certain, we were told, that one of his peepers is g- ne. The other may recover from the injury. But at our present writing, he has to place one hand on the upper lid, and the other on the lower, of that eye, and pull tbe lids open, in order to get a peep at what's going on in the world since ChiUtmas. Wasn't he a Christmas b'hoyi and isn't he in a pretty fix for his sweet heart, or, it may be. for bis wife and children, to look at ? A Raleigh correspondent of the Asheville Messenger, under dale of ihe 5th of December says : " The Commissioners of the Western Turn pike," have reported, and also S. M. Fox, the Engineer, recommended the completion of the road west of Asheville only ; the greatest rise on which is 1 foot in 16, and east of Ashe ville only 1 fool in 20. Elegant Maps have been prepared and fornished of the wh- le sur vey in minui detail. The pay of Commission ers amounts t $1,554 00, outfit and stationary $9,072 73 ! !

The execution of Brown and Williams tor the murder of Mr. Hewett, was to have taken place yesterday, but by an order from the Governor, received on Wednesday, it was extended to the 15th of January next.

We have been per mitted lo extract from a letter received by a : 9 gentleman in this place, from! a lady residing in Charlotte, tbe following items in regard to the Small Pox in that Town. The letter is dated Dec. 26. 1850. The Small Pox is spreading fast in Char totte. There are eight white persons who now have it. Amongst these is Mrs. Alsabrook. The servants I cannot number. Mr. Graham has lost four servants with the complaint. He has three children now sick. Many families have left. There are some ten or twelve tarn lies gone, and some making ready logo to ihe country."

They then effected an entrance by jerk ing ihe doors and locks ; and proceeded with crowbars, scantling and other implements, to the cells, where they met with resistance Irom Broun, who, although shackled, as so..n as the cells were opened, siepped into the hall, dis armed a lew of the mobbers. bv taking Irom them lhe crowbars and scantling, barred his cell on lhe inside, and defied them. He Kroke the scaniliug over the mobbers, and gave them striking illusliatibns of his entire disapproval of such unlawful proceedings. The prisoners were again secured in the i-ells, and bfnrt dark the crowd dispersed. Thus resulted, what at first all supposed would be a miml disgraceful affair. The mob fell hack, and a few of our citizens dropped in at this conjuncture, and prevented further violence. JUSTICE.

It will be recollected by those who noticed Saturday's proceeding in the JSeoat. that the bill for the aid of the Wibningion and M;u hes ler Rail Road Co., after having been once re jected, was reconsidered, and again rjfctd. Upon its second f ejection, however. Mi. Lil lington. Senator from Rowan a no Davie. chang. ed his vote to the rnajoiity lor the purpose of again moving a re- onsideiaiion ; which he did on Monday. Speaker Edwards decided a motion to recon sider a second time out of order. Mr. Lilting, ton contested the point of order, in a very able and ingenious argument quoting as a prece. dent against the decision of the Speaker, a simi lar point differently decided in 1832, in tbe Na tional Legislatore, as more recently the decis ion at the lime of the passage of the Texas Boundary Bill, which is doubtless familhar to all. This interesting point of order has been post, poned for consideration. Upon it hangs the fate of the Bill, which has given rise lo it, and wbieh is of essential importance, hardly less to a number of citizens in any one section, than to lbe State at large ! Star, which has been apprised of the nature of this rumor, has already made lbe correction. Message of the Governor of Virginia- A National Covtnlion in Baltimore !

One of the most obvious modes hy which our commercial independence can he at rained, is by a judicious system of internal improvement, which, by dev eloping the resources of the country, will establish large markets in our own Stale. This is a proposition so plain that it is alr af meeting with favor in a portion of our State which has heretofore h en opposed to internal improvements. We allude to the south side of James River. For) ears past, with an occasional exception the Delegates representing this section in ihe Legislature have been, restrained b their constituents from voting forappropria ions for Internal improvement. Recent events have caused a change in the views ol ma hy of those who have been most stringent on this subject. They now see thai the South never can prosper, never can suffi ciently strengthen itself for such an emer gency as the North may force upon it, un less avenues of internal communication are made, and the vast products of the countrj brought to our own markets.
