I3ut whether it be our destiny still to go on a united people in the brilliant ca reer which we have hitherto pursued, or as divided, to continue in, as we hope, as bright a one, as some say, a far brighter one, as others, one of darkness and gloom, there is one subject in which all men who wish their country well, can unite, whether . they be Northern men' or Southern men, Unionists, Frecsoilers, Submissionists or Secessionists, & that is, the subject of mor al reform. Whether wc remain united or whether wc separate, wc wish to preserve civil liberty, and it is the opinion of our wisest men that the best and indeed only pure foundation of civil liberty is public virtue.

Within the last month we have travelled over the whole line of railroad from Maine to South Carolina, and we glory in being able to say that not one of them can com pare with the Jorth Carolina Railroad from Weldon to Wilmington. It is be yond doubt, the finest road in America for easy and speedy travelling, and we think that the newspaper press of North Caroli na should circulate the fact.

A good many news paper editors appear to think that because the Whig State Convention of Pennsylva nia nominated Gen.

Mrs. Golding, and the young woman named Elizabeth Con roy, who was in the room, attempted to interfere, whereupon he stabbod them both Mrs Golding fatally and Miss Conroy severely. He then went down stairs, where, encountering several per sons who had - been attracted by the screams of the women, he said I have killed my wife because I found her in bed with another man.
