" AitlCLE XXVII. To prevent disorder and irregu

Among the measures recommended by
the Secretary of the Interior, is the great
one of a road, through our own Territory
to the Pacific. One of his minor mea
sures is the provision of houses, with fur
niture, light and fuel, lor the heads of De
partments, and the Vice President. This
measure- is called for. as a necessary al
ternative to an increase! of the salary of
thq. officers Indicated. A man of moder
ate fortune cannot, without much embar
rassment, lii-e here on the salary of six
thousand dollars, in the manner a Secre
tary is obliged to live. 1
It is believed that we hold California
by a feeble tenure, and that after awhile,
the golden region will slip away from our
nominal coritrol. A communication over
land, is therefore, much' urged, but the dis
pute about jhe route to be selected, will
prevent any immediate action on the sub
ject. A New-York Company offers to
build a Hail Road for the government, and
complele it in five years. It will cost
about a hundred millions, and then per
haps,' he unproductive. The gold work:
ings will be exhausted in ten years, and
California Vill then be less sought. for than
Oregon. . The resource from imports into
California has fallen I off a million this
3?ear, in comparison wjth the last, and the
reason is, that she is supplied more chea
ply with commodities from New-York.-
If the Teh uan tepee route be Opened, it
will in time of peace, be preferred for tra
vel and transportation, between the Atlan
tic arid Pacific, to our overland route.
The Pine Land Country.-Circumstances,
among which stand most prominently
our Plank Road improvements, have open
ed the eyes of the public'to the immense
value of our pine forests and sandy lands.
There are k few among us who have long
entertained a propor idea of their value,
(among whom we may name the Hon.
Robert Strange ;) but with the public gen
eraly "they bave been so little appreciated
that within our knowledge any number of
thousands of acres have been sold at from
one cent to? twenty-five cents an acre. -Now,
some of the same lands bring from
one to five dollars an acre. Indeed we have
heard of a sale that exceeds even this.
A large body of pine land was sold for
taxes; some years ago. and brought three
dollars and a half. The same property
has been sold within a few days, without
any improvement whatever, for Eight
Thousand Jjotlurs !
There can be no question, that within
for cash, and just at this time those de
mands are crowding in upon us at a rate
that is frightful to a printer's purse.
We shall remember with gratitude those
who respond to this call between this and
the 15lh January next, as it is to meet de
mands falling due within that time: that
we shall more particularly need money.
You can ascertain the amount due; by reference to
your last receipt, and an examination of the terms of
the paper.
We have received several communica

Eitension of the Central Rail Road. A
very animated discussion! running through sev
eral days, has been had in our Legislature on
a bill for the extenaion of the Central Rail
Road West, to the Tennessee line ; and East,
to tbe Atlantic. A publication of all that has
been said on ibis subject, though interesting,
would proe unacceptable to the reader, espev
cially since the bill has been defeated. But we
find in the proceedings ofj the Senate oflhe 13th
instant, the following speech by our Senator
Mr. Lillington, which is not only very cred
itable lo him, as showing tis ability and
strength as a debater, and; his watchfulness of
tbe interests of his constituents, but as contain
inr matter which claims the attention of this
community :
Mr. Lillington aid he was friendly, both lo
Ihe original bill and ihe aiiiendment of the Seir.
ator from Lincoln, which together provide for
the extension of ther Central Rail Road East lo
Beaufort, and West to the Tennessee line. -The
only question with hjim was one of time
Is tbe Stale now ready to complete the great
scheme of Improvement devised at ihe, Session
of 1849 ? Is her condition such as to justify
her in investing some two millions and a half
more, in ihe proposed extension. East and
West, of her Central Road? His mind in
clined him lo tbe opinion; that she traand if
these two hills stood alone, each upon his own
merits, as they were originally dawn, he
thought he should support them both. But, Sir,
continued Mr. L., 1 agree r with the Senator
from Craven, that should this amendment be
adopted, aud these two bills, drawn without re
ference to each other, incongruous and dissim
ilar in their details, incorporating two separate
and distinct companies, standing in separate
and distinct relation to the State and her in
vestments in each, then jthe bill as amended
would be, and ought to be, voted top. It
would, if passed, be a dead letter upon your
statuto book. 'The bill before us, extending the
road to Beaufort, is an engrossed hill from the
House of Commons. The a?nendmenPpropos4
ed by the Senator from Ljirtcoln, is the bill en
titled the North Carolina and Tennessee
Rail Road. Bill, which has been lying on our5
table for several weeks. But it comes before,
us now, Sir, not in its original fcfrm. The first
section, you will find upon reference lo ihe
printed bill has been materially altered. It reads
thus "That, for the purpose of effecting a
Rail Road communication between the North
Carolina Railroad, at the town of Salisbury,'
and tbe town of Knoxville Tennessee, the for
mation of a corporate company," dec, dir. ;"
The words. " at the town of Salisbury,1 have
been stricken out by the Senator from Lincoln,
acting in conrert, I understand, with the Sena
tor from Mecklenburg. Again, in ibe second
section which reads, " commencing at a point
upon the North Carolina railroad, at or near
the town of Salisbury, in the County of Row.
an," die, the words "at or near the town of
Salisbury, in tbe County of! Rowan," have also
been stricken out.
Now, Sir, why has this erasure been made?
If it be merely for the purpose of leaving the pre-;
cise point ol juncture open. to he ascertained here
after by actual survey, then it is wholly unne
cessary, for it is well known, especially to the
Senator from Lincoln, lhat Salisbury is a cen.
fral point, about midway between the S. Cao.
lina and Virginia lines, arid that at that point
the Central road deflects towards South Caroli.
na, and runs due South, (at any rate but a little
vV-est of South,) to Charlotte. Of this any Se.
nator may satisfy himself! by looking at the
map. Then, if this is to continue to be a con.
tral roaf, the extension West must necessarily
commence at or near the town of Salisbury.-
But if, as I suspect, ihe design is to change tbe
whole cbaracier of the work and establish; the
eastern terminus of the Western extension at
the town of Charloiie, near the Southern bor
der of our Siale, wilbin 13 miles, of the South
Carolina line, let the title of the bill bo 'hang
ed label it no longer falsely the North Caro
lina and Tennessee Rail Road bill .Jet it be
called, as it really would be, the South Caroli
na Rail Road bill. Is it not known "to every
Senator, here, that all our Western trade, which
we have been struggling Oo long and so anx-
road through the count u. And this is no
speculaliVejri.se, but is forced upon the

to Charleston if ibis connection is made as far
Souih as Charlotte ? How much of the trade,
Sir, of the County of MecklVnburg will pass
over our present road to our own ports ? Not
one sliver. Are we then prepared to voter
away two millions more to drain off our ira.dV
and resources into another Slate? To invest
an additional two millionsin such a way as not
to add one dollar to the va(te of ihe stock of our
central road but on ibe contrary lo reduce it
below par? Sir, every consideration of sell
interest forbids it, every emotion of patriotism
forbids it. I irust in God a majority of this
Senate is not so destitute 'ol Slate pride as to
stand quietly by and see every scheme of im
provement devised for ihe benefit of the people
of Noith Carolina, to devefope her resources
and lo elevate her character enure to tbe ben.
efit of neighboring States !
Mr, Caldwell rose to explain. The Sena
tor from Rowan speaks of patriotism, but his
patriotism seems to be confined lo but one lo.
cality, to that section of country lying near the
towji of Salisbury. His spirit of improvement
would seem to stop there. How does it affect
the success of this great work whether the ex
tension should commence at any one particular
point, whether it should connect at Salisbury
r Charlotte or any other place? Does not
that Senator know that you cannot coercetrade
that it is governed by its own laws, that do
what you will it will seek the best markets and
will go where the greatest inducements Ire
held out to it ? j
Mr. Lillington. I gave way. Sir, for an ex.
planation. But ibe explanaijon of the Senator
comes in so questionable a shape that it lose,
o my apprehension, all claim whatever lo ibe
term. -H ,s no explanation at all. Sir, I make
no professions of patriotism. I came not here
to indulge in self commendation for the posses
Hon of that or any other virtue. But, Sir,
