If circumsiftiiccs permitted, ihey would of themselves command rnv .prcBcnre, inde pendently of tlio strong inducements for going, growing out of thn deep interest I lake in the great work (the Central Kail Road.) to promote ,titcli the Couvenlion is to assemble. I learn with nrOttlc surprise that some of the friends of tins work entertain fears of its failure. My own convictions of its wisdom and justice, on the corilrnry, inspire wiili the-strongest hopes.. It is deman ded hv the niu.it unent Slate necessities Commercial. Agricultural, and Political, and I doubt if our whole legislat .ve histo ry were searched, a measure fraught with more good to the people of ihe State could be found. The wealth of the S'.atc its relative political strength nnd importance the richnes?, hnppiness, and pMsperity of the people arej in my opinion, insepnra- bly connecied with it. Besides, the peo ple of the West arc aroused to a proper r,i r, rC iKaiv iirnnfd no isrAll atf frtAIV rtiita ociiat; ui iiiTn nutna 110 a tttvu t initio. and I am entirely pers.undedjlXa4lkeAtei spirit ana 01 n sense or jusuce y secona their efforts. They arc in want of mar kets for the. valuable product of their rich lands in want of channels for transporta tion and their claims are too 8trolJg,fnd just to be longer postponed without an 1 Ul trr disregard of the teachings of wisdom ;uid the lessons of experience. But should my expectations piove falla cious nnd the work tail, or some other be not rpredily authorized, which shall combine all its advantages by making us a more united people and saving the sinking for tunes of the State, I shall regurd North Carolina as doomed.

Domingo, we havo Ihe ' follqwing intelli gence : For the pas', two months th city was in n state of grea't excrtement, on account of the cow.ily conduct of the President, who was on the point of sacrificing his country ro th Haylinns, . .Heiiridhi3 OcneraU hnd deserted his army, and abandoned several strong points, and tho enemy were making direct for thf chy, whan the former President (Santa Anna) arrested their progress with a few Hundred men, and drove them back into theifowrt territory Santa Artna after the fight desired to return home, but was refused admission into the cit.Mr'ben the whole country arose in his hjchaftand laid siege to the city. On the 16tn Of May the tyrant within, com nenced arresting men and. women, and threatening the lives of all who jjje op posed to him. A great number took refuge in the houses of the several Consuls. An attempt had been tna.le to arreat Mr. KUtot, the American Consul, which would have suc ceeded, with thai of 80 persons, who had luken refuge under his flag, had not the British Consul, and the Captain of an En glish man of-war interfered. On the 22d, at 4 P. M.. they commenc ed firing from all the forls of Santa Anna, which continued to 2 P. M , of th; vlSd, when white flag come from Sinta Anna, with a demand that they should surrender, ns he had 8000 men and 20 pieces of cannon ; tf they relused he said he would take the city. JPnwusilisreie scarce m the city, and ftla; Ann has pforeHfa tended Id put ibe nianu IB tne possession of tke Ifcytiens It is believed Jimines will stand the siege. .Sjiila Anna having refused all medi ation, the Consuls will embark on board the. man-of-war in the harbor. All the women and children, together with the Congress, are to go outside. Santa Anna has h!000 men, nnd Jimines has 400 and the fortifications. THE ANNEXATION OF CANADA A Toronto (.omspondent of the Rothn In Daily Advrtisrr, cortfesses his positive conviction that a majority of the peopto of Canada are willing to be annexed to the government of the United S'ates His lan guage, it will be seen by the following ex tract, is very decided " 1 bel.eve the time to have arrived when annexation could be effected if it depended upon the majority of the Canadians.
