that numbers from all parts of the conti-nent-were

The mechanics and laborers employed
were, as it appears from the records,
chiefly redemptioners, i. e.. immigrants
whose time was sold to pay their passage.
Ihe work on the building was more
than once obstructed for lack of funds.
The government was poor and in bad
credit. General Washington, in order to
prevent the abandonment of the work, us
ed his personal influence and credit to ob
tain loans from the States of Maryland
and 1rg1n1a. About 250,000 dollars'were
thus obtained.

The Fugitive Slave Law. The Lexing
ton (Miss.) Advertiser says that Judge
Wilkinson lately made a speech before
the Disunion association of that town, in
which he descanted with some warmth
on the inutility of the fugitive slave law
to the South, and declared he desired to
see it repealed, as he felt no interest in pro
tecting slavery in Virginia, Kentucky, or
Maryland. Let the Yankees take their
negroes and welcome, for what he cared ;
Mississippi lost but few slaves, and had
no interest in the'law.
From the course adopted by many ol
th" fire eaters (remarks the Mobile Daily
Advertiser) we are bound to conclude that
their sentiments are in accordance with
i those expressed by Judge Wilkinson.
They care nothing for the fugitive slave
law, and would be glad to see it repealed
to morrow; for an act of that kind would
assist, to hasten the dny when disunion is
to take place. They have said that there
is no safety for the South except in Disu
nwn, a id they would oppose the comprom
ise, assist the abolitionists to break it up,

CENTRAL ROAD.
We learn from a letter addressed by
John C. McRae. Engineer, to the f;
borough Patriot, that up to the 25th of
last month, the Central Road from Golds- '
borough to five miles beyond Hillsboro'.
had put under contract, with the excep
tion of two or three small sections.
Mr. McRae thus speaks of the lettings
at Pine ville, Johnston, and of Dr. Watson:
"On Saturday last the lettings were at
Pineville, the residence of Dr. Josiah O.
Watson,-that whole souled railroad man
and hospitable gentleman, lie submit
ted a proposition to take at once the
Bridge across Neuse and all the Road,
which his neighbors did not wish to take,
from that river to the Wayne line; and
by way of showing his confidence in, and
liberality towards the Road, he proposed
to take it all in stock. This is the gen
tleman who first proposed that he would
be one of a hundred to build the Road.
Indeed, a half dozen such noble spirits
could do it."
We have no doubt that by the 1 1th the
whole Road will have been put under
contract. Raleigh Standard.
At a late horse race in England, thirty three
horses were entered. One man lost four bun

A SOUND PRINCIPLE.
"All intermediate agencies in trade add to
its expense." Charleston Mercury.
This is the very foundation of the doctrine
of proteetioT to domestic industry. It i. the
principle which Mr. Henry C. Gurey lias been
endeavoring lo enforce by his writing in "The
Plough, ihe Loom, and Anvil." Brjnr tha

neiu and ol ihe shepherd, so that ihere will
be no occa.ion to transport ibe raw material
to a distant place to be worked up into cloth,
which has then to be transported back again
to be consumed. Again, he ay. euabli.h
forges where you have iron and coal, and pro.
visions in abundance, in.tead of .eading your
provisions three thousand miles off", and then
have them brought back in the brm of iron,
the difference between them to be made up in
gold and silver. The true rule for a nation to
prosper by is, to make all it can, and to bring
the consumer as closely in contact with the.
producer as possible, so as to save th coit of
transportation, commission., profit, c, ; in
other words, save the nece.sity of employing
persons in making the exchange of labor, who
add nothing to the value of any ailicle exchang.
ed, but only increase their cost. "

A HAIL STORM. !
i
A violent storm of wind and bail pass-
ed over the plantations of Gen. Means
and Sheriir Plunket, three miles west oC,
this town, on Wednesday afternoon.
Much damage is said to have been done
to their corn and cotton crops. Tree
were blown down and fences strewed in1
every direction. j
How far the storm extended we have
not learned. We had fine rain in town
with considerable wind, but no hail.
